<li>One of the key reasons why we are bearish on this stock (despite cheap valuations) is that the valuations may become even cheaper. </li>
<li>The CCP remains intent on maintaining its ZERO COVID policy which means continued sporadic lockdowns and social distancing measures, which is negative for sports apparel products.</li>
<li>All in all, we believe that a better time to get back into Topsports International is when the CCP becomes more vocal about finally relenting on its ZERO COVID policy. </li>
