According to CRIC, the stocks-to-sales ratio decreased to 8.7 months in Feb. 2017, which means that stock levels are relatively low. As a result, the government's level of tolerance to soaring ASPs has decreased. We think that ASPs soaring, especially in the second-hand house market, triggered the recent round of policy tightening since Mar. 2017. These related policies have mainly involved an increase in minimum down payment, HPR upgrading and mortgage restrictions. Policy tightening could curb investment demand and delay rigid demand, thus cooling the property market. With high ASPs and low stock levels in tier-1, tier-2 and select tier-3 cities, policy tightening measures in these related cities will be maintained. On the other hand, lower-tier cities with high stock levels will be under a policy easing environment. ) Figure 3 : Stocks-to-Sales Ratios by City Tier During Jan.

Gross profit amounted to RMB15,935 mn, up 22.4% YoY. With more land appreciation tax paid, net profit increased 1.8% YoY to RMB9,153 mn, which missed our expectation. Underlying net profit increased 20.8% YoY to RMB658 mn, also missing our expectation riding on lower-than-expected total revenue. GPM increased 1.6 ppts YoY to 29.1%. Net profit margin declined 1.2 ppts YoY to 14.9%. Net gearing ratio rose slightly by 3.7 ppts YoY. Cash balance rose by 9.7% YoY to RMB18,940 mn.
