By the market close, the stock had advanced 4.92% to reach HK$8.10, with a trading turnover of HK$26.67 million.

The company recently held its annual general meeting for the 2025 fiscal year and announced an upward revision to its performance forecast for 2026.

It raised its projected annual revenue growth rate from 10% to 15% and increased its anticipated adjusted net profit from 600 million yuan to 800 million yuan.

Analysts have noted that this upward revision in guidance validates the commercial viability of the company's strategic business model.

In a related industry development, Kweichow Moutai Co.,Ltd. announced its second price increase of the year on July 17th.

Market observers suggest that this move by the leading distiller could signal an upward shift in the industry's pricing ceiling.

This development is seen as potentially alleviating broader pricing pressures across the sector.

While the price adjustment may not stem from a demand recovery, it is interpreted as reflecting underlying demand resilience.

This factor could help mitigate investor concerns regarding soft demand within the food and beverage segment and may contribute to a potential revaluation of companies in this space.
