Meituan remains the dominant Chinese on-demand delivery platform despite a Q3 loss driven by intensified subsidy competition with JD.com and Alibaba. Meituan's fulfillment efficiency and integrated content-to-transaction ecosystem underpin its market leadership, with unmatched speed, reliability, and high AOV order dominance. Meituan's lower burn rate versus peers amid irrational competition and a 34.3% YTD share price decline present an attractive buying opportunity.
Meituan is upgraded to bullish as the subsidy war peaks and market share rebounds, signaling a clearer path to margin recovery. Q3 revenue softness was optical, driven by contra-revenue from incentives, while New Initiatives delivered 15.9% y/y growth and improved margins. Subsidy levels are trending lower post-summer, with user engagement and GTV market share recovering, indicating competitive intensity is waning.
