Meituan Delivers Tasty Profit but Predicts Tougher Times Ahead

Thanks to cost controls, online food delivery giant Meituan turned a profit in the third quarter after languishing in the red for nearly two years. But it warned that the pandemic would take a heavier toll on its results in the last three months of the year.

Food delivery giant Meituan (03690.HK) has finally served up an appetizing profit for investors after two lean years, but can it follow up with the next earnings course?

Despite tough Covid lockdowns and flagging consumer demand, Meituan posted better than expected earnings in the third quarter from both its core businesses, such as food delivery, and its newer commercial ventures.

The results posted last Friday showed total revenue grew just over 28% to 62.62 billion yuan ($8.89 billion) in the three months to end-September. For a clearer idea of the dynamics, it’s worth taking a closer look at Meituan’s two main divisions: the core local commerce business, which includes food delivery and shopping platforms, and its new ventures such as Meituan Select.
