Shenzhen-based Evergrande Group, the world’s most valuable real estate company from 2018 to 2021, ran into financial trouble in mid-2021 due to high debt: as of 30 June 2021, the company had liabilities of 1.96 trillion renminbi (277 billion euros).
In September 2021, the rating agency Fitch lowered its long-term rating for Evergrande from CCC+ to CC due to high debt and the risk of imminent defaults.
The share price fell by 95% within five months as a result of the crisis. On 20 September 2021, the share price plunged again by up to 19% to its lowest level in over 11 years. The share price reached the lowest level since May 2010 at the equivalent of € 0.225.
The decline in Evergrande’s share price, combined with fears of a real estate bubble in China, also led to price losses on the stock exchanges in the United States, among others.
Risk Score spiked on 12 July 2021 as a result of a liquidity alarm.
Fitch downgraded Evergrande from CCC+ to CC, 2 months after the Risk Score spiked.
Defaults continue as Evergrande misses bond payments.
