Investment advice

In March, the downward trend of housing loan interest rate was significant. According to the data released by the shell Research Institute, the loan interest rates of the first and second homes in 103 key cities in March 2022 were 5.34% and 5.60% respectively, down 13 and 15bp respectively month on month, the largest decline in a single month since 2019; The average lending cycle is 34 days, which is 4 days shorter than that of the previous month. In addition, this week, Harbin cancelled the “sales restriction” policy implemented for nearly four years (the regulation issued in May 18 that all newly purchased commercial houses within six districts of the main urban area can be listed and traded only after three years from the date of signing the commercial house online signing contract). We believe that this adjustment may mean that the current policy relaxation has entered a new stage, that is, from the relaxation of financial policy to the relaxation of the “five limits”, which can be used as a reference for other cities, or more local governments will amend or abolish policies that are inappropriate and do not meet the current market situation according to their own actual situation. From the perspective of sector investment, we believe that the alternation of the first and second quarters is still a good allocation window period, and the expectation of policy improvement is still strengthened. It is suggested to continue to pay attention to the opportunities of the real estate sector. We suggest paying attention to four main lines: 1) leading real estate enterprises with low credit risk, smooth financing channels and high security: Poly Developments And Holdings Group Co.Ltd(600048) , Gemdale Corporation(600383) , China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co.Ltd(001979) , China Vanke Co.Ltd(000002) , Longhu group and China Resources Land. 2) Regional central state-owned enterprises or regional leading private enterprises with high financial report security and stable cash flow: China Construction Development International, Yuexiu real estate, Midea real estate, Hangzhou Binjiang Real Estate Group Co.Ltd(002244) . 3) Under the influence of macro and industrial policies such as interest rate reduction, elastic real estate enterprises with large marginal income: Xuhui holding group, Seazen Holdings Co.Ltd(601155) , Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) . 4) At present, the real estate post cycle property sector with strong income determination and accelerated concentration, as well as the recent credit risk mitigation of related real estate enterprises and elastic reversal: Country Garden service, Xuhui Yongsheng life, poly property, Zhonghai property and xinchengyue service.
