Goldman Sachs Starts Meitu at Buy with HK$16 Price Target

The research report from Jefferies indicates that MEITU is expected to achieve a year-on-year growth of 60% to 66% in Non-IFRS adjusted profit attributable to shareholders by 2025, in line with market expectations. The growth is primarily driven by the rapid development of its core business, including photo, video, and design products, with overseas user growth surpassing that of the Chinese market, and gross profit growth outpacing operating expenses, creating an operational leverage effect. Jefferies has given MEITU a "Buy" rating with a target price of HKD 12.5, and is optimistic about its long-term potential in AI GC productivity tools

Bank of America maintains a "Buy" rating and a target price of HKD 11.3 for MEITU, expecting a year-on-year adjusted net profit growth of 60%-66% in 2025. The growth in performance is mainly driven by rapid growth in product revenue and operational leverage, particularly strong growth in paid users in overseas markets. Bank of America believes that MEITU's international expansion has enhanced the attractiveness of its products, and future revenue is expected to rise further. Despite market concerns about artificial intelligence leading to a stock price correction, Bank of America believes that MEITU has strong business defensive capabilities to seize growth opportunities driven by artificial intelligence

Goldman Sachs initiates coverage on MEITU with a "Buy" rating and a target price of 16 yuan. The report points out that generative artificial intelligence is driving MEITU's transformation from a "beautification tool" to an "AI photo and video generation and editing application," expanding its market to enterprise applications. It is expected that the compound annual growth rate of revenue from 2025 to 2030 will be 29%, with the proportion of enterprise revenue rising to 44% by 2030. Meanwhile, the operating profit margin is expected to increase from 21% in the first half of 2025 to 34% in 2028

Meitu (HK:1357) forecasts a 60%-66% increase in adjusted net profit for 2025, driven by revenue growth in its core products and a rise in global paying subscribers. However, IFRS net profit is expected to decline by up to 30% due to a high comparison base from a one-off cryptocurrency gain in 2024 and non-cash expenses related to convertible bonds. Analysts rate the stock as a Buy with a target price of HK$8.00. Meitu focuses on photo, video, and design products, emphasizing international market growth.

Meitu: A bumpy 'small‑but‑beautiful' story — where is the bottom?

Meitu’s evolution is the tale of a niche internet player constantly reinventing itself. It began with beauty filters, then ventured into smartphones, dabbled in crypto, and chased short video. After three years of strategic drift and a languishing share price, it finally rediscovered its core in 2022—tools—riding AI tailwinds.This is no longer the old one-tap retouching. On the consumer side, Meitu Xiuxiu offers a 200 mn traffic base. On the enterprise side, the 'Meitu Design Studio' and 'Kaipai' suites are positioning as lightweight productivity tools.Meanwhile, it has also stepped up overseas expansion. Yet at the same time...

Meitu: Can Vertical SaaS Survive the AI Wave?

Didi 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: In early November, Didi updated the market with guidance on its 3Q performance, mainly mentioning two issues: 1. The investment in the food delivery business in Brazil (to gain a first-mover advantage over Meitu Keeta) will lead to a significant expansion of losses in overseas business; 2. The guidance also indicated that domestic subsidies and other investments would be concentrated in the second half of the year, resulting in a decline in the domestic business's adj. EBITA profit margin compared to the high point in the first half.As this unfavorable guidance was digested by the market, Didi's stock price subsequently retreated by nearly 20%. The actual performance this quarter was largely in line with the previous guidance, with Bloomberg's consensus expectations being somewhat high due to untimely updates, while major banks have made corresponding adjustments. Therefore, overall, Didi's performance this season was expectedly poor.Specifically:1) In terms of core growth indicators, the domestic travel segment's GTV grew by approximately 10% year-on-year, slightly slowing down by about 2 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. The domestic business growth remains generally stable and largely in line with expectations. Meanwhile, the GTV growth rate of overseas business significantly increased to 31%, reflecting that the overseas investment indeed accelerated business growth, and it was notably higher than Bloomberg's consensus expectations.2) In terms of profit, the domestic business adj. EBITA profit was 2.98 billion, slightly higher than the November guidance of 2.7-2.8 billion. However, the trend shows that this quarter's profit margin fell significantly from over 4% in the first two quarters of this year (based on GTV) to 3.5% this quarter, indicating a considerable decline. Dolphin Research preliminarily judges that this is more due to the drag of weakening overall domestic ride-hailing demand (macro factors), while Didi's competitive landscape remains stable or further improved.3) The overseas business's loss this quarter expanded significantly to nearly 1.8 billion, with the loss rate doubling quarter-on-quarter to 5.6%, which is generally in line with the updated expectations of major banks. As mentioned earlier, this is mainly due to the impact of investment in Brazil's food delivery. $DiDi(DIDIY.US)
