JPMorgan has released a report indicating that Hong Kong-listed Chinese developers surged by 7% yesterday (26th).

The broker attributed this increase to several factors: (1) funds chasing lagging sectors; (2) short covering ahead of potential new policies at next week's NPC as a "just in case" measure; (3) the high-beta nature of Chinese developers amid a broad market rebound; (4) increasing signs of stable real estate sales; and (5) expectations of positive YoY growth (partially due to a low base) in sales data from the top 100 Chinese developers to be released on Friday (February 28).

However, while Hong Kong-listed Chinese developers have snowballed by 18% YTD, A-share real estate stocks have remained almost flat, indicating that the sturdy stock performance has been more beta-driven rather than sector-specific.

Factoring in valuations, JPMorgan preferred state-owned enterprises including CHINA RES LAND (01109.HK), CHINA OVERSEAS (00688.HK), and POLY PPT SER (06049.HK). Among private-owned enterprises, LONGFOR GROUP (00960.HK), as a relatively lagging player, may have more upside potential in the near term.
