CHOW TAI FOOK (01929.HK)'s 3FQ26 concluded strong, with same-store sales growth in mainland China/ Hong Kong & Macau increasing by 21.4%/ 14.3% YoY each, CLSA published a research report saying. The Company slightly adjusted its sales, same-store sales growth and profit margin guidance for FY2026.

However, given the higher base, the Company predicted same-store sales during the Lunar New Year (LNY) to achieve low- to mid-single-digit YoY growth, and tightened January discounts to build momentum for February promotions, while increasing marketing expenditures.
