3 hours ago

0922 GMT - Meituan's food-delivery losses likely narrowed slightly in 4Q, CGS International's Lei Yang and Charlotte Zhou say in a note. They note management guidance for an annual net loss amid the subsidy war among Chinese food-delivery platforms. The analysts estimate that the company narrowed its 4Q instant delivery-related losses by nearly 25% on quarter and grew its quarterly revenue by 4.7% on year. CGS says the subsidy price war appears to have eased since November but expects it to persist this year. Government efforts to curb price wars will likely help moderate the competition, it adds. CGS downgrades Meituan to a hold rating from add and cuts its target price to HK$93.00 from HK$108.00, citing earnings uncertainty amid continued market competition. Shares last closed at HK$81.40.
