The national subsidies programme continued to reinforce the consumption trend of “value-based substitution” during the 618 festival. While the share of online vs offline spending remained stable, emerging channels are creating new growth opportunities. We believe the consumption momentum will be shaped by: a) impact from the temporary suspension of the national subsidies programme in five provinces, and b) changes in the food delivery competitive landscape.

We recently met with James Smith, TalkTalk CEO. With the 1st lien bond now trading at 45 or 2.8x EBITDAaL after a sharp sell off in recent weeks, we believe that the risk-reward now looks attractive with M&A optionality not being priced in and upgrade the first-lien debt to Overweight.

What’s new: Vipshop’s reported 1Q25 results that were largely in line with consensus and our expectations. While consumer sentiment has been trending better in Apr and May, the rev guidance implies that there are still uncertainties in the recovery trend for the rest of the quarter. Margins could remain stable amid continued cost controls. We maintain our PT at USD13. Analysts: Jin Yoon
Total revenues were RMB26.3bn (-20.9% QoQ and -5.0% YoY), largely in-line with consensus and our expectations. non-GAAP gross margin came in at 23.2%, above our expectations of 23.0% but down from 23.7% in 1Q24. non-GAAP operating margin was at 10.0%, in-line with our estimates but down from 11.1% in 1Q24. non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at RMB4.43, in-line with our expectations and above consensus estimates of RMB4.32. Analysts: Jin Yoon
What’s new: JD’s reported 1Q25 results that were above consensus and our expectations. JD Retail could remain resilient where segment revs could grow by double-digit YoY in 2Q and FY25. The improvement in JD Retail margins could be partly offset by continued investments in food delivery. We maintain our PT at USD70. Analysts: Jin Yoon
JD’s 1Q25 results came in above expectations. Revenue increased 16% yoy to Rmb301b, 3-4% above our and consensus estimates, in line with its previously guided double-digit growth. Non-GAAP operating profit rose 31% yoy to Rmb11.7b, translating to a non-GAAP operating profit margin of 3.9%. Non-GAAP net profit grew 43% yoy to Rmb12.8b. Adjusted net margin jumped 1ppt yoy to 4%. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of HK$185.00 (US$49.00).
