What Red Star Macalline does

Operates China's largest network of home-furnishing and building-materials malls, leasing space to furniture and decor retailers.

Earns rent and management fees from furniture and building-material brands that lease booths in its malls, plus fees for running malls owned by others under its name, so tenant occupancy and what brands can afford to pay drive revenue. A housing slowdown reduces furniture spending and pressures tenants.

In one line: A Chinese IKEA-mall-landlord / Home Depot-mall hybrid.
