Country Garden shares fell as much as 14 percent during Hong Kong trading hours, adding to a difficult week in which the stock has fallen 31 percent.

The profit was RMB 1.91 billion. It would be the company’s first interim loss since it listed in Hong Kong 16 years ago.
The developer said: “The expected net loss is mainly due to the impact of the decline in sales in the real estate industry, resulting in a decrease in the carryover gross profit margin of the real estate business, an increase in the impairment of property projects; and the expected net exchange loss caused by foreign exchange fluctuations.”
Country Garden’s troubles have raised fresh concerns regarding China’s debt-ridden real estate sector, as well as fears that the broader market might be rippling.
