By Arun George

  • China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp Ltd (601888 CH)/CTGDF, the largest travel retail operator in the world, aims to launch an H Share listing to raise US$2-3 billion on Friday.
  • CTGDF is a play on the normalization of domestic travel. However, the H Share listing timing is not ideal as a vital summer travel market, Sanya, is under renewed lockdown. 
  • The recovery timing has again shifted, with expectations of a 4Q recovery, but 2022 consensus expectations look slightly optimistic. We prefer to remain on the sidelines.
