Chinese firms, led by Anta and TCL, are resuming foreign acquisitions to counter a sluggish domestic market. Anta has acquired a 29% stake in Puma, while TCL has taken over Sony's home entertainment division. This trend reflects a strategic shift as companies seek growth abroad amid a weak consumer economy. Conversely, China Merchants Bank is adopting a cautious approach, reporting minimal profit growth and a low non-performing loan ratio, indicating a focus on loan quality over aggressive expansion. These developments highlight the diverging paths of Chinese corporations in response to economic challenges.

ANTA and LI NING will face the "Milan Battle"

François-Henri Pinault sold his family's 29% stake in Puma to China's Anta for $1.8 billion, aided by an "anti-embarrassment" clause that guarantees additional payment if a higher bid arises within 15 months. Initially, Anta's offer of 35 euros per share was met with skepticism, but the clause helped finalize the deal amid Artemis's need to reduce debt and refocus investments. The sale reflects Artemis's strategy to prioritize controlled assets and redeploy resources, as Puma faces competitive pressures and declining stock value.

These consumer sector stocks are really laid back: Nongfu Spring, Mengniu, and Anta are as stable as a rock, with gains relying solely on a snail's pace, and occasional news stimulation barely makes a ripple.I thought Weilong might bring something new to the table, but it still couldn't escape the fate of following the market's flat trend.Honestly, the atmosphere in Hong Kong stocks is quite discouraging, but I'm used to it. No matter how much the food and beverage sector fluctuates, it won't fall too far.

Anta (Minutes): Outdoor brands will continue to maintain high growth rates

Financial Analysis

On the afternoon of August 27th, Beijing time, Anta (2020.HK) released its performance for the first half of 2025. Since the company had previously provided the sales data, there was not much deviation from expectations. However, the core point of market concern lies in the company's downward revision of the full-year guidance for its main brand and the declining profit margin.

Anta Sports (Minutes): Niche high-end brands perform well

On the afternoon of March 19, Beijing time, Anta (2020.HK) released its full-year performance for 2024. Since Anta had already announced its operational performance for Q3 and Q4 of 2024 in January this year and October last year, the market's expectations for total revenue are relatively accurate. However, the core concern that has raised market worries is the decline in Anta's profitability

Anta Sports: Revenue is sprinting ahead while profits are tripping over their laces

$ANTA SPORTS(02020.HK) 24H2 Quick Interpretation: Overall, Dolphin Research believes that Anta's performance this time is mediocre. Although revenue and gross profit slightly exceeded expectations, due to intense market competition, Anta increased its market spending and related expenses, resulting in core operating profit slightly falling short of expectations, raising concerns among some investors.On the revenue side, whether it is Anta, FILA, or other brands, under the backdrop of weak consumer spending, all increased the launch of high-cost-performance products (such as PG7 running shoes) in 24H2, introduced store types like Super Anta with high cost-performance, and appropriately increased discount intensity through e-commerce to attract a large number of price-sensitive consumers, leading to revenue exceeding market expectations. Anta's market share in the entire sports footwear and apparel sector further increased to 23%.However, the result of this is that the gross profit margins of various brands under Anta experienced varying degrees of decline in 24H2, with FILA and the main Anta brand's gross profit margins decreasing by 3.3 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points year-on-year, respectively, while high-end brands like Descente and Kolon Sport saw relatively lower declines.On the expense side, on one hand, due to fierce market competition, Anta increased its marketing efforts; on the other hand, factors such as store upgrades and new store openings also led to an increase in the company's expense spending, causing Anta's core operating profit margin to decline to some extent.Regarding the guidance for 2025, the company plans to promote the high-cost-performance store type of Super Anta. Although the company claims in the announcement that the efficiency of Super Anta stores is more than three times that of ordinary stores, Dolphin Research believes that Super Anta also faces challenges of large size and high costs, and ultimately, it will depend on specific profitability. More information can be followed up in the subsequent conference call.

The return of Trump has left China with no policy options but one path—reflation, which includes asset reflation and price reflation.For China's economic growth, there are only two real drivers: leveraging and strong external demand. These are the fundamental sources of demand creation.Next year, external demand itself will weaken marginally. If Trump wields the tariff stick again, China will have to focus on internal reforms. Moreover, demand stimulation must target end-user demand, not intermediate investment demand.Over the past two years, Chinese assets have remained undervalued with high dividends. In 2025, cyclical and tech-upgrading sectors are likely to present opportunities (refer to the 2018 trade war).The path is singular and clear, making the game simple. Next year, the focus will likely be on cyclical sectors, especially in trading terms—front-loading policy expectations and back-loading implementation effects.The policy game has already begun today. In terms of timing, consumer goods, especially service-related consumption, must lead the cyclical upturn, as service consumption holds greater potential in China's domestic demand.Moreover, the results of the 8th meeting will soon be released, followed by the Central Economic Work Conference at year-end. Thus, consumer sectors are poised for an initial rally. With valuations at low levels, Dolphin Research believes now is the window to position in cyclical sectors, recommending focus on consumer sectors with solid fundamentals and low valuations. $YUM China(YUMC.US) $NONGFU SPRING(09633.HK) $TSINGTAO BREW(00168.HK) $HAIDILAO(06862.HK) $CHINA RES BEER(00291.HK) $ANTA SPORTS(02020.HK) Note that these overseas assets are purely listed in Hong Kong.Internet consumer stocks, mostly listed in the U.S. with higher U.S. capital weightings, face concerns about becoming part of the U.S.-China play. Thus, they need to digest negative sentiment first, but opportunities may emerge afterward.
