<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>

China Tourism Group Duty Free Corp Ltd (601888 CH) has revived its H-share IPO plan by re-submitting the Application Proof to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 1 Jul. 
While there is no material changes in the Proof, weaker 1Q22 result, negative impact of pandemic and new agreements signed with Guangzhou Airport are recent developments that should be noted.
We think CDFC's H-shares, based on similar valuation before cancellation of the previous IPO plan, look less attractive given the sharp pull back of its peers in Hong Kong.
