The Zhitong Finance App learned that Citi released a research report saying that during the recently concluded Central Economic Work Conference, the government emphasized plans to clean up unreasonable restrictions in the consumer sector and unleash the potential for service consumption. The bank expects the government to relax some anti-luxury consumption measures in 2026, while casual catering companies such as Haidilao (06862.HK) will benefit more than fast food companies. The bank began a 30-day positive catalytic observation on Haidilao and now has a target price of HK$18.5 and a “buy” rating.
