Group 2: Market Trends - The proportion of immediate delivery sales in China rose to 32.16% in early 2025, up from 26.97% in 2024, marking a significant recovery from a low of 10.16% in 2020 [2][9]. - The increase in immediate delivery sales is largely attributed to a shift in buyer preferences due to market conditions, with many existing homes being sold as a result of unsold inventory rather than proactive choices by developers [12][16]. Group 3: Economic Implications - The transition to immediate delivery sales is expected to lengthen the cash flow cycle for projects, impacting profitability, particularly for high-end developments [15][17]. - The current market environment is characterized by a contraction phase, with policies focusing on optimizing existing inventory and enhancing quality in the housing sector [16][18].

However, ticket prices for routes to Thailand have decreased due to earthquake impacts, while Japan's route saw a drop in prices due to increased capacity but maintained high revenue. South Korea's route showed stable passenger load factors and ticket prices [1][3] - Spring Airlines is exploring a new pricing model where tickets are sold at lower prices in advance during peak seasons, gradually increasing prices to avoid last-minute price drops and enhance customer satisfaction, potentially becoming a common strategy for future peak seasons [1][5] - A new trend in cooperation between airlines and OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) is emerging, such as Eastern Airlines' app allowing the purchase of tickets from other airlines and providing flexible transfer services on the Beijing-Shanghai route, enhancing ticket purchasing convenience and operational efficiency [1][6] - Airlines are encouraged to strengthen cooperation to rationally allocate capacity and maintain reasonable ticket prices to combat losses from price competition during off-peak seasons. Despite concerns over demand, exchange rates, and oil prices, leisure demand remains stable [1][9] - Supply-side tensions in the aviation industry are attributed to delays in aircraft deliveries and maintenance capacity bottlenecks, with material shortages affecting effective supply. If demand remains strong, a price turning point is imminent [1][10] Real Estate Industry Insights - The real estate market in April showed rapid weakening, with both transaction volume and prices declining, particularly in the secondary housing market, where prices fell by 1.7% month-on-month. The market is expected to deteriorate further in the coming months due to declining visitor numbers and a lack of supportive policies [1][4][17] - Morgan Stanley has pushed back its forecast for the domestic residential market to bottom out until the second half of 2026 or early 2027, citing high tariff risks, weakened policy support, and deteriorating leading indicators [1][25] - The cancellation of the pre-sale system for real estate could slow developers' asset turnover rates, increase liquidity risks, and raise leverage ratios, negatively impacting the long-term stability of the real estate industry [1][13] - Recommendations for investors include focusing on high-quality state-owned developers like China Resources Land, which has a strong balance sheet and operational capabilities, and potential high dividend yield stocks like Jianfa International [1][19] Insurance Industry Insights - The insurance industry's liability side showed continued improvement in Q2, with a shift towards participating insurance products.

Investment Rating - The investment rating for the real estate industry is "Outperform the Market" (maintained) [2][18]. Core Viewpoints - The recent policy changes in Xinyang regarding the sale of existing homes are expected to significantly impact the industry, particularly by reducing the return on invested capital (ROIC) for real estate companies [3][10]. - The shift from a pre-sale to a current sale model will reshape the business model of the industry from a "balance sheet business" to a "profit and loss statement business" [10][13]. - While short-term adjustments are anticipated due to the policy changes, the long-term outlook remains optimistic as the industry transitions to a more sustainable financial model [13]. Summary by Sections Policy Changes - On May 13, Xinyang's housing authority announced measures to strengthen the management of pre-sale housing, including that new projects can only be sold after the main structure is completed, and all new land acquisitions must be sold as existing homes [3]. Financial Impact - The introduction of the current sale system is expected to lead to a significant decline in ROIC, from 12.4% to 2.9%, indicating a reduced attractiveness of the real estate business [7][9]. - The analysis suggests that if pre-sales are eliminated, companies will face either a contraction in their balance sheets or increased interest expenses, leading to a longer investment recovery period and a significant drop in internal rate of return (IRR) [4][9]. Long-term Outlook - The long-term effects of the current sale system will likely result in an increase in the required profit margins for land acquisitions, as companies can no longer rely on quick turnover to maintain high ROIC [10]. - The overall industry profit margins are expected to rise, leading to a shift towards a more stable financial structure characterized by moderate leverage and profitability [10][13]. Market Response - The report anticipates that the market will initially react negatively to the policy changes, but in the medium to long term, the transition to a current sale model will stabilize housing prices and improve the industry's valuation metrics [13][11].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the real estate industry, particularly focusing on the implementation of the "existing house sales" system and its implications for commercial real estate investment logic [1][2][3]. Key Points on Existing House Sales System - The existing house sales policy aims to reduce risks for real estate companies and protect buyers' rights, but its actual implementation has been limited due to market adjustments and financial pressures on developers. Only 15 land sales have included existing house sales clauses in 2023, significantly lower than the 250 from 2016-2022 [1][3]. - The policy's gradual implementation reflects the central government's focus on the changing supply-demand relationship in the real estate market and the risks associated with housing delivery [2][3]. - High-quality real estate companies are less affected by the policy due to their strong financing capabilities and inventory turnover abilities, allowing them to create premium products for faster sales and higher premiums [1][6]. Changes in Commercial Real Estate Investment Logic - The investment logic in commercial real estate has shifted significantly, characterized by: - **Diversified Market Demand**: The demand for commercial properties has become more varied, with different types of properties like shopping centers and offices showing different growth potentials [4]. - **Enhanced Operational Capabilities**: There is a growing emphasis on operational management and customer experience to achieve long-term stable returns [4][5]. - **Technological Empowerment**: The application of smart technologies in commercial real estate is increasing, improving operational efficiency and user experience [4][5]. - **Green Sustainable Development**: There is a trend towards green buildings, driven by environmental awareness and government policies, enhancing project attractiveness [5].

Despite a lackluster consumer market in 2024, there has been a noticeable improvement since Q4 [7][11]. - The supply side remains challenging, particularly in high-tier cities, where there may be an oversupply issue. Rental prices are under pressure, with a reported decline of 3.3% in 2024 [8][10].

There is a growing emphasis on value-for-money and personalized consumer needs [9][10]. - The rental market is facing challenges, with many operators adopting a strategy of sacrificing rental income for increased foot traffic [10]. Investment Opportunities in 2025 - The commercial real estate sector is viewed as having significant investment opportunities in 2025, supported by consumer policies and the relative undervaluation of assets. Recommended companies include China Resources, Longfor, and New City Holdings [23][24]. Conclusion - The conference call highlights the evolving landscape of the real estate industry, emphasizing the need for adaptability among operators and the potential for growth in commercial real estate, particularly in the context of changing consumer behaviors and market dynamics [1][24].
