Australia's Treasury Wine Estates expressed confidence in restoring its business in China, resulting in a more than 5% surge in its shares. This positive outlook comes in response to the indication that Beijing's tariffs on Australian wine may be lifted.
According to Reuters, Treasury Wine believes that removing these tariffs would greatly enhance its operations within the Chinese market.
Australia's Treasury Wine Estates Well-Positioned for Business Rebuild in China
Channels News Asia reported that the Australian government, actively working towards mending economic ties with China after numerous disputes, mentioned on Sunday that China had agreed to expedite the review of tariffs imposed on Australian wine. The review process is expected to conclude within the next five months.
Treasury Wine, the largest independent winemaker in the world, issued a statement affirming its commitment to responsibly implementing measures that aim to expand its business in China should the tariffs be removed. The company used to generate one-third of its profit in China before most of its business was adversely affected by the imposition of tariffs in 2021.
This followed Australia's call for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, causing strained relations between the two countries.
Treasury Wine outlined several strategies to revive its business in China. These tactics involve reallocating a portion of the Penfolds Luxury brand from other markets back to China and rebuilding distribution channels for the Penfolds Australian entry-level luxury portfolios.
Positive Outlook for Australian Wine Export Industry
According to research notes from analysts at Goldman Sachs, the potential removal of tariffs would enormously benefit the Australian wine export industry, especially Treasury Wine.
The company's shares experienced a substantial rise, reaching up to 5.3%, making it one of the top performers on the Australian stock exchange on Monday. With investors responding positively to the news, Treasury Wine's shares traded up 2% on Monday, further solidifying the company's market position.
Treasury Wine recently stated that it anticipates its operating profit for the year ending in June 2024 to be weighted more towards the year's second half. This approach allows the company to maintain flexibility, considering the potential future review of tariffs.
