Treasury Wine Estates (OTC:), the Australian vintner listed on the ASX, is optimistic about its future in China as the country fast-tracks a review of antidumping tariffs on Australian wine. The company is prepared to revive its once thriving market in China if these significant setbacks are removed.
According to InvestingPro, Treasury Wine Estates, trading under the ticker TWE, is currently operating with a market capitalization of AUD 8.6 billion. The vintner’s revival strategy involves a shift of its Penfolds luxury and premium brands from other international markets to China. This move will be complemented by an increase in investment in sales and marketing within the country. This strategy comes as a response to the severe hurdles the company faced in 2020 due to diplomatic tensions that led to heavy antidumping duties.
The company’s financial health, as per InvestingPro data, shows that it operates with a moderate level of debt and its liquid assets exceed short term obligations. This could potentially provide the company with a solid foundation for its planned expansion.
The Australia-China relationship appears to be on the mend with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s impending visit. This diplomatic event has led to China consenting to reassess their restrictions on Australian wine, sparking hope for Treasury Wine Estates’ reentry into its previously robust market. This is a significant development, considering the company’s revenue has been declining at an accelerating rate, as highlighted by the InvestingPro Tips.
