HSBC Global Research issued a research report anticipating that Hong Kong's property market policy stance will continue to favor the real estate market, with REITs potentially presenting new opportunities.

Among Hong Kong homebuilders, the broker favored SHK PPT (00016.HK)/ HENDERSON LAND (00012.HK)/ SINO LAND (00083.HK), with all rated at Buy, and kept its target prices unchanged at $147.5/ $37/ $13.9, respectively.

Following the government's announcement to raise the stamp duty on residential properties valued over $100 million from 4.25% to 6.5%, some developers' stock prices shed by about 2% yesterday (25th). The broker considered this share price correction healthy given the sector's strong YTD uptrend.

The impact of this measure should be limited as it accounts for only 0.3% of the market's total trading volume. The intention is likely to increase fiscal revenue rather than suppress the overall residential market.

More importantly, HSBC Global Research believed that, based on the bigger picture of the land and housing policy under the 2026-27 Budget, the government's stance on the housing market remains supportive.
