CHINA OVERSEAS (00688) surged 5.35% during the intraday session on Monday, following a positive market opening.
The rally was primarily driven by the company's robust first-quarter operational results, which showed contract property sales reaching RMB 51.52 billion, representing an 11% year-over-year increase. Sales momentum was particularly strong in March, recording a 34.8% surge compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the company's board authorized a share buyback program for up to 10% of issued shares, aimed at enhancing shareholder returns and optimizing the capital structure.
Further bolstering investor confidence were the company's strategic land acquisitions, adding 130,000 square meters of attributable gross floor area. The positive movement also reflects a broader recovery within the real estate development sector, contributing to the stock's upward momentum.
