Cheung Kong - difficult to analyse. Holding company (mostly a 50% stake in Hutchinson) and on the operational side a real estate developer in Hong Kong and China. The stock is trading at a small premium to book. (P/B around 1.05)

Both HK and China's real estate market have been booming but the Chinese government is clamping down on RE speculation, which could hurt companies like Cheung Kong. If i remember correctly the 97/98 crisis hurt Cheung Kong quite a bit.

On the other side, Templeton owns 6.5% of the company stock, so I consider this a strong vote of confidence.
