Due to a lack of significant asset sale gains and a cautious stance by management towards the macro environment, HENDERSON LAND (00012.HK)'s underlying earnings and DPS distribution last year were 21% and 26% lower than market consensus, CLSA said in its report.

With the rebound in Hong Kong property prices, stabilization of rental rates in Chinese property portfolios, and a low base of asset sales, however, this unexpected decline likely marked the bottoming out of earnings. CLSA eyed the dividend reduction as a one-off event.
