Large-Amount Impairments Led to Annual Loss
发布时间:2026-04-22 来源:华泰证券
BJ Urban Construction's 2025 revenue was RMB30.28bn (+19% YoY) and attributable net loss was RMB410mn (narrowing by RMB540mn YoY), in line with its profit alert. In 2025, booked sales, GPM, and stock investment profit all improved YoY. However, amid property market adjustments, asset impairments widened YoY, leading to an attributable net loss for the second consecutive year. In 2025, land acquisition intensity recovered significantly and the company focused on its home market (Beijing). We expect sales value to resume growth in 2026. The company is poised to benefit from the early recovery of Beijing and Shanghai property markets. Maintain BUY.
Large inventory impairments in 3Q/4Q led to an annual loss
For 2025, property completions by gross floor area (GFA) grew by 25% YoY, and large-scale sales recognition drove revenue up by 19% YoY. The key project Peking Mansion recorded a higher booked sales value (RMB10.2bn in 2025 vs RMB7.6bn in 2024). This, combined with concentrated sales recognition of high-quality projects acquired in 2022 such as Wenyuan Mansion, Xingyu BEIJING, and Royal Yanyuan, drove property development GPM up by 4.7pp YoY to 18.8%. In addition, the rising stock prices of Guosen Securities and Micro-Tech (Nanjing) contributed to a total of RMB1,160mn in gains from fair value changes and investment income (+RMB1,310mn YoY). However, as the property market remained in a bottoming phase, and home prices in Beijing pulled back in 2H25, the company charged large-amount provisions for asset impairment losses again in 4Q25 following 3Q25. For 2025, annual provisions were RMB3.4bn (+RMB660mn YoY). This caused the company to post an attributable net loss for the second consecutive year, although the loss has narrowed.
Earnings forecasts and valuation
As of end-2025, contract liabilities dropped by 55% YoY to RMB13.6bn. Given relatively limited resources pending settlement, we estimate the company's booked revenue over the next 1-2 years could rely more on the destocking of completed properties. Based on this, we lower our revenue forecasts. In addition, balancing the quality of land reserves and the property market's bottoming trend, we raise estimates for asset impairment losses, but still expect asset impairment losses to narrow compared with 2025. Overall, we cut our 2026/2027 attributable net profit forecasts by 62/40% to RMB315/516mn (previous: RMB840/857mn) and add our 2028 forecast of RMB642mn, with 2026E BVPS at RMB9.95. We value the stock at 0.60x 2026E PB, a discount to its peers' average of 0.66x on Wind consensus to factor in heavy inventory impairment pressure on earnings. Our target price is RMB5.97 (previous: RMB7.42, based on 0.65x 2026E PB).
Risks: local market risks in Beijing; progress in shantytown renovations and primary development projects trailing our expectations; earnings fluctuations caused by asset impairments, equity investments, and the share of minority interests.
