Hongkong Land stands to benefit from selling part of One Exchange Square in Hong Kong, CGS International analysts say in a research report.
Based on gross proceeds of HK$6.3 billion for the sale of nine floors of office space and two floors of retail space, the analysts estimate an average selling price of HK$42,800 a square foot.
That translates to a 3.1% rental yield for the company, according to their calculations.
About one-fifth of the sales proceeds will be used for share buyback, which is expected to be net asset value-accretive.
The brokerage raises the stock's target price to US$4.91 from US$4.82, with an unchanged hold rating.
Shares are last at US$4.68.
