Thoughts on a2 Milk Ltd (A2M)

Hi Market Matters Your latest comment on A2M was on 25/3/25 - "A2M experienced a significant re-rating in Feb after delivering a stellar result. Cautiously Bullish. " A2M reached a high of $9 in March from a low of $5.80 in Feb prior to their results. They have also commenced paying a dividend. It's price has been supported around the $8 region but this week has fallen over 11% (so far) on no news I can see. Currently $7.73. Do you know the reason for this price drop and what is your view on A2M going forward? regards Deb

Answer

Hi Debbie,

a2 Milk (A2M) fell ~12% this week after Citi downgraded the stock from a Buy to Neutral, although they didn’t change their $8.20 PT. The crux of their change was they see A2M facing near-term headwinds due to ongoing supply issues and softening demand in China. The catalyst was a recent profit warning from China Feihe, the country’s largest infant milk formula producer.

China Feihe’s anticipated ~8-10% revenue drop signals persistent weakness in Chinas baby formula demand which has raised fears for peers Yili, and indeed A2M.

Beijing’s pro-birth policies are failing to support the industry putting A2M in the too hard basket for MM at this stage.

Weekend Q&A: A weak US Jobs Report weighs on stocks ahead of reporting season

The ASX200 slipped 0.1% last week after a tough Friday session, but it still ended up 2.3% for July. Earnings season is upon us, and it's already started to exert its force on the market - It's not often you see an ASX200 stock halve in the blink of an eye! We have begun the seasonally weak August-September period for the ASX, and on cue, the index has started to feel a touch soft, although 2-days doesn't make a summer.
