China Vanke posts first-quarter loss amid slump in property sector
By Kimberley Kao
China Vanke (HK:2202) posted a first-quarter loss as earnings were weighed by the ongoing slump in China's property sector.
The company, one of China's largest property developers, late Monday announced a net loss of 361.97 million yuan ($50 million) for the first three months of the year. That compared with a net profit of CNY1.46 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Revenue fell 10% on year to CNY61.59 billion. Cash and cash equivalents fell 41% on year to CNY80.82 billion.
The Shenzhen-based company said the "domestic commercial housing market continued to be under pressure" in the first quarter of the year, leading to a slide in sales.
Its Hong-Kong listed shares fell 5.7% to 4.67 Hong Kong dollars (US$0.60) in early trade Tuesday.
