China Tourism Group Duty Free's 2H Earnings Likely to Grow -- Market Talk

Dow Jones09-03

0828 GMT - China Tourism Group Duty Free's sales and net profit are likely to grow 2H despite sluggish sales in Hainan in 1H, China Galaxy International analysts write in a note. Hainan, a popular tourist destination, is a key market in the duty-free space. CTGDF earnings will likely be supported by the quick recovery of its airport segment, they say. The company said airport channel duty-free sales rose over 100% on year in 1H and expects that momentum to continue in 2H, the analysts add. However, the brokerage trims 2024-2026 EPS forecasts for CTGDF by 5.1%-5.4% to reflect the weak sales in Hainan. It cuts the stock's target to CNY68.00 from CNY70.00 and retains a hold rating. Shares closed at CNY59.14.( amanda.lee@wsj.com)
