房地产行业周度观点更新：股价与房价的三重关系-20260118

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the real estate industry is "Positive" and maintained [13]. Core Insights - The relationship between stock prices and housing prices is characterized by three dimensions, with a long-term alignment but uncertain short-term dynamics. Stock prices may lead housing prices or show significant divergence. In the long term, stock prices reflect EPS growth while housing prices reflect income or rental growth, both being results of economic fundamentals. In the short term, factors such as development stage, policy direction, and risk appetite create uncertainty in the relationship between stock and housing prices. The key to whether stock prices can lead housing prices in the short term lies in the ability to quickly shift drivers from risk appetite to economic fundamentals [3][10].
