1 Mln Labubu! Pop Mart Bubble to "Pop" or Unlimited Potential?

Today, the globally unique 131CM Mint Green Labubu was hammered at 1.08 million rmb!

China has moved far beyond manufacturing cheap toys. Today, it’s creating cultural phenomena like $POP MART(09992)$, whose founder became a billionaire by turning collectible art toys into a global sensation.

While other new consumer stocks in Hong Kong retreated after recent highs, Pop Mart stands firm. Its flagship character Labubu has exploded from Southeast Asia into Chinese households, while newer IPs like Crybaby, Skullpanda, and Hirono gain rapid traction worldwide.

This isn’t a meme stock, gold, or tech giant. It’s a toy retailer’s meteoric rise. Since early 2024, Pop Mart delivered near 10x returns for investors.

Its cultural reach? Massive global Icons including David Beckham, Dua Lipa, Rihanna, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West all love labubu.

The Billion-Dollar Question: Bubble or Growth Story?

Skeptics warn: "When everyone chases a trend, the upside evaporates." Yet bulls counter:

  • Pop Mart leads the art toy market with hypergrowth (106.9% YoY revenue increases)

  • Expanding globally with youth cult-like appeal

  • Forward P/E under 50x—reasonable for a company at this growth stage

Critical debate: Is a 50x P/E ratio a bubble signal? Historically, hypergrowth stocks traded at higher premiums during expansion phases.

Can Pop Mart sustain its magic?

Do you think Pop Mart's bubble is about to burst?

Or do you still believe in its IP incubation capabilities?

    I don’t think pop mart’s bubble will burst any time soon. The love for the dolls are cult-like. It appeals to people of all ages, not just the youth. I’ve colleagues who bought a few and also friends whose mums bought them! The global icons collectively have a massive fanbase and it can be hard to resist being part of the trend. The blind boxes can be addictive. Once you have one and try to get the secret one, it will be a slippery slope down to buying more blind boxes and contributing to the sales profit for popmart. Labubu is the most common but there are other series that others like. As the leading toy maker, as long as popmart can continue to make new toys that capture the masses’ eyes and the trend keeps up, I believe that popmart will maintain its magic. Don’t fight the trend that appeals to the masses. The music only ends when there is a competitor or it’s toys no longer appeal to the masses.

    Everything has its up and down on some days. Hence it depends on whether the investor/trader is FOMO or DYODD. As long as the investor/trader is happy and can sleep well, it is a blessing. [Love you][Heart][USD][Love]🍀🤑

    its popularity exploded when celebrities carried them. perhaps it has become collectable items.

    While other new consumer stocks in Hong Kong retreated after recent highs, Pop Mart stands firm. Its flagship character Labubu has exploded from Southeast Asia into Chinese households, while newer IPs like Crybaby, Skullpanda, and Hirono gain rapid traction worldwide.

    $POP MART(09992)$ continues its hypergrowth (106.9% YoY revenue increases) and expand globally with youth cult-like appeal. Its sustainable IP incubation capabilities propelled it to a super-league toy creator/ retailer. Thanks @Tiger_SG

    Should be a popping mart soon. It's just like previously hello kitty in McDonald's trend. Once is bored and people won't buy it. The stock price is not acceptable of this high level

    老实说,每次走进商场看到泡泡玛特门口大排长龙,我都会多看两眼,心里想:这热度,能持续多久?是不是已经接近“泡沫顶点”?


    但换个角度看,这家公司确实有点东西。


    泡泡玛特的“魔法”其实不只是Labubu一角爆红,而是它打造IP的能力。从Molly到Skullpanda,再到最近的Crybaby、Hirono,每个角色背后都有一套完整的设定和情感投射,让年轻人愿意为“故事”买单,这在传统玩具行业并不常见。这不是盲目的追风,而是审美共鸣加上消费仪式感的结合。


    当然,泡泡玛特也有隐忧,比如IP生命周期管理、市场饱和问题,还有港股估值波动带来的短期压力。但就长期来说,它不像是炒作出来的空壳公司。它在做的,是把“潮流文化”变成“可持续商业模式”。


    所以说,现在不一定是追高的好时机,但我仍然看好它的核心竞争力。泡泡或许会破,但它真正的“魔法”——IP孵化和情绪价值的打造,才刚刚开始释放。

    Bubble obviously… waiting to pop… Pop Mart is a concept that will only take off when the economy is doing well. When recession finally arrives to China and US, essential items like food on the table would be the priority. Occasionally, you might reward yourselves with a cup of bubble tea, etc. Will we still go and buy a Labubu? I doubt so. The rise of Pop Mart also symbolises the rise of the culture of excesses and wants. Yes, the founder has turned those toys 🧸 into “collectible art toys”, however unlike for example a Rolex, one could have replicated those toys 🧸 easily. Having said that, the time is not now when the economy is still in its Goldilocks moment. The time will come when all these come crashing down and people will find out that there’s no one left to buy their “beloved” Labubu… [Facepalm][Spurting]

    $Pop Mart International Group Limited(POPMF)$ For the coming 1 year I believe it will maintain it's strength with strong collaboration, however long term wise, I can't see the hype especially when their popular Labubu is readily available in Europe and UK. (compared to Asia countries)

    Much higher risk to chase the rally now and it could be a bubble burst when the interest wanes and economy not doing well.

    Trends will come and go. If you can make a short term trade and get out at the right time then definitely some good profits to be made
