China Overseas Land & Investment Limited — Cyborg Score 5/10
Mixed
Real Estate Development & Commercial Property Management
Strategic Profile
In addition to property development, COLI has actively grown its commercial property portfolio, with a dual focus on offices and shopping malls for recurring income. The company is focused on property development and commercial property management in major cities including London, Hong Kong, Macau and 60 cities in mainland China. COLI holds about a 40% stake in China Overseas Grand Oceans, a real estate developer focusing on lower-tier cities in China.
Cyborg Score Rationale
In 2024, revenue was 185.15 billion HKD, a decrease of 8.58% compared to the previous year, with earnings down 38.95%. COLI's gross profit margin has been declining in the past two years, and its reliance on public land tenders makes it relatively more vulnerable to increasing land prices. However, analysts maintain positive sentiment with buy ratings.
