0925 GMT - China Vanke's still-sizable funding gap casts uncertainty over the developer's near-term liquidity outlook, DBS says in a research note. That is even as Shenzhen Metro, the Chinese company's largest shareholder, plans to offer it an additional 6.25 billion yuan loan. Vanke is also entering a repayment peak in 2H, with debt maturing. DBS says the gap has to be covered by asset disposals, refinancing or further support from Shenzhen Metro. Meanwhile, the developer's overall fundamentals remain challenged, as its current presales level is still far from the estimated break-even point, it adds. DBS maintains a sell rating on Vanke's A and H shares and is reviewing the target prices. The developer's Hong Kong-listed stock last ended at HK$5.09. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
