CGTN: How China's economy remains vibrant despite U.S. tariff war
BEIJING, July 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- With Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to hold economic and trade talks with the United States in Sweden later this month, the strength and resilience of the Chinese economy is in the limelight once again. This round of talks, mutually agreed upon by both nations, is not only a diplomatic engagement but also a testament to China's enduring economic vitality in a complex international environment. Recent statistics underscore the robustness of China's economy. In the first half of 2025, the GDP grew by an impressive 5.3 percent year on year, surpassing market expectations despite global headwinds. This number reflects more than temporary growth; it exhibits the structural resilience and adaptability of an economy that continues to evolve and upgrade. Domestic demand emerged as the cornerstone of growth, contributing 68.8 percent to GDP expansion in this period. Initiatives such as large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-in programs have effectively stimulated spending, cushioning China's economy from external shocks. In the first five months of 2025 alone, China's consumer goods trade-in program generated 1.1 trillion yuan ($153.1 billion) in sales, surpassing the figure for entire 2024. Boosted by the program, China's retail sales of consumer goods grew 5 percent year on year in the past six months – 0.4 percentage point faster than the growth recorded in the first quarter. While external uncertainties have introduced some pressure, China's trade diversification and the steady output of high-tech manufacturing and service industries have provided strong support to the economy. Though China's trade with some Western countries declined, its trade with Belt and Road partners, ASEAN countries, the European Union, and African nations saw respective increases of 4.7 percent, 9.6 percent, 3.5 percent, and 14.4 percent in the first half of 2025. This expansion of trade relationships has helped China reduce its reliance on any one market, lessening the impact of some Western economies' protectionist policies. China's resilience reverberates beyond its borders. As a crucial driver of global growth, China's steady economic performance boosts international market confidence and provides a stabilizing influence amid global uncertainties. Through continued focus on quality growth and opening up, China offers the international community a reliable engine for shared prosperity. A recent report from the U.S.-China Business Council indicates that 82 percent of American companies operating in China turned a profit in 2024. Though many cited the uncertainties in China-U.S. relations and tariffs as their main worry, the Chinese market continues to be crucial for them. Trade tensions pose obstacles, yet they have not crippled the resilience in the Chinese economy. The upcoming Beijing-Washington talks in Sweden demonstrate China's willingness to tackle differences via negotiations. While obstacles remain, China's ability to sustain growth, adapt to changing global landscapes, and engage constructively with international partners signals a future of shared opportunities and mutual advancement.

These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Gaming And Leisure Properties (NASDAQ:GLPI), a real estate investment trust specializing in gaming properties, reported Q2 2025 results on July 25, 2025. The most notable headline from the release was the company's record-high non-GAAP earnings per share, which beat analyst expectations in Q2 2025. AFFO per share reached $0.96. However, the period also saw a significant year-over-year drop in GAAP net income, with net income per share falling to $0.54 compared to the prior-year $0.77. Revenue for the quarter was $394.9 million, coming in just below the consensus GAAP revenue estimate of $397.0 million, a 3.8% increase compared to Q2 2024. In summary, the quarter showcased robust cash flow and leasing growth, but also highlighted rising credit loss provisions and softness in headline net income. Metric Q2 2025 Q2 2025 Estimate Q2 2024 Y/Y Change EPS – Net income, per diluted common share $0.54 $0.75 $0.77 (29.9 %) Revenue $394.9 million $397.0 million $380.6 million 3.8 % AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units (Non-GAAP) $0.96 $0.94 2.1 % Adjusted EBITDA $361.5 million $340.4 million 6.2 % Net income $156.2 million $214.4 million (27.2 %) Source: Analyst estimates provided by FactSet. Management expectations based on management's guidance, as provided in Q1 2025 earnings report. Business Overview and Key Focus Areas Gaming And Leisure Properties is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and leases out casino properties across the United States. Its business model centers on acquiring gaming-related real estate and leasing these properties to leading gaming operators through long-term, triple-net leases. In these leases, tenants handle property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, which supports predictable cash flow for the company. The company's recent strategy has concentrated on portfolio diversification, both geographically and by operator, as well as disciplined capital deployment through development funding and sale-leaseback transactions. Key factors for success are stable lease structures, strong tenant rent coverage, ongoing property development, and full occupancy. Effective management of variable-rate debt and adherence to REIT tax rules are also critical. Quarter in Review: Financial and Operational Highlights AFFO per diluted share and OP/LTIP units (non-GAAP) reached a new high at $0.96, up 2.1% from the previous year and Non-GAAP EPS was above analyst expectations. