Kweichow Moutai Shares Look Slightly Undervalued -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-12

0345 GMT - Kweichow Moutai's shares are slightly undervalued, says Jennifer Song, a senior equity analyst at Morningstar in a note. The Chinese liquor giant's decent 2Q results reaffirmed resilient demand for premium baijiu, despite still-sluggish consumer sentiment, the analyst says. Moutai's commitment to lift its regular dividend payout ratio to 75% through 2024-2026, from 52% over the past six years, also delivers a positive signal to the market, Song adds. "We believe Moutai's unique cultural status, unmatched brand image, and outstanding product quality, make it best-positioned to benefit from China's beverage premiumization trend over the mid- to long term," the analyst says. Morningstar maintains its fair value estimate of CNY1,780.00. Shares are last at CNY1,433.17.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
