Summary of the Conference Call for Binjiang Group Industry Overview - The real estate market in 2026 is expected to transition from an incremental market to a stock market, with significant differences in the pace of fundamental recovery across cities. Key influencing factors include supply-demand relationships and income levels. Simple comparisons of rental yields and mortgage rates are insufficient to accurately assess housing price recovery, as actual mortgage rates and buyer income inflation must also be considered [2][4][5]. Key Insights on Binjiang Group - Binjiang Group has a strong presence in Hangzhou, leading in land auctions in 2025. The company has a clean inventory, and the net profit margin of sold but unsettled value has improved. It is expected that the settlement profit margin will gradually increase from 2025 to 2026, benefiting from the recovery of Hangzhou's fundamentals, which may enhance the company's profitability [2][7]. - The technology sector is driving wealth growth, which is reflected in asset prices. Hangzhou, due to the AI technology wave, is attracting talent and supporting housing prices in the Binjiang area. High-tech industrial clusters are more likely to show signs of housing price stabilization, making it essential to monitor the development dynamics in these regions [2][8]. - Binjiang Group demonstrates strong resilience during the current real estate cycle's bottoming and recovery phase. The company has relatively clean land reserves and low impairment pressure, indicating a high likelihood of benefiting from industry recovery with minimal downside risk in profit settlements. The current valuation of approximately 1x PB is deemed reasonable, reflecting its land reserve situation and impairment pressure [2][9][10]. Financial Metrics and Valuation - Binjiang Group's land reserve quality is high, with low impairment risk and fast sales turnover. The internal rate of return (IRR) on projects is expected to exceed the cost of capital, resulting in a good return on capital. Therefore, a 1x PB valuation is justified, with historical valuations reaching 1.2-1.3x PB in the past two years [4][10]. - The company is projected to have an absolute return potential of 20%-30% in 2025, corresponding to a 1.2-1.3x PB valuation. The high sales absorption rate, particularly for non-price-restricted projects, is expected to reach 80%-90%, with project IRR anticipated at 10%-12%. If housing prices in Hangzhou stabilize, the valuation could exceed 1.2x PB [4][11]. Future Outlook - Market awareness of Binjiang Group is currently low, but as Hangzhou's fundamentals gradually recover, the company's stock price is expected to reflect this in the latter half of the year. Particularly towards the end of the year, with improved sales performance, the path for valuation recovery will become clearer. Therefore, Binjiang Group is considered a significant investment target and is recommended as a key stock for 2026 [2][12].
