0356 GMT - Distressed Chinese developers are moving closer to a reset following progress in restructuring, according to HSBC analysts. They think the balance sheets and liquidity situations of defaulted developers such as Agile, Country Garden and Shimao will improve materially once their debt restructurings are completed. However, the companies' shares risk dilution due to their mandatory convertible bonds, they note. These distressed developers are now focused on recapitalizing and monetizing inventory, as the peak of housing delivery obligations has passed, the analysts say. Meanwhile, China's leading developers are positioned to monetize their land banks upon launching their high-end projects acquired earlier this year, they add. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
