Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Subject to supply chain normalisation and no further adverse update with respect to current product recall, demand in China remains solid and we see material upside from current share price levels.
- Potential to win further market share in Australia and China. Growing consumer demand for health and well-being globally.
- Demand growth in China for ultra-premium infant formula products. YNZ acquisition will allow A2M to increase its CL products.
- New product development – A2M has accelerated innovation with the Company launching new products in IMF and other nutritional categories targeting infants, kids and senior segments.
- Key patents provide a barrier to entry.
- Capital management – dividend policy plus potential for special dividends (cash on balance sheet above $1bn with little debt).
Key Risks
- Further supply chain disruptions due to tensions in the Middle East.
- Product recall spreads to other regions after further testing.
- Execution risk – especially with the recent supply chain investment.
- Management fails to meet their $2bn sales guidance.
- Chinese demand underperforms market expectations.
- Disruption to A2 milk supply.
- Increased competition, including private labels & competitors developing products or branding that erode the differentiation of A2M branded products from other dairy products.
