Sun Art's New Retail Initiatives Won't Reap Benefits Until 2020; Shares Fairly Valued
We maintain our fair value estimate for Sun Art even though full-year results missed our expectations. Sales and net income were respectively 5% and 4% lower than our forecasts. Management’s business plans give us more confidence in our assumption of a recovery in top-line growth and margin expansion. 2019 will be the year of acceleration of new retail initiatives and increased investment after laying the foundation in 2018. 2020 will be the year in which Sun Art will start to reap the benefits....Sun Art Retail Group is an investment holding company, engaged in the operation of hypermarkets in the People's Republic of China (PRC), under two banners of Auchan and RT-Mart.
