0754 GMT - China Tourism Group Duty Free may see a gradual improvement in its net profit this year with international and domestic travel driving revenue growth and supporting margin expansion, says CCB International. The relaxation of the downtown duty-free policy in China will also be a near-term catalyst for the stock, analyst Anita Chu writes in a research note. However, Chu notes that it may take time for the new company management to execute their long-term business strategy and rebuild investors' trust. CCB keeps an outperform rating but raises its A-shares target to CNY99.00 from CNY71.72, and H-shares target to HK$94.00 from HK$64.60. H shares last at HK$67.30; A shares closed at CNY71.93.
