China Resources Beer is navigating a transformative beverage market in China, projected to reach USD 529.9 billion by 2035. Despite an 18.5% revenue drop in H1 25, the company remains optimistic with a 13% rise in share price over the past year and a strong analyst consensus of 'Buy' ratings. Analysts predict a dividend yield increase to 5.2% and a target price suggesting a 33.8% upside. However, challenges like declining packaged water demand and a competitive premium beer market pose risks. The company's future hinges on innovation and channel expansion to offset core business weaknesses.

The world's third-largest brewer Carlsberg saw its organic operating profit grow by 5% to DKK 13.99 billion last year, exceeding market expectations, benefiting from cost reductions and the acquisition of Britvic, which brought in better-than-expected earnings. It is expected that this year's organic operating profit will grow by 2% to 6% year-on-year. Last year, beer sales increased by 17.7%, while organic beer sales declined by 2%. Excluding San Miguel beer, organic beer sales in Western Europe increased by 1.3%, while the Asian market declined by 2.4%, and the markets in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and India fell by 0.6%

CITIC Securities International's research report has lowered the target price for CHINA RES BEER to 31 yuan, maintaining a "buy" rating. Despite pressure on the ready-to-drink channel, sales growth in non-ready-to-drink channels has shown resilience in overall sales. Heineken's growth rate is about 20%, and low-end products have also seen slight positive growth. It is expected that net profit will achieve high single-digit to double-digit growth by 2025, with the dividend payout ratio expected to increase to 70%. At the same time, the liquor business may incur impairment losses, which will have short-term impacts but will be beneficial for valuation improvement in the long term. Revenue forecasts for the fiscal years 2025 and 2026 have been slightly adjusted downwards by about 2%

On January 12th, China Resources Beer (0291.HK) once again exhibited a one-sided downward trend, with the consumer sector's "heat cooling," leading to outflows of main funds and a market primarily characterized by low-level pulses. From the market perspective, there are no core driving events in the industry, and institutions have lower expectations for consumer assets compared to the same period last year, with terminal demand recovery lagging behind, causing the stock price to decline throughout the day to the critical support area of 26.14 yuan. The MACD daily line shows a death cross, with indicators synchronously weakening, and the pressure on the lower Bollinger Band increasing, exacerbating technical weakness signals. Currently, the industry is in a "quiet period," with no new orders or incremental business disclosures. The peak season for beer consumption has ended, and the winter off-season, combined with delayed mainline switching, is dragging down market confidence. In this context, a decline in leading stocks can easily trigger overall fluctuations in the consumer sector. If there are sudden adjustments in consumption tax, holiday promotions, or positive news stimuli, the market may experience divergent rebounds; otherwise, the short-term structure will be difficult to improve under pressure. Right-side traders should closely monitor intraday volume, policy signals, and market anomalies. The old logic of consumption has become ineffective, and a recovery in volume or sudden events will be the turning point for this round of market trends. If the market quickly rushes to buy, the sustainability of the rebound needs to be tracked for volume-price coordination. It is recommended to guard against chain risks triggered by declines and to respond flexibly to weak cyclical fluctuations

Technical Forecast

Early Morning Trend | CHINA RES BEER approaches the lower band, is the short-term downside risk heating up under weak consumption recovery?

China Resources Beer (291.HK) has recently faced significant downward pressure, with the daily MACD continuously showing a death cross and weak short-term technical performance. Although there were attempts to rebound during certain periods, the momentum was insufficient, and the stock price has overall remained in a weak oscillation at a phase low, with low trading volume and continued capital outflow. The consumer sector is affected by macroeconomic uncertainties, leading to intensified internal rotation within the sector. As a leading company, China Resources Beer has not yet shown strong counterattack signals. On the industry level, consumer scenarios are gradually recovering post-pandemic, but the recovery speed is limited, coupled with a lack of new growth stimuli in the market, resulting in a dominant wait-and-see sentiment among investors. Technically, the previous low support is weak, and the MACD continues to amplify the green bars. If an effective stabilization pattern cannot be formed in the near term, the stock price may continue to seek a lower bottom. In the medium to long term, it is necessary to wait for catalysts such as better-than-expected performance or cost reductions. In terms of operational strategy, it is recommended to maintain a light position and observe, strictly control positions, and pay attention to capital movements in the support area and marginal changes in industry prosperity. Only with a rebound in trading volume and a K-line breaking through the phase pressure level can we judge that the trend may improve; otherwise, we must be on guard for the risk of new lows at any time

Morning Trend | CHINA RES BEER's attempt to rebound from the bottom fails, can the consumer sector withstand the pressure?

$CHINA RES BEER(00291.HK) Overall, China Resources Beer's performance in 24H2 is in line with expectations under low forecasts. Although the story of premiumization driving ton price increases is still unfolding, during the industry's deep adjustment period, the accelerated clearance of low-end beer has inevitably led to a decline in overall sales for China Resources, resulting in continued negative growth in revenue. In terms of profit, after excluding fixed asset impairment and one-time employee compensation, government subsidies, and other special items caused by factory closures, EBITDA increased by 17.4% year-on-year, and EBITDA margin improved by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year, mainly due to the improvement in product mix enhancing the company's profitability.In terms of sales volume, China Resources achieved a sales volume of 4.53 million tons in 24H2, a year-on-year decrease of 1.2%. Although the decline in sales volume has narrowed compared to H1, it is still slightly below expectations due to unexpected rainfall during the summer peak season and the lack of significant improvement in on-premise consumption scenarios such as dining and nightlife, coupled with the accelerated clearance of low-end beer.In terms of ton price, the ton price in 24H2 reached 3,076 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.8% year-on-year. This is significantly less than the single-digit increases seen in the previous two years, indicating that the pace of the company's premiumization is slowing down amid weakened consumer spending. However, due to generally low market expectations, the ton price slightly exceeded expectations (expected 3,119 yuan/ton).In terms of gross margin, the improvement in the product mix of the beer business and the high growth of premium liquor products (up 35% year-on-year) drove the company's gross margin to increase by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year. From an annual perspective, the company's gross margin increased by 1.20 percentage points year-on-year to 42.6%, reaching a five-year high. The expense ratio remained stable compared to the same period last year.Looking at the guidance for 2025, China Resources has raised its sales target for 2025 to low single-digit growth (from flat), reflecting management's optimism about the recovery of the beer industry in 2025. Additionally, based on the disclosed data for January-February 2025, the company's revenue and profit both exceeded expectations, with profit growth significantly outpacing revenue growth.
