High growth potential, good value and pays a dividend

One reason why investors are attracted to 813 is its notable earnings growth potential in the near future of 22%. This growth in the bottom-line is bolstered by an impressive top-line expansion of 68% over the same period, which is a sustainable driver of high-quality earnings, as opposed to pure cost-cutting activities. In the previous year, 813 has ramped up its bottom line by 13%, with its latest earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did 813 outperformed its past performance, its growth also exceeded the Real Estate industry expansion, which generated a 6.2% earnings growth. This is an notable feat for the company.

813's shares are now trading at a price below its true value based on its discounted cash flows, indicating a relatively pessimistic market sentiment. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts' consensus forecast growth be correct. Compared to the rest of the market, 813 is also trading below other listed companies on the HK stock exchange, relative to earnings generated. This bolsters the proposition that 813's price is currently discounted.
