Profit Plunges but Sales Stay Strong as Shekou Expands

First-half profit collapses on weak margins Shekou warned first-half 2026 net profit would fall 55-65%, then reported a 63.5% drop to 528 million yuan, with core profit down over 93%. Revenue rose but margins shrank, so the company keeps far less of each sale — a direct hit to earnings and investor confidence.
The profit collapse is the single biggest force pushing the stock down this period.
Contract sales stay solid through September July sales were 13.8 billion yuan and September 14.3 billion yuan, bringing January-September cumulative sales to 140.1 billion yuan. Buyers are still purchasing Shekou homes at a steady pace, which supports future cash flow and shows demand for its projects hasn't dried up.
Steady sales are the main positive counterweight to the weak profit picture.
Expands Beijing footprint with new unit Shekou set up a wholly owned Beijing real estate development company with 2 billion yuan registered capital. This signals the company is still investing and betting on future projects in a major city, rather than retrenching, which supports longer-term growth expectations.
New investment shows the company is still expanding despite weak profits.
Governance and cash concerns weigh on sentiment A Zhejiang general manager was removed over an alleged assault, hurting the company's reputation and raising governance worries. Separately, Shekou is lending up to 51 million yuan interest-free to an associate for eight years, tying up cash with no return — small but unhelpful.
These smaller negatives add reputational and financial drag on top of the profit slump.

JLL's leasing and capital markets rebound drive strong results and new growth

Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance JLL reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $5.26, up 59% and beating estimates, with revenue up 11% to $6.93 billion. Leasing and capital markets revenues surged, and management raised full-year EPS guidance to $24.60–$25.90. This directly boosts investor confidence and the stock price.
This is the core financial result that shows JLL's business is accelerating and profitability is rising.
Hong Kong office rents rebound, signaling recovery JLL reported Hong Kong Grade A office rents jumped 7.3% in the first half of 2026, the strongest in 15 years, with vacancy falling. JLL expects prime rents to rise up to 5% this year, ending a long decline. This supports JLL's leasing and advisory fees in Asia.
It shows a major office market turning around, which drives more leasing activity and fee income for JLL.
Capital markets deals and new debt platform expand fee streams JLL completed a $435 million Boston office tower sale, arranged $406 million in Dallas financing, and launched a new nontraded REIT focused on commercial real estate debt. These moves show JLL's capital markets business is active and diversifying, generating fees from large transactions and new investment products.
These deals and the new REIT highlight JLL's ability to earn fees from institutional capital and debt, a key growth area.
Tech leasing surge in NYC boosts office demand Tech tenants leased 1.1 million square feet in New York in Q3, overtaking legal, with AI driving about 60% of that activity, according to a JLL report. Falling Manhattan supply and rising demand support leasing volumes and rents, benefiting JLL's brokerage business.
It shows a key demand driver—AI—fueling office leasing, which directly increases JLL's transaction fees.
