Evergrande's inability to release its financials and subsequent suspension in trading is becoming a recurring theme among Chinese developers. Kaisa has also announced that it will not release its annual results on time and faces trading suspension as of 1 April. And it's not alone.
As of Monday, nine property developers have yet to announce the dates of their FY2021 board meetings, Nomura noted.
The likelihood of more developers being unable to release their results on time is rising, Nomura said, considering that listed firms need to announce their board meeting dates at least seven working days prior to their actual results dates – which are set to be 31 March by the latest.
This is happening despite Beijing’s recent efforts prop up the real estate sector.
The Chinese real estate bubble is deflating and Beijing is proving unable to stop it. Wealth destruction awaits.
If it looks bad despite CCP support and censorship... The lack of freedom of speech and social trust in China are clear signs of that the empire has passed best-before-date (I just watched Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order by Ray Dalio).
China has never enjoyed freedom of speech, and trust issues have been an economic millstone around Beijing’s neck--one reason China’s domestic consumer markets have lagged is because Chinese producers have historically preferred American law and American courts over their own; thus, there is a preference for export over domestic markets. Like so much of China’s command economy, Beijing has to coerce economic shifts that are organic and evolutionary in western economies.
And time and again we see the limits of Beijing’s power: their stock market indices are all significantly down on the year, indicating growing negative investor sentiment even among domestic investors.
