Below-mentioned Infant Formula Stocks have witnessed significant strategic progress in the recent past. Letâs take a look at each of them in greater detail-
Bellamyâs Australia Limited (ASX:BAL)
Australiaâs leading food and beverage company, Bellamyâs Australia Limitedâs (ASX:BAL) shares have witnessed an uplift of 26.80 percent in the past six month as on 23 May 2019. In the recent past, the company has experienced substantial strategic progress. Recently, the company announced that its new Bellamyâs branded series had received approval from SAMR.
In the first half of FY19, the company reported group revenues of $130 million (on a normalised basis), which was lower than the group revenue of $175 million reported in the previous corresponding period, mainly due to delayed SAMR registration, a planned reduction in trade inventory prior to the rebrand, and a slowdown in the category performance.
1H 19 Group Revenue VS PCP (Source: Company Reports)
Based on the 1H19 results and early 2H19 trading update, the company forecasted its revenues for FY19 to be in the range of $275 million to $300 million. Further, the company is expecting FY19 group EBITDA to be 18% to 22% of revenue, reflecting increased investment in marketing and the China team.
The companyâs medium-term outlook remains compelling, underpinned by category fundamentals, companyâs differentiated position and an aggressive three-year growth strategy, targeting $500 million plus revenues by FY21. The company is pursuing a long-term premium brand strategy, targeting a balanced scorecard of volume growth and margin expansion over five years.
The companyâs stock has provided a YTD return of 20.95% as on 23rd May 2019. BALâs shares last traded at $9.100, with a market capitalisation of circa $1.04 billion as on 24 May 2019.
Wattle Health Australia Limited (ASX:WHA)

As per the update published on 23rd May 2019, the company soon is going to begin the installation of concrete panels of the dryer and the evaporator building. In late July 2019, the company will receive the first of the five shipments of dryer/evaporator equipment.
