The HSI was flat in Dec 23 but the MSCI China fell 2.6% mom. Despite the announcement of new policy support and prospects of US rate cuts in 2024, investors sold into strength following weaker macro data. With MSCI China trading at 9.0x 12-month forward PE, we expect most negatives to have been priced in. We add the potential beneficiaries of the CNY festival − Galaxy Entertainment and Trip.com − to our BUY list, but include SELL calls on BYD and Geely due to the subsidy cut.
Anta’s management is confident that the company will achieve its full-year sales targets. Sales momentum turned better in Nov 23, with the Anta brand and FILA both achieving double-digit retail sales growth in Nov 23. Despite the headwind of industry destocking, discounts still remain stable and even improved for FILA. Management also has a positive tone for 2024, given more new products being launched. Anta remains our top pick. Maintain BUY and target price of HK$128.00.
