发布时间:2026-05-12 来源:华泰证券
On 27 April,Binjiang Real Estate(Binjiang)released its 1Q26 results,achieving revenue of RMB12.49bn in 1Q26,down 45%YoY and attributable NP of RMB810mn,down 17%YoY.In 1Q26,the company's revenue recognition scale was fairly limited,with sales,land acquisition,and financing performance being relatively subdued,as Binjiang steadily advanced towards its full-year sales target of RMB80bn.The company possesses profound advantages in Hangzhou,with relatively solid land reserve quality,which should put it among the first to benefit from acore city property market rebound,even as Binjiang balances land acquisition intensity and financial robustness.Maintain BUY.
1Q26 revenue recognition limited,with GPM edging up YoY
In 1Q26,the company's revenue recognition scale was limited,with revenue down 45%YoY,while gross margin edged up 0.1pp YoY to 11.0%.The decline in attributable NP was less steep than that of revenue,mainly due to:1)a higher number of deliveries from non-consolidated joint development projects,driving investment income up by RMB440mn YoY to RMB540mn;2)the effective income tax rate in 1Q25 being temporarily raised to 38%,before normalizing to 24%in 1Q26.As the company's sales amount contracted in 2024-2025,we expect its revenue scale in 2026-2027 to be constrained,though gross margin should remain stable(reflecting relatively moderate land auction competition in 2023-2024).Moreover,as the property market gradually bottoms out,with core cities represented by Hangzhou taking the lead in the recovery,Binjiang’s asset impairment losses should,in our view,sequentially narrow,thereby driving attributable NP back to positive YoY growth.
Muted 1Q26 operating results
According to CRIC data,the company's contracted sales in 1Q26 fell by 35%YoY to RMB15.1bn.Per company announcements,Binjiang only added one new land plot in Huzhou in 1Q26,with atotal consideration of RMB500mn.However,it acquired two more land plots in Hangzhou in early April,with atotal consideration of RMB2.3bn.In addition,it newly issued RMB600mn of 2Y medium-term notes with an interest rate as low as 2.75%,setting anew historical low for medium-term notes of the same tenor.Looking ahead,Binjiang continues to abide by aprudent operating plan for 2026,including asales target of RMB80bn and astipulation that attributable land acquisition spending is not exceed 50%of cash collection from attributable sales.The focus of land acquisition is still Hangzhou,though quality projects in key cities within Zhejiang Province(such as Jinhua,Huzhou)and Shanghai are still being considered.Interest-bearing debt is to be further reduced,and financing cost will be brought below 2.9%.In our view,Binjiang is highly likely to achieve these operating targets.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
We maintain our attributable NP forecast for 2026/2027/2028 at RMB2,290/2,369/2,529mn,with 2026E BVPS of RMB10.14.Considering Binjiang’s relatively resilient earnings,solid land reserve quality,healthy financial leverage,and potential to become an early beneficiary of arecovery in core-city property markets,we value the stock at 1.15x 2026E PB,above its peers’average of 0.53x on Wind consensus,while maintaining our target price of RMB11.66
