1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The GDP growth target of 5% in 2025 was successfully achieved, but the growth rate declined quarter - by - quarter. The macro - economic data in December continued to fall, and the recovery momentum remained weak. Consumption, fixed - asset investment, and the real estate market were sluggish, while exports showed resilience and inflation data improved [3]. - A rational and objective view of the current macro - economy is needed. The transformation, adjustment, and bottoming - out of the real estate market require time, and the domestic economic recovery cannot be achieved overnight. More active macro - policies should be implemented to expand domestic demand and optimize supply [4]. - In the future, "expanding domestic demand and combating cut - throat competition" will remain important long - term policy measures. The financial market is in a state of "weak reality, strong expectation", and the market sentiment is continuously improving. In 2026, the macro - economy and asset prices are expected to continue the upward repair trend, but patience is required [4]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Manufacturing PMI: A Slight Rebound but Still Weak - In December, the manufacturing PMI was 50.1%, up 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, entering the expansion range. Large - scale enterprises' PMI was 50.8%, up 1.5 percentage points; medium - sized enterprises' PMI was 49.8%, up 0.9 percentage points; small - sized enterprises' PMI was 48.6%, down 0.5 percentage points [6]. - Among the five sub - indices of the manufacturing PMI, the production index, new order index, and supplier delivery time index were above the critical point, while the raw material inventory index and employment index were below it. The production and new order indices increased, indicating accelerated production and improved market demand, but the employment index declined slightly [6]. - Overall, although the manufacturing PMI rebounded in December, the manufacturing sector was still weak, and the economic recovery momentum was insufficient [9]. 3.2 CPI and PPI: Inflation Continued to Improve - In December 2025, the national CPI rose 0.8% year - on - year and 0.2% month - on - month. Food and non - food prices both increased, and among the eight major categories of prices, five increased and two decreased year - on - year [10]. - The PPI decreased 1.9% year - on - year in December, with the decline narrowing by 0.3 percentage points, and increased 0.2% month - on - month, with the growth rate expanding by 0.1 percentage points. The anti - cut - throat competition policy has achieved continuous results, and the PPI year - on - year growth rate is expected to turn positive in 2026 [12][15]. 3.3 Import and Export: Maintaining Resilience - In December, China's imports denominated in US dollars increased 5.7% year - on - year, and exports increased 6.6% year - on - year, both exceeding expectations. The trade surplus was 1,141.4 billion US dollars [16]. - Since the second quarter, exports have been stronger than expected, showing strong resilience. The real risk for China's foreign trade lies in the potential economic recession in the US and the slowdown of global economic growth [18]. - In December, China's exports to regions other than the US maintained steady growth, and exports to ASEAN countries continued to replace those to the US [19]. 3.4 Credit: Weak Resident Credit Demand and Declining M1 Growth - At the end of 2025, the stock of social financing scale was 442.12 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 8.3%. The annual increment of social financing scale was 35.6 trillion yuan, 3.34 trillion yuan more than the previous year [20][21]. - In December, resident short - term and long - term loans both decreased significantly, indicating weak resident consumption and housing credit demand. Government bond issuance slowed down, M1 growth declined, but enterprise credit improved and M2 growth rebounded [24][25]. - Overall, the credit demand of the real economy was still weak, and the upward trend of M1 and M2 growth faced resistance [26]. 3.5 Industrial Production, Consumption, and Investment: Industrial Production Rebounded, while Consumption and Investment Growth Continued to Decline - In December 2025, the added value of large - scale industrial enterprises increased 5.2% year - on - year and 0.49% month - on - month. For the whole year of 2025, it increased 5.9% compared with the previous year [27]. - In December, the total retail sales of consumer goods increased 0.9% year - on - year. After excluding the impact of national subsidies, consumption in 2025 was weak, indicating insufficient domestic demand. Further consumption - promotion policies may be introduced in 2026 [27][28]. - In 2025, the national fixed - asset investment (excluding rural households) decreased 3.8% year - on - year. The growth rates of manufacturing investment, infrastructure investment, and real estate development investment all continued to decline [32]. 3.6 Real Estate Market: Continued Downtrend - In 2025, the sales area and sales volume of newly built commercial housing decreased by 8.7% and 12.6% respectively year - on - year.

The real estate development climate index continued to fall in December [35][36]. - The real estate market is currently at the bottom stage. With the decline of the base, the year - on - year decline of sales area and sales volume is gradually narrowing. The first half of 2026 is expected to be a critical period for the real estate market to stop falling and stabilize [38]. 3.7 Summary and Outlook - In December, the macro - economy was weak, with consumption, fixed - asset investment, and the real estate market remaining sluggish, while exports were resilient and inflation data improved [40]. - The main constraints on macro - economic recovery and asset price repair are insufficient domestic effective demand represented by real estate and consumption, and over - capacity in multiple industries. More policy support is needed [40]. - The financial market is in a state of "weak reality, strong expectation". In 2026, the macro - economy and asset prices are expected to continue the upward repair trend, but one should track policy implementation details and wait for positive macro - economic signals [40].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the real estate market in China, specifically focusing on the second-hand housing market in January 2026, highlighting trends in major cities and overall market dynamics. Key Points and Arguments - **Market Activity and Volume**: In early January 2026, the second-hand housing market saw a surprising increase in transaction volume, with 20 cities reporting a month-on-month growth of 7% and a year-on-year increase of approximately 30%, indicating higher market activity than expected [1][4] - **Price Trends**: Despite increased transaction volumes, prices have not stabilized, with a week-on-week decline of -0.19%. The market is showing signs of stabilization, but without significant policy intervention, prices are unlikely to rebound significantly [1][4][8] - **City-Specific Insights**: - **Shanghai**: The Iceberg Index indicates stabilization, but prices remain under pressure as landlords continue to lower listing prices, with a reduction in price adjustments by 20%-25% compared to normal [1][5] - **Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou**: These cities have also seen a narrowing of price declines, but overall price stability remains fragile [1][5] - **Second-Tier Cities**: Cities like Hangzhou are stabilizing, while others like Xi'an are experiencing increased declines. The performance of second-tier cities varies significantly as the market approaches the Lunar New Year [1][9] Additional Important Insights - **Impact of Policy**: The future trajectory of the market heavily depends on the introduction of large-scale stimulus policies. Without such measures, landlords may be at a disadvantage in negotiations, leading to potential further declines in prices [1][6] - **Comparative Analysis with Previous Years**: The transaction volume in January 2026 is notably higher than in previous years, contrasting with typical seasonal declines observed near the Lunar New Year. However, the first quarter of 2026 is expected to see a transaction volume decrease of 10%-20% compared to the same period in 2025 [3][10][11] - **Market Dynamics**: The low liquidity in third and fourth-tier cities results in slower price declines, with expected drops of around 10% compared to 15% in new first-tier cities. This is attributed to longer transaction cycles in lower-tier cities [12][13] - **Rental Yield and Price Relationship**: The relationship between rental yields and price declines is weak, with high rental yield areas not necessarily showing better price resilience. Overall, rental yield has limited influence on housing prices [15][16] - **Buyer Demographics**: Current buyers are characterized by increased purchasing power due to lower interest rates and reduced down payments, leading to a surge in second-hand housing transactions despite price declines [17] This summary encapsulates the key insights from the conference call, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of the real estate market in China as of January 2026.
