Comment

About La Natsu Bell, previously, Hua Shang Hui had an analysis of La Natsu Bell's plot.

In 2015, La Natsu Bell bought 4 clothing Brand Company, including seven grid, Jack Walker and so on. The acquisition of Xi Chen clothing is La Natsu Bell's first acquisition this year.

Up to now, the number of La Natsu Bell brands exceeds 10, and the number of stores has reached 7893.

According to La Natsu Bell's earnings report, the group's revenue in 2015 was 9 billion 96 million yuan, an increase of 16.4% over the same period last year. The growth of the group's revenue was mainly due to the expansion of the retail network and the rapid growth of the online platform revenue.

La Natsu Bell's ambition was vividly portrayed by his non-stop movements.

It is not hard to speculate that La Natsu Bell will continue to expand strategically and selectively invest in new brands.

How to speed up the integration of online and offline, how to improve the efficiency of terminal, to expand the retail network and enhance the profitability of existing retail outlets to achieve a balance may be the key to La Natsu Bell's future development.

But the downturn in the clothing industry has been going on for many years. In such a case, when it came to Hong Kong, it announced that it would be La Natsu Bell, a Chinese version of ZARA. Its net profit has increased by more than 20%.

Behind the brilliant performance is the decline in the same store sales and the growing inventory.

Summary

As early as the end of last year's inventory, Wah sang Hui had predicted that 2016 would be the new year of mergers and acquisitions.

In the past March, news of mergers and acquisitions of garment enterprises continued, and mergers and acquisitions entered the fast lane and became increasingly fierce.

It is easy to see that after several years of pformation and adjustment, the garment industry has come to a revival. Every sub sector has the potential to become a leading enterprise, and the trend of industry differentiation is getting more and more obvious. The cash reserves of many garment enterprises are quite good, which has created a moist and rich soil for mergers and acquisitions.

Compared with the self innovation brand, the brand that matures and has a certain market reputation will be less risky for the future expansion of the company, and at the same time, it can enrich the company's multi brand camps, which will help the two sides achieve complementary advantages in the channels and brand promotion.

This trend can be seen from the movements of garment enterprises in the capital market in March this year.

However, whether horizontal or vertical mergers and acquisitions in the industry, or the cross-border development of mixed mergers and acquisitions, all need to conform to the development strategy and capital logic of enterprises, and also need to adhere to, optimize and expand the traditional industries of garment enterprises.

With the further reform of the merger and reorganization market, the reorganization and regeneration of resources driven by capital can be expected that the phenomenon of merger and reorganization, pattern differentiation and industrial convergence will become the norm in the future, and the survival of the fittest and the stronger will become the rule of the industry.
