The share price of CapitaMalls Asia has been rising and with strong momentum too. Amidst bullish calls by research houses, I would not be surprised if its share price were to go even higher.
Citigroup adds CapitaMalls Asia (JS8.SG) to its Focus List.
"In the next few years, we expect China to be the key driver of CMA's earnings growth, as the company harvests gains from multi-year investments that have expanded its footprint to 36 cities in the country. The majority of the China portfolio is still in the growth stage, or in the process of stabilisation. India, from a low base, also offers significant upside potential," it says, expecting its Singapore exposure offers a visible stream of recurring income.
CMA's competitive advantages in China can't be easily replicated, including a strong brand equity and solid track record as a first-mover, ability to tie up with other local developers and access to a varied, cheaper pool of financing, Citi says.
"Moreover, CMA has an efficient capital recycling model (via three listed REITs and six private real-estate funds) that enables capital to be freed up for future growth opportunities, which offers upside to our earnings estimates." It tips CMA as its preferred pick among China's retail landlords and within Singapore's developers. It raises its target to $2.58 from $2.08 after increasing RNAV on changed China cap-rate assumptions; it keeps a Buy call.

Today's long white candle day formed on the back of heavy volume is a good sign. Overcoming immediate resistance at $2.24 could see price hitting $2.41 next.
