The Zhitong Finance App learned that Citi released a research report stating that it maintains the “buy” rating of Tsingtao Brewery Co., Ltd. (00168).

It is expected that its advertising and promotion expenses may be lower than expected, which will help short-term profits, but it will have a negative impact on its long-term brand value.

Hong Kong Stock Concept Tracking | Valuation has reached the bottom of history, and institutions are optimistic about the beer industry improving (with concept stocks)

Benefiting from post-pandemic demand recovery, China's beer industry produced 35.555 million kiloliters (yoy +0.3%) in 2023, but there is still a gap compared to 2019. Judging from the price point of view, the upgrading trend in China's beer industry is slowing down or not downgrading, and the gross sales gap of enterprises continues to rise. In 2023, the number of domestic catering companies cancelled nearly 1.3 million, more than double that of 2022. The ready-to-drink scene is recovering slowly as the main position for upgrading the beer structure, compounding the pressure on overall consumption power. The high-end trend has slowed down, but the mid-tier products of wine companies have maintained good growth. The tonnage prices of major domestic wine companies all achieved low to medium single-digit growth in 2023
