CHINA VANKE's stock experienced a significant intraday decline of 5.20% on Friday. The sharp drop reflects heightened investor concern regarding the company's financial health and its strategy for managing obligations.
According to market reports, the property developer recently secured a loan of up to 2.36 billion yuan from its largest shareholder, Shenzhen Metro Group. This funding coincides with the approval of extension plans for two of the company's bonds, which require Vanke to immediately repay approximately 40% of their principal and interest, amounting to roughly 2.461 billion yuan. Market observers note that this suggests Vanke is utilizing shareholder loans to meet its debt repayments.
The situation raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of Vanke's operations. Analysts point out that if the company's core real estate business cannot return to profitability, even substantial support from its major shareholder may not be sufficient in the long term, leading to the current sell-off pressure in the stock.
