Shares in Country Garden Holdings were down by almost 10% in Hong Kong trade on Friday morning.
Country Garden “is expected to record a net loss ranging from approximately RMB45 billion [$6.24bn; £4.9bn] to RMB55 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2023,” the company said in an announcement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The expected loss compares to a $265m profit for the same time last year.
The firm also said it has set up a special task force, headed by its chairman Yang Huiyan, to find ways to turn the business around.
Earlier on Thursday, rating agency Moody’s downgraded the company’s rating, citing “heightened liquidity and refinancing risks”.