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure frequently used by REITs to track core cash flows, important for assessing dividend strength. Adjusted EBITDA, another key performance indicator measuring recurring earnings before noncash charges and interest expenses, also set a record at $361.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA was $361.5 million, up 6.2% compared to Q2 2024. While revenue (GAAP) climbed 3.8% year over year, net income saw a sharp decline. Net income (GAAP) fell to $156.2 million, a 27.2% decrease compared to Q2 2024, and net income per diluted share (GAAP) dropped to $0.54. This drop reflected higher non-cash provisions for credit losses: $53.7 million compared to a net benefit in Q2 2024. According to company management, these credit reserves arose from a 'more pessimistic forward-looking economic forecast' in Q1 2025. The lease portfolio and rent coverage ratios remained a focus for stability. Gaming and Leisure Properties holds 68 facilities in 20 states as of June 30, 2025 and has leased them to eight different operating partners, such as PENN, Bally's, Caesars, and Boyd. For the period, occupancy was 100% as of December 31, 2024. Lease structures commonly feature annual escalators. Recent master lease coverage ratios remained solid, though the Pinnacle Master Lease at 1.69x as of March 31, 2025, edged closer to escalation thresholds set in the agreements. On the development side, the company advanced several sale-leaseback and funding projects. These included continuing funding toward new ventures like Bally's Chicago casino, with project oversight ongoing due to construction complexity. Funding also supported the Ione Band tribal gaming project and the landside redevelopment at Bally's Belle of Baton Rouge. As of June 30, 2025, the company listed over $740 million in growth commitments not yet fully drawn. The Hollywood Casino Joliet move, with $130 million in funding at a 7.75% cap rate, remained on schedule for an August 2025 opening. Competition in the gaming REIT sector stayed strong, with larger rivals, such as VICI Properties, positioned to influence future deal flow and acquisition pricing. Management reported 'renewed interest' from potential partners, as volatility in capital markets increased counterparty engagement in deal discussions. In terms of risk management, the company remained vigilant regarding ongoing state-level gaming and iGaming legislative developments. Management emphasized the importance of bricks-and-mortar operations for rent stability and was 'hard against iGaming.' Financially, the company's capital structure remained robust. Net debt to EBITDA was reported at 4.7x, within the company's comfort range in Q1 2025. Significant transactions included a $404.0 million forward equity sale in Q2 2025 and the start of a $1.25 billion at-the-market equity offering program to provide liquidity. Debt maturities are well staggered, averaging 6.1 years with a weighted average interest rate of 5.064% as of June 30, 2025. Dividend management is a key part of the company's REIT obligations. The annualized dividend climbed to $3.12 per share, a 2.6% increase from $3.04 in Q2 2024, maintaining a payout yield of 6.7% at period end. Outlook and What to Watch For fiscal 2025, management updated Adjusted Funds from Operations (non-GAAP) guidance to a range of $1.112 billion to $1.118 billion, or $3.85 to $3.87 per diluted share and OP/LTIP units. This range represents a slight increase at the low end of previous AFFO guidance. The forecast factors in anticipated funding for major projects, including Hollywood Casino Joliet and second-half 2025 development commitments totaling $338 million. Management noted that AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations, a non-GAAP metric) at the lower end of this full-year guidance would assume no escalations on variable-rate master leases and a meaningful rise in variable interest rates. No other significant changes to fiscal year guidance were given, and management made it clear that future acquisitions or other major deals are not included in the AFFO forecast. Leadership remains focused on measured capital allocation and solid underwriting, carefully monitoring tenant performance and rent coverage ratios as economic conditions develop. Dividend growth and the stability of rental cash flows, through escalated lease terms and diversification, are expected to remain central priorities.
