]Daiwa lifts Anta Sports (02020) to HK$43.5
|
Daiwa Research lifted its target price for Anta Sports Products (02020) to HK$43.5 from HK$40, and reiterated its "buy" rating. The research house said Anta's 2017 earnings growth of 29.4% YoY to CNY3.1bn was in line with Daiwa's expectations. However, its results were mixed, with government grants and FX gains offsetting weaker-than-expected margins. Nevertheless, Daiwa remains confident in the company's multi-brand and omni-channel strategy. It raised its revenue assumptions for 2018-19 to account for the recent revenue growth momentum and inclusion of the group's new brands, but trimmed its gross and operating margin estimates on higher raw material, A&P, staff and rental cost assumptions. In all, Daiwa trimmed 2018 earnings and raised its 2019 earnings by less than 1%. |
