Re Swire group. SWRAY:

This may be the better page:
swirepacific.com

While property may be driving it (which is the case for almost all HK large caps, except Hutchison), the other divisions matter in terms of underlying profit (~1/3) even though Cathay's earnings (which count towards aviation) is currently not much better than breakeven.

FWIW, i don't know why they listed their property division at all. I don't think they needed the capital and it trades at one of the largest discounts to NAV of the HK majors. I am not bullish on HK real estate but not extremely bearish either. HK high end residential RE is certainly in a bubble, but Swire does very little business there. HKD is coupled to USD, so Bernanke's bubble extends to HK as well.
