Chinese Bubble Tea Stocks Surge Amid Food-Delivery Platforms’ Discount War

Key Takeaways:

Powered by lumidawealth.com

  1. Stock Gains: Shares of Chinese bubble tea brands, including Sichuan Baicha Baidao Industrial (+7.3%), Guming Holdings (+7.5%), and Mixue Group (+3.0%), rose as food-delivery platforms intensified their price wars.
  2. Discount Frenzy: Platforms like Meituan, Alibaba’s Ele.me, and JD.com offered aggressive subsidies, with some beverages priced as low as 2 yuan or even free, driving record order volumes.
  3. Market Competition: JD.com’s entry into the food-delivery market has escalated competition, with Ele.me launching a 10 billion yuan $1.4 billion) subsidy program to counter Meituan and JD.com.
  4. Bubble Tea Benefits: Analysts estimate 30%-50% of subsidies are targeted at freshly made tea beverages, benefiting bubble tea brands due to their low price points and high purchase frequency.
  5. Strategic Shift: Delivery platforms aim to become China’s “everyday app” for goods and services, extending the duration of their investments in subsidies, according to Goldman Sachs.

What Happened?

Chinese bubble tea stocks surged as food-delivery platforms engaged in a discount war to capture market share. Platforms like Meituan, Ele.me, and JD.com offered steep discounts and vouchers, leading to a surge in beverage orders. Meituan reported that order volumes exceeded historical peaks, temporarily crashing its system on Saturday evening.

The intense competition stems from JD.com’s aggressive entry into the food-delivery market, challenging established players like Meituan and Ele.me. Subsidies have been heavily directed toward freshly made beverages, particularly bubble tea, due to their affordability and frequent consumer demand.


Why It Matters?

The price war among food-delivery platforms highlights the growing competition in China’s on-demand economy, with companies vying to dominate as multi-service platforms. For bubble tea brands, the surge in orders represents a significant opportunity to expand their customer base and boost sales.

However, the heavy reliance on subsidies raises questions about the sustainability of this growth, as platforms may face pressure to balance user acquisition with profitability. The broader implications for the food-delivery sector include potential consolidation and a shift toward long-term customer retention strategies.


What’s Next?

As the subsidy war continues, analysts expect food-delivery platforms to extend their investments in discounts to solidify their positions as all-in-one service apps. Bubble tea brands are likely to benefit in the short term, but the focus will shift to how platforms manage profitability and customer loyalty once subsidies taper off.

Investors will monitor the impact of these strategies on the financial performance of both food-delivery platforms and beverage companies in the coming quarters.
