Citi Anticipates Minimal Effects on DAMAI ENT from Rising CN-JP Geopolitical Tensions
Geopolitical Tensions: Rising tensions between China and Japan have led to the delay of two Japanese films, "Crayon Shin-chan: The Hot Kasukabe Dancers" and "Cells at Work!", as reported by Citi.
Limited Box Office Impact: Despite the delays, Japanese films accounted for only 5% of China's box office last year, suggesting minimal actual impact on overall box office revenue.
Market Sentiment Concerns: The delays may affect market sentiment, particularly regarding investor worries about MAOYAN ENT's potential suspension of the film "Demon Slayer" if tensions worsen.
Target Prices Set: Citi has established target prices for DAMAI ENT at HKD1.4 and MAOYAN ENT at HKD9.3, indicating a cautious outlook amidst the geopolitical climate.
