Tsingtao Earnings: Higher Operating Expenses Incurred to Clear Channel Inventory; Valuation Intact
Tsingtao Brewery’s 2024 net profit slightly exceeded our expectations due mainly to higher nonoperating income. Although gross margin was stronger than anticipated, operating profit fell short of our forecast by 3% because of lower revenue and increased operating expenses. We believe the company raised its selling expenditures toward the end of 2024 to reduce channel inventory.
