The brokerage cited healthy channel inventory and strong demand during the Lunar New Year holiday period. The brewery's net-profit margin is also expected to widen by 0.6 percentage points in 2025, partly due to likely lower raw material prices.The brokerage raises the stock's target price to HK$61.31 from HK$59.00, with an unchanged add rating. Shares are 2.1% higher at HK$59.50. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
