Investment advice
Since April, we can clearly see that the cities with the introduction of real estate policies have gradually expanded from third and fourth tier cities to weak second tier provincial capitals, and the adjustment efforts have been increasing, from the relaxation of credit, house purchase subsidies, provident fund loan preferences to the relaxation of the “four restrictions”.
This week, Lanzhou lowered the down payment ratio to 20%. According to our statistics, at least 14 cities have successively reduced the proportion of down payment. We believe that the number of cities with subsequent reduction of the proportion of down payment will continue to increase. Chongqing banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission proposed to reasonably determine the first housing mortgage loan standard for new citizens who meet the purchase conditions, reduce the purchase credit cost with the characteristics of “deposit before loan” and “constant low interest”, and accurately meet the financing needs of new citizens for medium and long-term purchase. We believe that the new deal of Chongqing, a strong second tier city, has certain signal significance. It is expected that more high-energy cities will follow up the subsequent adjustment of the approved standards of new citizens and house purchase preferences. On the whole, however, in terms of the depth of policy adjustment, the follow-up of high-energy cities is slightly insufficient. We think we can focus on whether the market downturn reflected in the data released by the Bureau of statistics in mid April is in line with expectations. We are optimistic that the scope and strength of the follow-up real estate policies will continue to be strengthened. It is suggested to pay attention to the policy follow-up of some strong second tier cities, such as Chengdu, Xiamen, Wuhan and Hangzhou. From the perspective of sector investment, we believe that April is still a good configuration window period, and it is recommended 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.
