 Stable asset values

PERFORMANCE Underlying profit attributable to shareholders was US$905 million, a 3% decrease from 2014. Taking into account the net non-trading gains of US$1,107 million recorded principally on property valuations of the Group’s investment properties, the profit attributable to shareholders for the year was US$2,012 million. This compares to US$1,327 million in 2014, which included net valuation gains of US$397 million.

The net asset value per share at 31st December 2015 was US$12.19, compared with US$11.71 at the end of 2014.

The Directors are recommending a final dividend of US¢13.00 per share, providing a total dividend for the year of US¢19.00 per share, unchanged from the previous year

EPS of about 85.50 cents.

Current price of US$6.04  is about almost 50% of the NAV of US$12.19 .

PE of about 7.06 times.

I think it will be quite a good price to consider to accumulate if the price goes below $5.90 that may present a good long term value investment ...
