Motley Fool update : A2 Milk Company Ltd
A2 Milk shares are liked by at least four brokers including UBS and Morgans.
The A2 Milk share price is down by around 45% over the last six months.
UBS believes that A2 Milk could benefit from a recovery of sales with infant formula as it reactivates its daigou channel over the next year and a half. The broker also thinks that company could achieve market share gains at Chinese mother and baby stores.
However, whilst there continues to be COVID-19 restrictions for international visitors, combined with disappointing export data, it’s likely that there will be weak infant formula sales for the time being.
A2 Milk itself has admitted to these problems. In the most recent update the company said that the disruption in the daigou channel, which represents a significant portion of the infant nutrition sales in the Australia and New Zealand business, was proving to be more significant and protracted than was previously anticipated.
One problem for the ASX share is that the daigou channel disruption is having a material impact on the cross border e-commerce channel (CBEC). A2 Milk says that the daigou channel plays an important role in stimulating demand across multiple sales channels, including CBEC.
A2 Milk said that it intends to strengthen its focus on reactivating the daigou channel in the second half of FY21.
On the mother and baby store (MBS) front in China, A2 Milk said that this remains very strong – it’s expecting to report revenue growth of 40% from this channel. The 12-month rolling market value share in MBS also continues to increase, it was 2.3% as at the end of October, with increases in both same store sales and the number of new stores in the first half.

Consensus recommendation from 9 brokers : Hold
Mean target price : $13.56 vs $10.97
23% upside potential vs potential 3rd downgrade - hmmmm
So what is it? Will atm keep growing? If so price is surely cheap? Or are recent downgrades indicative of no/low growth going forward but being blamed on covid.
