0929 GMT - Investors' risk appetite for China's distressed developers has risen, HSBC analysts say in a research note. "Some investors have gone down the quality ladder and are pondering opportunities in the distressed universe" on potential turnaround and debt restructuring progress, analysts say. However, HSBC is mindful of potential risks tied to mandatory convertible bonds as a major component of debt restructuring proposals, as the bonds could lead to significant share dilution. HSBC likes China Resources Land and C&D International Investment Group. The analysts say that further catalysts, such as a possible margin recovery in the coming 1H results and any acquisition of prime land sites, would drive a rerating. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
