Guming Joins China's Tea Market Party With IPO Bid
Portfolio Pulse from The Bamboo Works
Guming Holdings Ltd., a Chinese tea shop chain, has applied for a Hong Kong IPO, aiming to expand its franchise network and compete in China's mid-priced tea market. With 9,001 outlets, mostly franchised, Guming's profits tripled in the first nine months of last year. The company's success is attributed to its franchise model, competitive pricing, and focus on second- and third-tier cities. Guming faces competition from Mixue Group and established brands like Nayuki and Heytea, which are also adjusting prices to capture market share. Luckin Coffee (OTC:LKNCY) is also mentioned as a competitor in the beverage market.
