Core Viewpoint - Shenzhen Metro Group, once known as the "profit king" of China's urban rail transit, reported a staggering loss of 33.46 billion yuan in 2024, marking a significant turnaround from its previous five years of profitability [1][4][6]. Group 1: Financial Performance - The loss of 33.46 billion yuan in 2024 equates to 10.46% of the company's net assets at the end of the previous year, representing a daily loss of approximately 91.78 million yuan [1][4]. - Over the past five years, Shenzhen Metro Group accumulated a profit of 27.3 billion yuan, which was entirely wiped out in one year, alongside an additional 6 billion yuan loss [4][6]. - The company's asset-liability ratio surged, with interest-bearing debt exceeding 400 billion yuan, indicating a severe financial strain [6][17].

Group 3: Industry Overview - The overall performance of urban rail systems in China is declining, with 29 cities reporting losses in 2023, highlighting a systemic issue within the industry [21][22]. - The public service nature of metro systems limits pricing flexibility, necessitating government subsidies, which are becoming increasingly difficult to secure due to local fiscal constraints [22][23]. - Shenzhen Metro's experience reflects broader challenges in the industry, where reliance on real estate for funding is no longer sustainable, necessitating a shift towards diversified revenue streams [23][24].
