Guohao (0053.HK)'s interim results up to the end of December last year turned a loss into a profit, earning HK$3,347 billion, mainly due to increased earnings while the self-operated investment business followed the financial market recovery during the period; however, the stock is being proposed for privatization, and the stock price response was limited.
Citigroup believes that with the improvement of the investment environment, the latest market value of Guohao's assets after the re-listing can rise to HK$156.51 per share; raise the target price accordingly to HK$110, and maintain the buying rating. In December of last year, Guohao received the majority shareholder, Hong Leong, to privatize it with a cash bid of HK$88 per share, involving HK$8.246 billion.
