近日，有加盟商向茶咖观察透露，酸奶罐罐已被茉酸奶收购，创始人及初创团队已离场，原定的出海计划搁浅。另一位加盟商证实，早在11月便已有相关传 闻，其门店也在同期停业。同时，茶咖观察也向另一位接近该品牌的人士证实了该消息，但酸奶罐罐内部尚未出现大规模人事调整。 茶咖观察就此事向酸奶罐罐创始人郑志禹求证，未获正面回应。 值得注意的是，茉酸奶自身近期也刚完成一场权力更迭：创始人赵伯华卸任全部职务并清空股份，彻底离场；原联合创始人、加盟商出身的顾豪成为控股股 东及法定代表人。与此同时，乳企君乐宝以21.43万元出资获得了茉酸奶运营主体42.86%的股权。 出品/茶咖观察 作者/蒙嘉怡 编辑/薛向 图源/小红书@酸奶罐罐 酸奶赛道开始进入整合期。 | | 持股详情 | | © 个查查 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 君乐宝(河北)企业管理有限公司 | | | | | 持股企业 | | | | | 上海伯邑餐饮管理有限公司 | | | | | 股东类型 | | 持股比例 | | | 企业法人 | | 42.86% | | | 首次持股日期 | | 关联品牌产品 | | | 2023-12-13 ...

据印度联合新闻（UNI）报道，评级机构ICRA最新评估指出，印度水泥行业预计将在未来两个财年（2026及2027财年）继续保持稳 定增长，受住房和基础设施项目持续强劲的需求驱动。该机构预测，2027财年水泥销量将增长6-7%，延续本财年（2026财年）预计 6.5-7.5% 的增长势头。 产能扩张与竞争格局 面对健康的需求前景，主要水泥企业正积极进行大规模产能扩张。ICRA估计，2026财年行业将新增4300-4500万吨年产能，2027财年 将再增4200-4400万吨，两年内合计新增产能近9000万吨。近期一系列并购（如阿达尼集团收购Penna Cement和Orient Cement）也加 剧了市场整合，强化了大型企业的区域和全国性优势。 盈利能力展望 得益于有利的价格和更高销量，ICRA预计本财年（2026财年）行业运营盈利能力（以每吨息税折旧摊销前利润衡量）将显著提升至 每吨900-950卢比。不过，由于关键投入成本（如石油焦、运费）预计上升，2027财年盈利能力可能温和回落至每吨880-900卢比。尽 管如此，预期水泥价格在2027财年仍将保持2-4% 的增长，支撑行业整体利润。 需求与增长驱动力 ...
