0650 GMT - Tsingtao Brewery's sales volume could recover slightly in 2H on low base effect and more stable weather conditions, DBS Group Research analysts write in a report. The Chinese brewer's sales volume declined 7.8% in 1H mainly due to the high base in 2Q 2023, unfavorable weather conditions, and weaker-than-expected consumer sentiment, they say. Based on its strong brand portfolio, the company is likely to sustain a low-single-digit average selling price growth in 2H, the analysts add. DBS has a buy rating on Tsingtao's H-shares and A-shares and a target price of HK$63.40 and CNY76.50, respectively. H-shares are last at HK$43.40 and A-shares at CNY57.56.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
