E-House China secondary offering
By stlplace on Jan 17, 2008 in China, IPO
Quoting Reuter News: E-House China (EJ), filed with U.S. regulators on Thursday for an offering of $175 million of its American depositary shares. Note the company recently formed alliance with some major home builders in China (read the news from CNNMoney).
Now they are asking more money from the market, the shareholders (old or new). From my observation the China housing market is at a psychological tipping point, i.e., it is facing a correction to say the least. But in long term, I do believe there are rooms to grow.
I am not planning to buy the EJ. But for reference (Yahoo Finance), it closing price today $21.71 represents PE (ttm) of 44, and Price/sales (ttm) of 16.7.
