Longfor Group Holdings (SEHK:960) is back in focus after releasing operating results for the nine months to 30 September 2026, detailing contracted sales volumes and revenue from its property operation and service activities.

The share price slide at Longfor Group Holdings contrasts awkwardly with stable contracted sales and service revenue. Is the market marking down the business itself, or is it simply resetting sentiment around China property risk as the valuation shifts?
Valuation screens paint Longfor Group Holdings as inexpensive, with the stock trading on a P/S ratio of 0.4x compared with an estimated fair P/S level of 0.5x and a Hong Kong real estate sector average of 0.6x.
The P/S yardstick compares the company’s market value with its HK$78,353.551m of revenue and is often used when earnings are weak or loss making, as is the case here. For Longfor Group Holdings, that low multiple effectively means investors are paying less for each dollar of reported sales while still taking on the risks attached to a China focused developer and operator.
Relative to peers on a 0.6x industry P/S and a 1.3x peer average, the 0.4x tag looks compressed. The gap to the estimated fair P/S of 0.5x is also clear, which indicates that the market is heavily discounting the quality and durability of those revenues and may only move closer to that fair level if profit forecasts, funding quality or sentiment toward the sector shift meaningfully.

Still, the annual revenue decline and reported net loss of CN¥232.582m leave Longfor Group Holdings exposed if China property demand or funding conditions weaken further.
