Potential Consolidation of Puma China Could Yield Positive Surprise for Anta -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Feb 10

0846 GMT - Anta's potential consolidation of Puma China's retail and distribution business could deliver upside surprises, Citi analysts Xiaopo Wei and Brian Cho say in a note. Anta may seek to replicate its success in scaling Amer Sports in China with Puma, and there should be little push-back given the expansion aligns with Puma's interests. Investors may have underappreciated the positive contribution of Puma's China business on Anta, though sentiment has become more bullish given the smaller-than-expected deal size, a low likelihood of equity financing, and Anta's valuation discount to rival Li Ning. Citi maintains a buy rating with a HK$107 target price on Anta. Shares closed at HK$83.20. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
