Stock Track | Tsingtao Brewery's Earnings Poised for Growth Amid Beer Sales Recovery

Stock Track2024-09-02

Analysts at China Galaxy International predict that Tsingtao Brewery's sales and net profit could rise in the second half of 2024, driven by a gradual recovery in beer sales and lower barley costs. The Chinese brewer's beer consumption is expected to increase quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter due to hot weather and the reopening of night markets.

Tsingtao Brewery's net profit rose in the second quarter, benefiting from lower barley prices, a trend that analysts anticipate will continue in the second half of the year. However, the company's second-quarter sales missed analysts' estimates, raising concerns about weak topline growth.

While maintaining an "add" rating on Tsingtao Brewery's stock, analysts at China Galaxy International have lowered their target price to HK$60.00 from HK$65.00 to reflect the concerns surrounding weak sales growth. The stock was trading 4.3% lower at HK$43.25 at the time of the report.
