Margins will remain under pressure in 2024-2025 due to high-cost projects acquired before 2022, while the restrained land acquisitions will also affect its sales performance and market position in the next 1-2 years.

S&P also expected the Company's liquidity to weaken as a result of decreasing operating capital flow and increased short-term maturities.

It believed that the company will continue to dispose its non-core assets, streamline its businesses, and maintain solid banking relationships to manage its cash flow.
