New Zealand's a2 Milk forecasted weaker annual earnings due to supply-chain disruptions in its China-label infant milk formula business, missing fiscal year 2026 profit expectations and causing shares to drop over 10%. The company projects slower revenue growth for fiscal 2027 and plans to recover lost customers while reducing dependency on the China market.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your supply chain in China just became a bottleneck that cost growth and trust in your brand. You must prioritise diversifying markets and rebuilding customer loyalty before competitors fill the gap.
