0358 GMT - KE Holdings could face some business pressure in the near-to-medium term, Morningstar analyst Jeff Zhang says in a research note. The Chinese real-estate company is likely to experience a significant decline in home brokerage gross transaction value in 4Q due to a high base and subdued home-buying sentiment, he says, citing the company's remarks. Morningstar turns more cautious on its growth prospects and reduces 2025-2029 revenue forecasts by 3%-8%. Still, the company could find some support from an improvement in operating margin, which Zhang expects to rise to 7.6% in 2029 from 4.2% in 2024. Morningstar lowers the fair-value estimate on the stock to HK$42.90 from HK$44.20. Shares last traded at HK$43.36. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
