Meituan delivered Q2 2026 revenue and earnings above consensus, with core local commerce operating profit reaching RMB 5.6 bn versus consensus RMB 3.4 bn. We maintain a Hold/neutral rating, citing balanced risk-reward as MT faces domestic competition from BABA and slow international scaling of Keeta. The company trades at 16x forward earnings, a slight discount to peers, reflecting structural headwinds: persistent subsidies, regulatory cost volatility, and uncertain margin durability.

I maintain a "Buy" rating on Meituan, citing a strong 2Q26 beat and a return to profitability. MPNGY's Core Local Commerce division delivered 10% YoY growth and a CNY5.67 billion operating profit, driven by high-AOV bookings and subsidy reductions. The company's overseas New Initiatives division improved efficiency, with Keeta's Saudi unit turning profitable and segment losses narrowing.
