Li Ning on Smartkarma

Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, has recently been buzzing with analyst coverage on Li Ning (2331 HK), a Chinese sportswear company. According to Steve Zhou, CFA, the founder and biggest shareholder of Li Ning, Mr. Li Ning, is considering privatizing the company. However, Arun George believes that the probability of an offer is low due to funding challenges, but also notes that the company is currently trading at an undemanding valuation. Meanwhile, David Blennerhassett suggests that Li Ning could potentially be a value trap play, but also mentions that the company’s shares have been on the rise since the news of a potential privatization. In another report, Blennerhassett highlights recent CEO and director dealings in Li Ning, raising questions about the company’s corporate governance. Despite the uncertainties, Li Ning continues to trade at a relatively low valuation of 11x forward earnings.
