Li Ning (2331 HK): Bearish Thesis Playing Out
- Li Ning (2331 HK) is trading down 18% today due to a bad 3Q23 operational date.
- Retail sales grew by only mid-single-digit yoy, while same-store-sales recorded a mid-single-digit decline yoy.
- Given the operational update, FY23 earnings should be revised down, to likely flat or low-single-digit growth.
