Shenzhen: Listed developers posting rising profits this year

Listed real estate firms in Shenzhen saw fast profit growth in the first half of the year, according to their latest financial results. More than 30 developers have released their semi-annual reports with the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges, most of which saw a faster growth rate. According to Fang Ling, an analyst with research firm China Real Estate Information Corp, the results were partly due to booming sales in the past two years, as revenues for real estate firms are often recognized when the houses are delivered. Unearned revenue, which is linked to a property developer’s future results, saw a notable increase among the listed companies, indicating growth potential.
