Chinese Tea-Shop Operators Could Further Consolidate Next Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-16

0844 GMT - Chinese tea-shop operators are likely to further consolidate next year, say HSBC analysts Lina Yan and Yimin Wang in a note. Delivery subsidies have started to be phased out since September as China's delivery price war eases, they say. Sector leaders Mixue Group and Guming have superior unit economics over peers, which could fuel store expansion and allow them to offset the lack of delivery subsidies through menu tweaks, say the analysts. HSBC upgrades its rating on Mixue to buy from hold, and raises its target to HK$499.70 from HK$494.30. The bank retains a buy rating on Guming and lifts its target price to HK$36.60 from HK$34.30. Mixue closed 0.5% lower to HK$408.60, while Guming fell 2.2% to HK$24.30.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
