UBS raised its Anta Sports target from HKD 104.50 to HKD 108.50 on September 24, 2026, according to Futu. The target revision keeps the stock linked to earnings resilience and Anta Sports' multi-brand expansion.

China demand weighs on sentiment

As Investing.com reported on October 6, 2026, Anta Sports fell 2.00 percent in Hong Kong to HKD 71.80 as concerns over weak Chinese sportswear demand weighed on the sector.

The report linked the pressure to Nike's September 2026 results and a deteriorating competitive backdrop in mainland China. Citi viewed weaker rival inventory conditions as a potential pricing benefit for Anta, but the broader demand signal remains a counter-factor to the UBS valuation case.

First-half growth stays broad

Anta Sports reported CNY 43.51 billion of revenue for the first half of 2026, up 12.90 percent from CNY 38.54 billion in the first half of 2025, according to Anta Sports.

Operating profit margin increased to 27.00 percent from 26.30 percent, while adjusted profit attributable to shareholders rose 12.90 percent to CNY 7.94 billion. Net free cash inflow reached CNY 11.63 billion, up 54.20 percent year on year, giving the growth story a cash-flow component rather than relying only on sales.

The FILA segment delivered revenue of CNY 15.05 billion, up 6.10 percent, and lifted operating profit margin to 28.70 percent from 27.70 percent. Other brands generated CNY 10.69 billion, up 44.20 percent, showing why the multi-brand structure is central to the current investment debate.
