KeyBanc Capital Markets公司的分析师Eric Gonazalez在近期的一份报告中说，受冠状病毒疫情影响，中国的春节假期延长至2月份，营业的500家店交易量也不多，所以收益与预期有差距。 Luckin expressed confidence in customers coming back once the virus abates, the analyst said. 分析人士说，瑞幸咖啡表示一旦疫情解除，他们对顾客回归充满信心。 The coffee chain expects most employers in the virus-hit region to keep offices shut until the week of Feb. 24, he said. |
