CLSA expects anti-cutthroat competition policies to remain in place, with regulators enforcing price floors to curb excessive price wars. Given ZTO's superior customer structure, the brokerage anticipates a market share recovery in 2026 and has raised 2025–2026 net profit forecasts by 2%.
Zheshang Securities reported that ZTO handled 9.57 billion parcels in Q3 (+9.8% YoY), capturing 19.4% market share. Bulk parcel volume grew nearly 50% YoY, continuing to drive profitability.
