To navigate headwinds brought about by the “Double Reduction” policy, TAL underwent an overhaul by pivoting the non-academic education business development. This includes venturing into a diverse range of businesses such as enrichment learning, learning devices, and content solutions based on large models. We opine the softened regulatory backdrop bodes well for TAL’s viable strategic transition as evidenced by its promising 4QFY24 results. Maintain BUY. Target price is US$16.30.

In 1Q24, Budweiser APAC recorded a 5% decline in beer sales volume but a 5% growth in ASP. For 2Q24, management expects volume growth in the China market to be under pressure, given the high-base effect and bad weather impact, especially in the core markets of Guangdong and Fujian.

AEM’s 1Q24 revenue of S$94m (-38% yoy) is in line with expectation, but earnings of S$2.4m (-85% yoy) is below expectation at only 7% of our full-year estimate. AEM maintained its 1H24 revenue guidance of S$170m-200m. However, the near-term outlook has worsened as visibility in 2H24 remains limited, and any uptick in growth is expected to occur only in 2025. We cut our 2024 earnings forecast by 42%. Downgrade to SELL with a 14% lower target price of S$1.67 (12x 2025F PE).
