Since 4Q25, Hainan's offshore duty-free sales performance has been stronger than expected, with YoY growth of 13%/ 27% in October/ November, accelerating to 55% in Christmas Eve (18-24 December) and 88% in the first week of 2026, ,Citi Research published a research report saying. This is mainly attributed to new duty-free policies, wealth effects, promotional activities and festival concerts, etc..

The broker elevated its target price for CTG DUTY-FREE (01880.HK)'s H-shares from $72 to $100, and raised its 2026/ 2027 earnings forecasts by 5%/ 6.6% each, while lowering its 2025 earnings forecast by 6.3% to reflect weaker-than-expected 3Q25 results.
