Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★
Overview: K. Wah International Holdings Limited is an investment holding company involved in property development and investment in Hong Kong and Mainland China, with a market capitalization of approximately HK$7.79 billion.
Operations: The company’s revenue is primarily derived from property development in Mainland China (HK$5.91 billion) and Hong Kong (HK$540.49 million), along with property investment generating HK$642.97 million.
Market Cap: HK$7.79B
K. Wah International Holdings, with a market capitalization of HK$7.79 billion, derives substantial revenue from property development in Mainland China and Hong Kong. It has managed to reduce its debt-to-equity ratio over the past five years, maintaining a satisfactory net debt level relative to equity. The company’s short-term assets significantly exceed both its short- and long-term liabilities, reflecting strong liquidity. However, recent earnings have declined sharply by 58.2%, with forecasts indicating further declines over the next three years. Despite trading below estimated fair value, its return on equity remains low at 0.9%, and dividend stability is uncertain due to an unstable track record.

The company reported a net loss of CN¥250 million for the same period but has improved from a larger loss last year. Its debt management is prudent with a satisfactory net debt to equity ratio of 13.2%, though short-term liabilities exceed assets, posing potential liquidity concerns amidst ongoing legal issues and governance changes.
