0547 GMT - Anta Sports Products is poised to drive growth through its new superstores, China Galaxy International says in a research report as it maintains the stock's add rating. The Chinese sports-equipment company launched its first "Super Anta" store in April and targets opening 50 such stores by end-2024, analyst Lei Yang notes. These larger stores, which offer more value products than its regular stores, have achieved better sales per store, the analyst adds. However, the brokerage trims its 2024-2026 EPS forecasts for the company by 0.5%-0.7% to reflect weak Fila brand sales. It cuts the target price to HK$116.00 from HK$117.00. Shares are 7.0% lower at HK$93.10. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
