Daily focus：SF Holding (6936)
SF Holding released its December 2025 operating report. During the period, total revenue from express delivery, supply chain, and international business reached RMB 27.339 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3.41%. Core express delivery revenue was RMB 20.378 billion, up 3.78%. Although business volume recorded a 9.33% increase to 1.476 billion parcels, revenue per parcel decreased by 5.09% year-on-year to RMB 13.81. The data reflects that while the company expanded its business scale, prices were significantly pressured, showing a "volume increase, price decrease" trend, and revenue growth failed to fully keep pace with the increase in freight volume.
PBC Keeps LPR Unchanged, Market Awaits Policy Stimulus
US stock markets were closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and S&P 500 futures dipped slightly by 0.1% in quiet trading. The most closely watched market focus is the People's Bank of China's decision to keep the one-year and five-year loan prime rates (LPR) unchanged. While the market had previously anticipated further easing to stimulate the sluggish economy, the central bank's decision to postpone action reflects policymakers' cautious balance between maintaining exchange rate stability and promoting domestic growth. This suggests that the Chinese government may be more inclined to use fiscal measures rather than purely monetary policy to address the real estate crisis and insufficient consumption.
