Luckin Coffee (ADR)

Luckin Coffee reported fourth-quarter revenue up 32.9% year over year to $1.82 billion, driven by new store openings and expansion into markets like Singapore, Malaysia and the U.S. The company leverages low prices, online ordering and cashier-free formats and trades about 36% below its 2020 peak, with a forward P/E of 24 versus Starbucks at 41. CEO Jinyi Guo plans to seek a Nasdaq relisting, which management says could unlock significant value, making Luckin the preferred pick versus Mama's Creations in this analysis. » More on finance.yahoo.com

Luckin Coffee opened a two-storey Origin Flagship in Shenzhen, its 30,000th store, offering premium pour-over and specialty drinks at higher prices than its usual $1–$2 items.

Centurium Capital, Luckin’s backer, is reportedly exploring a possible bid for Coca-Cola-owned Costa Coffee as part of broader international expansion, while investors press for operational discipline ahead of a potential U.S. relisting.
