A similar decision was made by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange concerning Country Garden Real Estate, a subsidiary of the developer. Both entities are working to finalize the overdue report and aim to release it "as soon as practicable," the company stated.

Ongoing Financial Struggles The developer had already delayed its 2023 financial results in late August, citing the complexities of an ongoing debt restructuring process. Additionally, under Hong Kong Stock Exchange rules, the company was required to publish its fiscal 2024 first-half earnings by the end of August but has yet to do so.

Default and Liquidation Challenges Once the largest property developer in China, Country Garden defaulted on $11 billion in offshore bonds late last year. The company is also battling a liquidation petition in Hong Kong, with the next court hearing scheduled for January 20.

Trading of Country Garden shares, which has been suspended since April, will remain on hold, the company confirmed.

Industry Turmoil The delays and financial turmoil highlight the ongoing challenges faced by China’s property sector, as developers navigate tightening regulations and a sluggish market recovery. Country Garden’s predicament reflects broader structural issues within the industry, which continues to grapple with debt and liquidity crises.
