S&P Sees Lower Revenue Growth for Haidilao International Holding Amid Weak Catering Market

MT Newswires Live09-02

S&P estimates lower revenue growth for Haidilao International Holding (HKG:6862) in the upcoming periods, adding that the hot pot chain's capacity to retain and expand table turnover will be key for further revenue increase.

Revenue growth will weaken in H2 following a 13.8% year-over-year rise in H1, with S&P revising its forecast for the metric to 9% in 2024 and 4% in 2025 from the previous 12% and 8%.

The company faces softness in China's catering market, with customers exhibiting lower spending per meal and a preference for cheaper eating options, S&P said in a Friday note.

The rating agency does not expect the trends to impact Haidilao's credit profile as it is expected to sustain its table turnover and temper its store growth.
