China Internet: Potential implications from implementation of social s...
JD and Meituan announced plans to gradually begin providing social security coverage for full-time and stable part-time riders nationwide starting 2Q25. Despite JD’s strategic implementation on zero commission and full social security coverage, we opine that this will have a limited impact on the company on competitive landscape and cost level, on the back of Meituan’s dominant market share, extensive restaurant coverage and 1P rider network scale advantages.

THBEV released its 1QFY25 business update whereby overall revenue grew 2.4% yoy, driven by the beer and NAB segments. However, 1QFY25 EBITDA decreased slightly by 0.8% yoy, dragged by the spirits segment on lower sales volumes and rising costs. Both the beer and NAB segments posted robust results on strong growth in key markets and ongoing cost efficiencies. In our view, THVBEV is trading at an attractive -1.5SD to its mean PE.

China Internet: Potential implications of de minimis tax exemption.
On 5 February, the USPS temporarily suspended the receipt of parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong. However, on 7 February, Trump signed an order delaying the cancellation of the de minimis trade exemption. We think PDD’s valuation will be partially overshadowed by the potential tariff pressures on Temu but supported by ongoing strategic mitigation efforts. As such, we believe that the uncertainties in policy changes will remain as the key concern throughout 2025.
