Haidilao International's 2H Results Likely to Show Margin Squeeze -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-15

0955 GMT - Haidilao International is set to post a drop in net profit for 2H, as higher lamb and beef prices squeezed the hotpot restaurant chain's margins, CGS International analysts say in a note. They expect net profit to have fallen 4.7% on year, even with revenue up 2.9%. Table turnover rate--a key industry profitability metric--was likely flat as fewer diners offset a boost from improved product offerings and marketing campaigns. CGS International cuts its 2025-2027 EPS estimates for Haidilao by 8.3%-10% to reflect lower net-profit assumptions. The analysts cut the stock's target to HK$17.50 from HK$18.80, but reiterate an add rating on Haidilao's potential to improve table turnover rates. They expects this year's table turnover rate to rise 2.0% on improving services and product development. Shares closed at HK$15.64. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
