    Sunac China Holdings (SEHK:1918) has issued unaudited earnings guidance for 2025, indicating an expected loss of RMB 12.0 billion to RMB 13.0 billion, compared with a loss of about RMB 25.70 billion in 2024.

    See our latest analysis for Sunac China Holdings.

    The updated 2025 guidance comes after a difficult stretch for shareholders, with a 1-year total shareholder return decline of 29.09% and a 5-year total shareholder return decline of 96.08%. The latest HK$1.17 share price reflects weaker recent share price returns and an ongoing focus on balance sheet repair.

    With the share price near analysts’ target and a large stated intrinsic discount, plus ongoing losses and balance sheet repair, you have to ask: is Sunac now trading below its underlying value, or is the market already pricing in any recovery?

    Preferred Price-to-Sales Multiple of 0.3x: Is It Justified?

    On our numbers, Sunac China Holdings trades on a P/S of 0.3x at the HK$1.17 share price, which screens as expensive against its direct peer group but lower than the wider Hong Kong real estate sector.

    The P/S ratio compares the company’s market value to its revenue and is often used when earnings are negative, as is the case here. For a business generating CN¥59,727.18m in revenue and reporting a loss of CN¥23,546.67m, investors are effectively paying 0.3x sales for a company that is currently unprofitable. The key question is what level of future revenue and margins that price is implicitly baking in.

    Compared with close peers where the average P/S stands at 0.2x, Sunac’s 0.3x multiple looks richer, which implies the market is assigning a premium relative to that group. However, when set against the Hong Kong real estate industry average P/S of 0.6x, the same 0.3x looks conservative. Our fair P/S estimate of 0.4x sits between those two anchors and suggests the current level could move toward that mid point if the market’s view of the company’s revenue outlook and risk profile shifts.

    Result: Price-to-Sales of 0.3x (ABOUT RIGHT)

    However, you still need to weigh ongoing losses of CN¥23,546.67m and the long property downturn in China, which could keep pressure on sentiment and asset values.

    Another View: Our DCF Estimate Paints A Different Picture

    While the current 0.3x P/S suggests the share price is roughly in line with a mid range sales multiple, the SWS DCF model points in a different direction. At HK$1.17, Sunac China Holdings is trading around 79.2% below an estimated future cash flow value of HK$5.62, which frames the current price as heavily discounted if those cash flow assumptions hold up.
