The recovery in demand within China's consumer sector for 2Q25 has yet to manifest, and the divergence in sales and profit margin trends at the company level is escalating, Morgan Stanley wrote in its research report.

The 2Q25 market earnings estimates for the companies under Morgan Stanley's coverage decline because of pressure from mature product category sales.
