Reason

The analyst rating from Goldman Sachs is maintained as a "Buy" despite a reduction in the target price from HKD 1.3 to HKD 1.17. The reasoning behind this rating includes the solid results reported by DAMAI ENT for 1HFY26 and the expectation that the company's expansion of licensing resources, particularly from Sanrio into retail and consumer markets, will drive strong growth in the next 6-12 months. However, concerns about the slowdown in the domestic ticketing business, increased investments in international markets, and the company's reliance on Japanese intellectual property amid Sino-Japanese tensions have contributed to stock price volatility.

Reason

The analyst rating from Citi is based on the assessment that the delay of the two Japanese films will have a very limited negative impact on China's overall box office, as Japanese films contributed only 5% to the box office last year. The primary concern is related to market sentiment and investor worries about potential risks to MAOYAN ENT, particularly regarding the possible suspension of its key film "Demon Slayer" if geopolitical tensions escalate. Despite the negative sentiment surrounding the involvement of Japanese IP, the actual impact on DAMAI ENT is expected to be minimal. Consequently, Citi has set target prices for DAMAI ENT at HKD1.4 and for MAOYAN ENT at HKD9.3.

Reason

The analyst rating for DAMAI ENT (01060.HK) is maintained at "Buy" with a target price of HKD1.4 due to a positive profit alert for 1HFY26, where estimated earnings are expected to exceed RMB500 million, surpassing both market and Jefferies' forecasts. This growth is attributed to the strong performance of Alifish and a year-over-year reduction in investment losses, aided by an improved asset structure. Additionally, Jefferies anticipates that investment losses will decrease in 1HFY26, contributing to the better-than-expected results.

Reason

The analyst rating for DAMAI ENT (01060.HK) is positive due to the company's issuance of a profit alert indicating a significant expected increase in net profit for 1HFY2026, projected to be no less than RMB500 million, which represents a year-on-year growth of approximately 48%. This positive outlook is attributed to the strong performance of the Alifish business, which has shown robust revenue and profit growth. Additionally, the presence of popular intellectual properties (IPs) such as Sanrio, Chiikawa, and Crayon Shin-chan is seen as a key driver of current revenue and profit. CICC has maintained its full-year revenue and profit forecasts for the company and has set a target price that implies a 40% upside from the current stock price, further supporting the positive rating.
