Jiumaojiu International Holdings (9922 HK): 2024 profit warning; downg...
Jiumaojiu issued a profit warning for 2024, which implies a net loss not exceeding Rmb22m in 2H24. Management attributed the decline in net profit to: a) a drop in same-store performance, b) one-off store closure losses and impairment losses of no more than Rmb135m, and c) a decrease in other income. We refresh our 2024 revenue and earnings forecasts based on the profit warning, and cut our 2025 earnings forecast by 22%. Trim target price by 25% to HK$3.00. Downgrade to HOLD.

Key operational highlights include positive retail rental growth at Harbour City and a higher office occupancy rate. Management's outlook for 1H25 remains cautious. With top-line facing persistent challenges, lower finance costs may be the key profit driver. Trim earnings forecasts and lower target price by 7% to HK$23.10. Maintain BUY.

Thailand Property: 4Q24: Results Wrap-up; Facing A Challenging 2025
Project launches in 2025 are expected to remain stable yoy, limiting growth visibility for the sector. A slowdown in demand and elevated inventory will pressure margins and increase SG&A expenses. Additionally, policy uncertainty persists in the real estate sector. Given the ongoing challenges, a selective BUY approach remains appropriate, with AP as our top pick. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the sector.

China Strategy - The End Of Cycles?
The stronger-than-expected 1Q19 economic data and central bank backstop have fuelled optimism that cycles are a thing of the past. With animal spirits rekindled, our more cautious view since end-February has not played out well. Although we have not seen an improvement in risk-reward so far and further meaningful monetary easing will be needed to see a sustainable recovery, we are adjusting our strategy to include laggards and policy-supported sectors in our BUY list.
