China Tourism Group Duty Free Likely to Benefit From Robust Winter Sales -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-09

0714 GMT - China Tourism Group Duty Free will likely benefit from persistent strong sales on China's tropical Hainan island during the winter peak season, say Citi analysts in a note. The Chinese travel retailer's Hainan duty-free sales have trended stronger than expected since 4Q thanks to factors including Hainan's new duty-free policies and the company's promotion campaigns, they note. Given the positive factors, they expect the company's Hainan business to grow 20% in 2026. Citi raises the company's 2026 and 2027 earnings projections by 5.0% and 6.6%, respectively. The bank also lifts its target prices on the company's A-shares to CNY106.00 from CNY78.00, and on its H-shares to HK$100.00 from HK$72.00. Shanghai-listed shares rise 2.9% to CNY95.65, while Hong Kong-listed shares gain 4.5% to HK$84.65. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
