What is Sunac China Holdings Predictability Rank?

Warren Buffett said many times that the companies he likes are:

1. Simple businesses that he understands
2. that have predictable and proven earnings and
3. with economic moat
4. those can be bought at a reasonable price.

It is hard to quantify "simple businesses that he (Buffett) understands", so we will focus on the other three characteristics instead. In GuruFocus Research: What worked in the market from 1998-2008? Part I: Introduction of Predictability Rank, we will show that the businesses that have predictable and proven earnings are usually also simple businesses that an average person could understand.

GuruFocus conducted a back test study of Warren Buffett's strategy of "buying good companies at fair prices" for the years from 1998-2008.

Sunac China Holdings Predictability Rank Calculation

In our database there are 2403 stocks that have been traded from Jan. 2, 1998 to Aug. 31, 2008. We have the complete 10-year financial data and trading prices of these companies for this period. We rank the predictability of these companies based on the consistency of their revenue per share and EBITDA (earning before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) per share over the past ten fiscal years, and study the correlation between the stock performances and the predictability of the business.

Our study may be subject to these biases and assumptions:

Dividend yields are not counted for investment returns
Effects of price changes due to spin-offs may not be fully adjusted
Study is subjected to survivorship bias due to de-listing, bankruptcy, LBO, M&A, etc.

The correlation between business predictability and investment returns of a company is showed below.

Property developer Sunac China commenced operations in 2003 and listed on the Hong Kong exchange in 2010. Based in Tianjin, Sunac is geographically well diversified across China like many large-scale listed PRC developers, and into major cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hainan. Sunac is founded by Sun Hongbin, major shareholder and chairman of the company that previously established Sunco Group and adopted a high leverage strategy, which Sunac also then embraced. On top of aggressive asset expansion in recent years, the significant acquisition of a stake in non-related business Leshi Internet, as well as the landmark portfolio acquisition of Dalian Wanda theme park assets on the back of a highly leveraged balance sheet, have also garnered much market attention.
