Puma Has Growth Opportunities in China -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-04 17:39

0937 GMT - Puma seems to have a potential major growth opportunity in China in the medium term, analysts at Citi say in a note. Earlier this year, Anta Sports--China's biggest sportswear brand--agreed to acquire a stake in the German company for $1.79 billion, making it the biggest shareholder. The deal should boost Puma's sales growth trajectory above current consensus estimates for next year and 2028, they say. The analysts also see scope for gross margin expansion, despite headwinds from sourcing and freight. Citi assumes Puma's return to profitable growth in 2027, in line with the company's guidance. Citi upgrades its rating on the company to buy from neutral. Shares are up 5.8% at 27.98 euros. (andrea.figueras@wsj.com)
