Nomura lifts CR Beer (00291) to HK$40.4
|
Nomura lifted its target price for China Resources Beer (CRB)(00291) to HK$40.4 from HK$37, and reiterated its "buy" rating. The research house said CRB delivered strong FY2017 results, with robust core earnings growth, acceleration of ASP growth in 2H 2017, and stable gross margins. CRB's key focus for FY2018 is growing its premium segment. Nomura estimated that premium beer accounts for only 6% of CRB's volumes, and expects its share to grow to 7%/12% in FY2018-19. It trimmed its FY2018-19 net profit forecasts by 7-8%, after factoring in the higher spending on marketing costs and effective tax rate. |
