【新聞點評】羅嘉瑞收美國租 買香港樓

近日打開報紙地產版,經常看到的新聞是「羅嘉瑞買樓」。說的是鷹君(00041)主席羅嘉瑞醫生家族,自去年起成為「樓市大好友」,累計掃入80多個物業,涉資逾12億元。

不少人疑惑,羅醫生何以對樓市充滿信心?他又為何猶如擁有無限彈藥?事實上,身為老牌「富二代」,羅嘉瑞固然「家底厚」,最近幾年單是從鷹君收取股息,已「淨袋」逾20億元。值得留意的是,鷹君最大收入來源是北美酒店業務,所以羅嘉瑞堪稱為「收美國租,買香港樓」。

據本報地產版統計,羅嘉瑞家族去年在港購入多達65伙住宅物業,包括58伙新盤單位,兼且往往「大手掃貨」,例如豪擲2.33億元認購黃竹坑滶晨15個單位,以及斥1.2億元購買元朗錦上路柏瓏11個單位等等。埋單計數,羅嘉瑞家族在2025年向樓市投入接近11億元,無疑是城中「大好友」之一,特別是被很多發展商銷售部門視為「財神爺」。

踏入2026年,羅嘉瑞家族並未放慢步伐,繼續維持掃貨頻率,包括在啟德HENLEY和將軍澳日出康城分別購入9伙單位,合計達到18伙,耗資約1.5億元。換句話說,自去年至今,羅嘉瑞家族至少買入83個住宅物業,涉資達12.5億元。

不少市場人士疑惑,羅醫生家族為何猶如擁有無限彈藥?事實上,今年79歲的羅嘉瑞屬老牌「富二代」,是上世紀富商、鷹君創辦人羅鷹石之三子,早年在美國康奈爾大學取得醫學博士學位,並曾在密歇根大學醫院擔任心血管專科醫生。及至1980年代,羅嘉瑞奉召返港,獲安排接掌家族業務,並自2006年起擔任鷹君主席。換言之,身為本港百年富商家族之第二代掌舵人,羅嘉瑞自然「家底厚」。

單計上市公司旗艦鷹君,目前市值約128億元。根據該公司年報,羅嘉瑞本身在鷹君持股逾21%,並透過家族信託持有約42%股權。換句話說,據粗略估算,考慮到其他家族成員的權益後,羅嘉瑞在鷹君至少佔有逾40%股權。此外,鷹君旗下還有另外兩家上市公司冠君產業(00778)和朗廷酒店(01270),皆由羅嘉瑞掌控及擔任主席。

同時,鷹君作為高息股,目前孳息率達5.3厘。據統計,該公司自2018年至今累斥逾50億元派發股息。這意味着身為大股東的羅嘉瑞,這幾年單是從鷹君收取股息,據估計已「淨袋」逾20億元,難怪他有這麼多彈藥在樓市掃貨。

值得留意,鷹君作為成立於1963年的本港老牌地產商,自八十年代起在羅嘉瑞帶領下,持續推動業務多元化轉型,現時大部分收入來自海外,特別是北美地區,當中包括在世界各地擁有及管理30多家豪華酒店。根據鷹君2025年中期業績,該公司期內酒店業務收入達23.9億元,佔總收入(40億元)60%。其中,來自紐約、芝加哥、波士頓、華盛頓、多倫多等北美城市的酒店收入貢獻最多,合計達13.4億元,按年增長5.6%。此外,澳洲/紐西蘭和歐洲地區的酒店業務收入,亦分別達3.6億和3.4億元。

尤其是美國近年經濟向好,去年第三季GDP增長達4.4%,當地酒店業亦持續暢旺。據CoStar統計,美國去年豪華酒店(luxury hotel)平均房價增長達5%,今年據估計亦將進一步增長逾4%,特別是可望受到6至7月上演的世界盃(由美國、加拿大、墨西哥聯合主辦)帶動。由此角度看,北美酒店業務可說是鷹君一大「現金牛」,並將繼續為羅嘉瑞醫生貢獻豐厚的股息收入。

換句話說,羅嘉瑞醫生某程度上「收美國租,買香港樓」,堪稱為「兩邊對沖,分散風險」。在此格局下,今後不論是「東升西降」抑或「西升東降」,羅醫生皆有望從中受惠,能夠笑到最後。

當然,反過來看,身為在北美、歐洲、澳洲等各地經營實業生意的跨國商人,羅醫生肯定具有獨到之國際視野,但他依然選擇在香港樓市做「大好友」,尤其是最近一年多頻繁「瞓身掃貨」,底裏相信反映了他對環球局勢的判斷,特別是對本港長遠經濟前景具有高度信心(high conviction),才會如此押下重注。

亦如上文提到,羅嘉瑞最近幾年單是從鷹君收息已「袋」逾20億元,兼且作為百年富商家族掌舵人,彈藥肯定非常充沛。根據最新消息,該家族1月份已在樓市掃貨至少18伙,勢頭未見稍緩,似乎今年依然馬不停蹄入貨,累計耗資金額有機會超過20億元。由此看來,羅醫生今年仍將是地產版新聞標題的常客,部分讀者或會覺得「睇到悶」,對於市場卻屬佳音,其象徵意義值得持續密切關注。
