During the Labour Day holiday, tourism and catering continued to record strong performances, while DF per capita spending showed a downward trend. We reiterate our key theses for the consumer sector, highlighting companies with: a) overseas expansion or turnaround prospects, b) upside potential of improving operating efficiency, or c) near-term catalysts. We keep Anta, CR Beer, CTGDF, Haidilao, Haier, Midea and Shenzhou as our most preferred stocks, but remove Galaxy from the stock picks. Mainta...
In this report, we have summarised what we read from consumer companies’ 2023 results, the 2024 outlook and recent updates. We think companies: a) with overseas expansion or turnaround prospects, b) that have upside potential of improving operating efficiency, c) that will benefit from near-term catalysts (eg event-driven), and d) have increasing dividend payout will outperform. Anta, CR Beer, CTGDF, Galaxy, Haidilao, Haier, Midea and Shenzhou are our most preferred stocks. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.
Haidilao’s 2023 results were in line with the profit alert. Management aims to maintain its market share at 7-8% against a growing catering market (6-8% yoy) in 2024, by growing the store count by single digits yoy and improving table turnover. Overall, we think the higher table turnover, stable gross margin and operating efficiency will outweigh the cons of wage cost inflation and possible price cuts amid a promotional environment. Maintain BUY and keep target price of HK$18.80 unchanged.

Bullish Outlook Intact Overall we remain bullish and we continue to believe the path of least resistance is higher for global equities (MSCI ACWI). The price uptrend is fairly steep for ACWI-US, so while this means it could correct 5-10% on a breakdown, such a pullback would likely be a buying opportunity. Furthermore, there is little that suggests a correction is imminent; we recommend riding the trend higher. · Index Overviews. The MSCI ACWI index (USD) is breaking out to all-time h...
