Tsingtao Earnings: Sales Volume Growth Proves Disappointing; Cutting Fair Value Estimate by 3%
Narrow-moat Tsingtao Brewery's third-quarter 2024 revenue and net income trailed our estimates, mainly dragged by weak sales volume trend. Operating expenses ratio also increased, which further pressured net margin. We cut our 2024-28 revenue and net income estimates by 5%-7% due to lower sales volume assumptions, but our margins outlook remains unchanged. As a result, we reduce our fair value estimate to HKD 71 per H-share (CNY 65 per A-share) from HKD 73 (CNY 67). Our top pick in the sector remains Budweiser APAC, due to its stronger prospects in monetizing the long-term beer premiumization trend in China.
