During the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday, tourism, both domestic and outbound, catering and movie consumption put up strong performances. For the consumer sector, we prefer discretionary to staple, and Macau gaming in the discretionary space, given the strong recovery momentum of Macau tourism and moderate hike in opex. Galaxy is our top pick in Macau gaming sector, given its net cash position amid the higher interests. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Li Ning announced to acquire a property in Hong Kong from Henderson Land, which we think is irrelevant to its main business and may deteriorate the company’s financial statements. In our view, the transaction reflects Li Ning’s weak corporate governance. Thus, we cut Li Ning’s target price by 61% to HK$18.80 and downgrade Li Ning from BUY to SELL.

Li Ning is targeting >double-digit revenue CAGR during 2023-28, supported by its strategy to expand into lower-tier markets. While pursuing scale expansion, the company will also make quality growth a key focus, maintaining a healthy inventory level and solving its channel problem. We are in favour of Li Ning’s initiatives, but time is needed to achieve its goals. Maintain BUY and target price of HK$48.80.

Li Ning (2331 HK): Cut full-year revenue guidance to single-digit % gr...
Li Ning’s disappointing 3Q23 business operations can be attributed to distributors’ cross-region and channel sales. Management cut the company’s full-year revenue guidance to single-digit % yoy growth (vs mid-teens % previously), and implied that margins should be under pressure. We think the company will take a long time to strengthen its control on distributors. We cut target price by 10% to HK$48.80. Maintain BUY on its cheap valuation.

During the Golden Week holiday, domestic tourism and catering recovery were on track while duty-free sales recovery was still weak.

Sportswear Sector - Early-October An Entry Point; Anta As New Top Pick
China’s sportswear companies saw improvements in retail sales momentum from August to early-September due to back-to-school demand. Share prices of Chinese sportswear names have corrected by 8-20% since 4 Sep 23 (vs HSI's -8%), and the current valuation is undemanding (14.1-21.5x 2023F PE). Considering a couple of upcoming catalysts, we think early-October is an appropriate entry point for the sportswear sector. Maintain OVERWEIGHT with Anta as our new top pick. • What we learned from Nike’s 1QF...

China Sportswear: 1H23 results wrap-up: Expect better sales growth mom...
Chinese sportswear companies’ modest top-line growth in 1H23 reflected a lukewarm consumption recovery momentum. We expect the sales growth momentum to improve in 4Q23, helped by sportswear companies’ destocking promotions and the low base. Current valuation of China’s sportswear sector is undemanding, which has reflected the capital market’s lowered expectations on sales momentum in 3Q23. We maintain OVERWEIGHT on China’s sportswear sector.

Li Ning (2331 HK): 1H23: Results missed; a tough 2H23 ahead.
Li Ning’s 1H23 results missed expectations, mainly dragged by lower gross margin and higher selling expenses. Though management maintained full-year guidance of mid-teens revenue growth, we think this is challenging for the company amid a lukewarm consumption recovery and its decelerating business expansion. We cut our target price by 18% to HK$54.20. Maintain BUY.

China Sportswear: Local brands to benefit from competitive pricing.
We maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sportswear sector, with this our most preferred subsector in China’s consumer space. In our view, local brands will continue to benefit from their competitive pricing over international brands, given the mass market’s preference for value-for-money products. We are also optimistic on premium brands’ expansion in China, mainly due to the rising popularity of outdoor activities. Top pick: Anta.
