Investment Rating - The report highlights a "Buy" rating for seven selected stocks within the property value chain, indicating a positive outlook for these companies as they are well-positioned to benefit from recovering housing upgrade needs and building renovation demand [3][34]. Core Insights - The property value chain is expected to see a significant shift towards domestic demand, driven by potential policy support aimed at mitigating external uncertainties. This shift is projected to create a total addressable market (TAM) of Rmb5.7 trillion by 2035, representing a 70% increase compared to 2024 [3][34]. - The report anticipates an average 5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in topline revenue for the property value chain companies through 2035, with a notable improvement in profitability and dividend yields due to operational efficiencies and disciplined capital expenditures [5][34]. Summary by Sections Property Value Chain Stocks - The report identifies seven stocks (CRL, Yuhong, BNBM, Kinlong, Robam, KE, and Greentown Service) as beneficiaries of domestic stimulus, all rated as "Buy" [3][34][18]. Executive Summary - The property construction value chain, which constitutes approximately 30% of China's GDP, has faced challenges due to the downturn. However, potential policy support for domestic demand is expected to accelerate housing upgrades and boost secondary market transactions [29][34]. Implications for the Value Chain - The report outlines three main implications for the value chain: a decline in demand for building products, a consolidation of the developer industry, and a significant shift towards secondary market transactions, which are projected to account for 66% of total housing transactions by 2035 [31][32][51]. Housing Market Outlook - By 2035, housing demand is expected to be 40% below peak levels, with a significant portion coming from Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. The secondary market is projected to overtake the primary market in terms of transaction volume and value [42][51]. Renovation Demand - Renovation demand is anticipated to nearly double by 2035, contributing approximately 60% of total construction gross floor area (GFA), which will help offset the decline in new builds [54][36].
