Shares of China Overseas Land and Development Ltd., a leading Chinese property developer, surged 7.52% on Wednesday amid rising investor optimism over potential government measures to aid the struggling real estate industry.
The property sector in China has been grappling with a prolonged slump, as debt-ridden developers face liquidity woes and weak homebuyer sentiment. However, market expectations of imminent policy support from Beijing provided a boost to developer stocks like China Overseas Land.
Investor enthusiasm was fueled by anticipation ahead of a housing ministry press conference scheduled for Thursday. Analysts believe Beijing could unveil fresh stimulus measures to stabilize the real estate market, a crucial component of China's economy. Any supportive policies would provide much-needed relief to cash-strapped developers and potentially revive homebuyer confidence.
