Losses Remain Heavy At Around C¥10b Per Half

• Across the last three halves, net income losses were C¥9.1b in 1H 2024, C¥19.4b in 2H 2024 and C¥10.0b in 1H 2025, so the business has been running with multi billion yuan losses in each period rather than just a one off setback.
• Critics highlight a bearish case built around this pattern, and the numbers back up that concern in several ways:
  • Over the trailing twelve months, the company recorded a C¥29.4b net loss and a basic EPS loss of C¥4.20, which lines up with the view that profitability has been under pressure for several years.
  • Losses have grown at about 41.3% per year over the past five years, which is consistent with a bearish focus on earnings deterioration rather than stabilization.

Revenue Base Above C¥9b, Margins Still Deep In The Red

• The trailing twelve month revenue sits at C¥9.8b, yet that revenue base has been paired with a C¥29.4b net loss, so each yuan of sales has been associated with sizeable losses rather than profit.
• Bears argue that this combination of meaningful revenue and heavy losses points to weak economics, and the reported figures give that argument some support but also raise questions:
  • In 2H 2024, revenue of C¥6.1b came with a C¥19.4b loss, while in 1H 2025 revenue of C¥3.7b came with a C¥10.0b loss, so the relationship between sales and losses has stayed negative across different halves.
  • At the same time, the EPS loss moved from C¥2.77 in 2H 2024 to C¥1.43 in 1H 2025, which shows that while the company is still unprofitable, the per share loss in the latest half was smaller than in the immediately prior half.

Deep Discount To C¥0.73 DCF Fair Value With Balance Sheet Risks

• The current share price of HK$0.091 sits well below the DCF fair value estimate of HK$0.73 and the stock trades on a P/S of 0.1x versus a Hong Kong real estate industry reference point of 0.7x, signaling that the market is pricing Kaisa Group Holdings at a steep discount to its sales and to the stated cash flow estimate.
• What stands out for a bearish view is how this apparent discount sits alongside several financial pressure points:
  • Shareholders’ equity is negative and the company has materially diluted shareholders over the past year, which fits a cautious stance that low valuation multiples may be reflecting capital and solvency risk rather than a simple bargain.
  • Share price volatility over the past three months has been higher than the Hong Kong market, which is consistent with a bearish focus on riskier trading conditions even at a low price level.
