Here is how Anta Sports Products Ltd. (ANPDF) and Capcom Co., Ltd.
ANTA Sports' strong performance is driven by its flagship Anta brand and the turnaround of Fila, showing resilience in China's consumption downgrade environment. The $290mn acquisition of Jack Wolfskin enhances ANTA's ex-China exposure and offers potential upselling opportunities in lower-tier Chinese cities. ANTA's value-for-money positioning and global expansion strategy, particularly into ASEAN and GCC, are key to its long-term growth amid a weak macro backdrop.
I upgraded ANTA Sports stock to Buy due to strong Q4 2024 performance and increasing market share in China's sportswear sector. Impressive sales growth in Q4 2024, with ANTA brand up HSD and FILA brand turning around with MSD growth. Strong financials enable capital return and investment, including rapid share buybacks, potential M&A, and increased dividend payouts.
With a differentiated DTC-skewed model and diversified multi-brand portfolio, ANTA has consistently delivered robust FCFE generation, best-in-class margins, growth, and inventory turnover regardless of market cycles. It appears as an innocent victim of the tremendous China consumer selloff in the recent 3 years, when it is resiliently growing at mid-teens CAGR with a recent all-time-high net margin. ANTA looks very cheap compared to its peers and deserves a 58% upside, taking into account its top-notch competitive positioning and shareholder value generation capability.
