Meituan's Delayed Expansion of Keeta in Brazil Could Benefit Competitors -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
03/10

0933 GMT - The delayed expansion and layoffs at Meituan's international-facing brand in Rio de Janeiro aren't surprising and may benefit Didi and iFood, Citi analysts say in a note. The delay, which Keeta attributes to strong competitor exclusivity, could ease pressure on Didi's 2026 international Ebitda loss assumptions. Meanwhile, Keeta's food-delivery operations in Gulf countries remain resilient, with daily active users ticking higher. Citi says this could mean higher order volumes and gross merchandise value as consumers stay home amid conflict in the region. However, rider compensation and operational costs will likely rise due to heightened safety concerns, potentially leading to greater losses. Citi maintains a neutral rating and high-risk designation on Meituan, with the target price unchanged at HK$94.00. Shares closed at HK$79.10. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
