C&D picked up in June (SZ, HZ, etc.). 1H26 earnings risk—We expect down 35-40%yoy on high base in 1H25 (COLI: 68%of FY25 profits in 1H25, Jinmao: 77%, Yuexiu, Seazen, Poly). With margin pressurefrom inventory sales, we expect loss for Longfor & Poly Property. CRL’s recurringincome +8%yoy in 5M with est.

Tour takeaways: Changsha weak but not deteriorating; SZ is good—[1] Changsha:new land supply reduced to 1mn in 5M26 (vs 5.4msm GFA sold in 2025), a 20-year low.Secondary prices were stable at c.Rmb8k in Jan-Jun, not dropping more. With 22months of inventory (& 7 years incl. lands) we expect home price to stay at bottom fora prolonged 3+ years with stable volume. [2] Shenzhen: 100k units at secondary forsales but 50% are listed for more than a year (not a real seller). Sell-through for luxuryhome slows a bit but still strong, as some buyers flow into HK from Shenzhen.

Other takeaways: Physical market outlook by Mr. Ding Zuyu, Chairman of SH Proptech Innovations—Mr. Ding noted that physical market has yoy improved in 2026, but unlikely for arapidturnaround.He believes the market bottom to be anchored by pricestabilization in older/smaller secondary units, with the bottoming cycle likelyextending through 2026–2030E and led by core cities (SH/ CJ/ SZ/ GZ/ HZ/ CD, etc).He views the recent“little spring”rally peaked in late May, as project visits andsubscriptions moderated into June, likely due to (i) equity market weakness and (ii)demand pull-forward in Mar–May. He observed a“K-shaped”divergence, with high-end luxury and low-end older/smaller units outperforming mid-tier projects. Newhome sales growth is limited by reduced land supply so national is on decline.Secondary market is stable. After the emerging of “new standard” homes that havinghigher GFA efficiency, the pre-2H24 “old standard” projects are now the weakestsegment to destock. Mr. Ding does not expect any nationwide policy stimulus in2026 but sees big development on REIT market and urban renewals i
