Group 1 - Meituan's stock price fell over 4% on July 31, reaching a new low of 121 HKD, with a total market capitalization of 740.5 billion HKD, primarily influenced by shareholder Prosus's recent divestment actions [1] - Prosus has quietly sold approximately 250 million USD worth of Meituan shares in the past two weeks and may continue to reduce its stake, currently holding less than 5% of Meituan's total shares [1] - Prosus, a subsidiary of South African media giant Naspers, is one of the largest tech investment firms globally, known for its significant stake in Tencent and investments in various companies including Ctrip and Delivery Hero [1] Group 2 - Meituan's entry into the Brazilian food delivery market, with a planned investment of 1 billion USD, is expected to intensify competition, directly impacting Prosus's core asset, iFood, which has a projected adjusted EBIT margin of 27% for FY2025 [2] - Meituan's international expansion also includes the launch of its food delivery brand Keeta in the Middle East, which captured about 10% of the Saudi market within four months, employing strategies similar to those in Hong Kong [2] - The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) food delivery market is projected to reach 30 billion USD by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 15% from 2024 to 2028, as Meituan aims to capture 20% of this market, potentially generating an additional 1.5 billion USD in revenue [2] Group 3 - Meituan's expansion into the Middle East poses a threat to another Prosus asset, the UAE-based food delivery platform Talabat, which is part of Delivery Hero SE, highlighting the need for Meituan to balance interests with its shareholders [3]
