Yum China’s 1Q24 earnings beat consensus forecasts by 7% due to better G&A cost savings. Management sees a similar high base for 2Q24, given the strong demand recovery last year and intense competition. For 2024, the focus remains on driving traffic growth through smaller ticket size item offerings and marketing campaigns. KFC recently developed a mini-store model (capex per store: Rmb0.5m) for store expansion in lower-tier cities, which is expected to enhance cost efficiency.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS Economics PMI Manufacturing PMI came in better than expected at 50.4% (-0.4ppt) and stayed in the expansionary zone for the second month.

Non-manufacturing hit a three-month low of 51.2%, dragged by moderation in new orders and business expectations. We expect policy support to continue and the July Politburo may see new measures being rolled out. Sector Aviation T...

We attribute Haidilao’s share price surge of 8% on 10 Jan 23 in reaction to the strong table turnover rate growth. However, we reiterate our conservative view on the catering sector in view of the low visibility of an economic recovery and downside pressure on net margins from the market’s aggressive promotions. Within the sector, Haidilao is our top pick. We maintain UNDERWEIGHT on the sector.
Yum China’s 3Q23 results missed consensus estimates mainly due to foreign exchange impact and higher staff costs. Management sees recovery to be non-linear, as demand softened in Sep 23 and extended into Oct 23. According to management, 4Q23 margin may be impacted by a softer demand recovery and wage inflation. Management kept its updated net new store opening target unchanged, and the company has completed 72- 83% of the full-year target as of end-Sep 23.
