$MEITUAN(03690.HK) released its Q3 earnings after the Hong Kong stock market closed on November 28th, being the last among the 'Three Fools' in the food delivery battle. During the summer quarter, which saw the most intense subsidies, Meituan reported a massive operating loss of 19.8 billion, compared to JD.com's 'slight loss' of about 1 billion and Alibaba's remaining profit of approximately 5 billion. As the defending party under attack, Meituan's situation is much more severe compared to Alibaba and JD.com. Key points are as follows: 1. Is Meituan's actual loss 80% of Alibaba's?: First, let's look at the most concerning issue of losses. This quarter, the operating loss of the local commerce segment reached as high as 14.1 billion...

Meituan: A staggering loss of nearly 20 billion! Did Alibaba really succeed in this takeover?

Meituan 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: Meituan, the most affected in the food delivery battle, had a predictably poor 3Q performance. The group's operating loss for the quarter was RMB 19.8 billion (vs. last year's profit of RMB 13.7 billion), exceeding Bloomberg's consensus forecast of a RMB 16.2 billion loss (not updated timely), but roughly in line with the latest sell-side report expectations. Specifically: 1) The core local commerce segment saw revenue decline by nearly 3% this quarter, mainly due to substantial shipping subsidies (recorded as revenue deductions) leading to a 17% year-on-year decline in delivery revenue. Assuming per-order delivery revenue remained flat, the implied cost of shipping fee waivers exceeded RMB 9 billion. 2) Additionally, the growth rate of advertising revenue in the core local segment also significantly slowed to just 5.7%. Logically, the food delivery battle should have limited impact on advertising revenue, which may suggest that Meituan's in-store business also faced some competitive pressure this quarter, prompting the company to voluntarily reduce related fees. 3) In the core local segment, the operating loss for the quarter was RMB 14.1 billion, a net decrease of nearly RMB 29 billion compared to last year, largely reflecting Meituan's losses in instant retail this quarter (it appears the in-store business may not have seen much profit growth), compared to Alibaba's claim of RMB 36 billion loss in flash sales this quarter. 4) As for the new business segment, revenue grew by 16% year-on-year this quarter, slowing by nearly 7 percentage points compared to the previous quarter, while the loss decreased significantly quarter-on-quarter to RMB -1.28 billion. With increased investment in Meituan's overseas business, it should mainly be the substantial contraction of domestic preferred business that helped reduce the loss in new business. 5) However, unusually, the unallocated loss expanded by approximately RMB 2.8 billion compared to the previous quarter. About RMB 1.1 billion can be explained by changes in investment gains or impairments and other operational factors. For the remaining part, the company explained it was due to investments in AI and other projects. There is some suspicion whether the better-than-expected loss in new business was manipulated. $MEITUAN(03690.HK) $Meituan(MPNGY.US) $MEITUAN-WR(83690.HK)

1127 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1. The Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that the exemption of certain tariffs on Chinese goods, established under Section 301 due to issues related to technology transfer and intellectual property, will be extended until November 10, 2026. The original exemption was set to expire on November 29. In the short term, this can provide a 'safe period' for Chinese export enterprises in terms of orders and profits, and also reduce costs for American importers and consumers. However, the overall tariff framework remains unchanged, and the competition between China and the U.S. in high-tech fields will continue...

1126 | Dolphin Research Key Focus: 🐬 Stocks 1. $MEITUAN(03690.HK) Meituan saw a significant rebound today. Alibaba's China E-commerce Business Group CEO, Jiang Fan, pointed out that the first phase of Taobao Flash Sale's scale expansion has ended, and it has now entered the second phase, which is the 'efficiency optimization' phase. This implies that the disorderly cash-burning competition Meituan faces is expected to ease, leading to a more stable market structure, temporarily alleviating Meituan's profitability pressure. Meituan rose over 5% today. 2. $Baidu(BIDU.US) Baidu announced the establishment of a foundational model R&amp;D department and an application model R&amp;D department...

$Alibaba(BABA.US) released its Q2 FY2026 results during US pre-market trading on 25 November. The two key market concerns this quarter centred on investments driven by its food delivery business and the growth trajectory of its cloud operations: Regarding the former, food delivery losses this quarter are estimated at approximately ¥36 billion, falling within the lower end of the company's prior guidance range. Meanwhile, cloud services revenue growth accelerated beyond expectations to 34.5%, with profit margins remaining stable year-on-year – outperforming already robust projections. Bloomberg's consensus estimates were not updated in time for this quarter, rendering them of limited reference value...

Both Hong Kong and A-shares Rise; Meituan Officially Releases and Opens Source Its Video Generation Model | Today's Important News Recap

Hot topic

Today, the macro data package for September was released as scheduled. (It should be noted that the growth rate directly disclosed by the National Bureau of Statistics this year is about 1-2 percentage points higher than the growth rate calculated based on historical data. We will use the official published figures as the standard.) Overall, Dolphin Research summarized three key points: 1) The overall retail market continues to weaken, with the year-on-year growth rate in September further declining to 3%, not far from the historical low before the major reversal in September last year. Among them, the decline in goods retail was limited, while the growth rate of catering revenue nearly zeroed out, being the main drag. 2) Online channels still maintain a relative advantage, with the growth rate of online physical retail in both this month and the overall third quarter exceeding 7%...
