a2 Milk is a New Zealand consumer health company built on a unique intellectual property position in A2 protein milk β a natural variant that many lactose-sensitive consumers (particularly in China) find more digestible. Its infant formula business in China was severely disrupted by COVID (daigou channel collapse) and has been rebuilding via registered label channels. The China recovery story is the investment thesis: as daigou recovers and registered labels gain shelf space in Chinese pharmacy and offline retail, revenue can return to prior peak levels. NZ and Australia domestic business provides stable cash generation.
