Final signal: WATCHLIST

Core Conclusion

Eastroc Beverage is a strong business but not a buy at the current price. CNY129.64 is 1.59x base FV of CNY81.43 and 2.74x conservative FV of CNY47.29. The signal remains watchlist because quality is high, while valuation is already demanding.

Business Breakdown

Five-year revenue CAGR is 31.5%, with latest-year revenue of CNY20.88bn. Energy-drink demand, distribution expansion, and brand momentum support the quality case, but competition, category concentration, and growth normalization cap the multiple.

Business Quality

The 84/100 score is supported by rapid growth, high returns, and strong cash conversion. Latest-year FCF was CNY3.91bn. Five-year average ROE was 40.5% and average ROIC was 26.1%, though latest net debt must be tracked.

Financial Audit

Fiscal 2025 revenue was CNY20.88bn, net profit CNY4.42bn, operating cash flow CNY6.17bn, capex CNY2.27bn, and FCF CNY3.91bn. Five-year FCF/net income was 1.05 and OCF/net income was 1.56. Latest net debt was CNY1.38bn.

Valuation

The conservative case uses CNY3.91bn normalized FCF, 2.0% growth, and 9.2x, producing CNY47.29 per share. The base case uses 4.0% growth and 15.6x, producing CNY81.43. The optimistic case uses 5.0% growth and 20.0x, producing CNY104.84. Current price is above all three cases.

Buy And Tracking Discipline

The action is watch. A buy requires price/base FV below 0.70, quality above 75, durable FCF, and evidence that growth, margins, channel execution, and leverage remain under control.

Risk Review

Risks include beverage category competition, distributor inventory, marketing intensity, raw-material cost pressure, product concentration, and leverage. If FCF conversion weakens or net debt expands, FV should be reduced.
