Within China's real estate sector, the covered companies' earnings in 2025 are expected to continue to decline significantly from that in 2024, according to CICC's research report.

Of which, CHINA RES LAND (01109.HK), CHINA OVERSEAS (00688.HK) and C&D INTL GROUP (01908.HK) may record a YoY decline of about 15-20% in 2025 earnings, though their profit levels remained considerable.

Firms like GREENTOWN CHINA (03900.HK), YUEXIU PROPERTY (00123.HK), CH OVS G OCEANS (00081.HK), POLY PROPERTY (00119.HK) and SEAZEN HOLDINGS (601155.SH) may record positive profits, albeit marginal.

Companies such as LONGFOR GROUP (00960.HK) and URBAN CONS DEV (600266.SH) may incur slight losses, while BINJIANG GP (002244.SZ) and CHINA JINMAO (00817.HK) may see steady and increasing core profits.

CICC focused on adjusting the earnings of covered targets for 2025-2026, and kept ratings/ target prices for the 'covered' targets unchanged. A positive stance is maintained on the real estate sector this year. After fully accounting for negative earnings expectations, potential risks identified by CICC may lie in the financial conditions of individual companies.
