China's real estate market continues to struggle, with sales down 36.6% in the first nine months of the year and new construction projects plummeting by 42% since 2019. Analysts predict stabilization by late 2025, but caution that significant government support is needed to address liquidity issues and unsold inventories, or the downturn could extend for another three years. Despite recent measures, property sales are expected to remain subdued, with projections indicating a drop to around 8 trillion yuan by 2025, less than half of 2021's levels.
UBS analysts warn that proposed steep tariffs by Trump on Chinese goods could significantly impact the earnings of retailers like Best Buy, Five Below, and Wayfair. If these companies absorb just 5% of the increased costs, Five Below could see a 15% earnings drop, Best Buy 26%, and Wayfair over 40%. However, historical trends suggest retailers often adapt, potentially mitigating the impact as the situation evolves.
