The Hang Seng Index remains in a deep bear market and is hovering at its lowest level since July 17th as the crisis between the US and Iran escalates. It dropped to 24,570, down by over 11.65% from its highest level this year.
Meituan delivered Q2 2026 revenue and earnings above consensus, with core local commerce operating profit reaching RMB 5.6 bn versus consensus RMB 3.4 bn. We maintain a Hold/neutral rating, citing balanced risk-reward as MT faces domestic competition from BABA and slow international scaling of Keeta. The company trades at 16x forward earnings, a slight discount to peers, reflecting structural headwinds: persistent subsidies, regulatory cost volatility, and uncertain margin durability.
I maintain a "Buy" rating on Meituan, citing a strong 2Q26 beat and a return to profitability. MPNGY's Core Local Commerce division delivered 10% YoY growth and a CNY5.67 billion operating profit, driven by high-AOV bookings and subsidy reductions. The company's overseas New Initiatives division improved efficiency, with Keeta's Saudi unit turning profitable and segment losses narrowing.
