Country Garden (COGARD) saw a moderation in the drop of its contracted sales for October. Sales fell 31% to RMB 4.3bn ($610mn), as compared to a 41% drop in September. Additionally, its October sales were 20% higher than in September, reflecting signs of stabilization. This improvement follows a series of measures introduced by China in September to boost the economy and property market, such as reducing borrowing costs and relaxing property purchase restrictions. The developer has been struggling with liquidity issues and is working on a debt restructuring plan after defaulting on its dollar debt in 2023. It is currently in discussions with creditors but recently missed its self-imposed deadline for securing their support for the restructuring terms. A court hearing regarding the company’s liquidation was recently postponed until January. Despite the sales uptick, COGARD still lags behind its competitors. In October, sales from the 100 largest real estate companies in China rose 7.1% YoY , reversing a steep 37.7% decline in September.
COGARD’s dollar bonds traded stable at 9-10 cents on the dollar.
