0204 GMT - Alibaba unit Damai Entertainment's growth could be boosted by robust sales related to Japanese manga series Chiikawa, Citi analysts write in a note. The analysts see strong potential in Chiikawa to become among the top three revenue contributor IP for Damai's subsidiary Alifish. Chiikawa is a popular IP in Japan and Hong Kong, and Alifish has the rights to promote, sub-license, and sell merchandise of Chiikawa in mainland China, they note. Citi expects the series to contribute between 100 million yuan to 200 million yuan in revenue in FY 2026, with potential margin upside after FY 2026. Citi moves Damai's rating to buy from buy/high risk on improving growth prospects, and raises the target to HK$1.40 from HK$0.92. Shares were last at HK$1.19. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
