Meituan Could Double Investment in Instant Delivery in 3Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Aug 29

0332 GMT - Meituan could double its investment in instant delivery to 20 billion yuan in 3Q, potentially causing a large loss, CGS International analysts say in a note. The Chinese shopping-and-delivery platform targets a 2% gross transaction value margin for the segment over the longer term amid its rivalry with Alibaba, they write. While Meituan's delivery business gained users in 2Q, its in-store division was weighed by the food-delivery price war, they add, which the company reckons could continue in 3Q. The analysts cut their 2025-2027 adjusted EPS forecasts by 32%-125% on lower margins. CGS International trims the target to HK$123.00 from HK$161.00 but reiterates its add rating, saying it thinks Meituan can defend its leadership in the on-demand delivery market. Shares rise 0.6% to HK$102.30. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
