<ul>
<li>Share price of Meituan has fallen by 25% since we flagged the name as high-conviction sell for 2024 last December, due in large to its weakening fundamental and earnings cut.</li>
<li>We believe its competitive positioning in food delivery remains rock solid and estimates Meituan will likely command over 2/3 market share in in-store business, at the expense of margin.</li>
<li>The company trades at 12x/8.6x 2024/25 consensus earnings. Current valuation already priced in rather bearish outlook amidst macro concerns and intensified competition in our view. We see value emerging.</li>

Share price of Meituan has fallen by 25% since we flagged the name as high-conviction sell for 2024 last December, due in large to its weakening fundamental and earnings cut.
We believe its competitive positioning in food delivery remains rock solid and estimates Meituan will likely command over 2/3 market share in in-store business, at the expense of margin.
The company trades at 12x/8.6x 2024/25 consensus earnings. Current valuation already priced in rather bearish outlook amidst macro concerns and intensified competition in our view. We see value emerging.
