Eastroc Beverage (Group)'s revenue growth outlook seems more positive, Daiwa Capital Markets analysts say in a research report. After attaining CNY1.5 billion revenue in 2024, the Chinese company's sports drink brand Bushuila is likely on track to double revenue in 2025, driven by further point-of-sales penetration, the analysts say. The beverage group's newly launched fruity tea has also been well received by the market, thanks to its aggressive promotion, the analysts add. The brokerage lifts its 2025-2027 EPS forecasts for the company by 10%-12%. It also raises the stock's target price to CNY295.00 from CNY260.00 with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are 1.3% higher at CNY271.10. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
