      Pop Mart's Pullback: Temporary Cool-Off

      The recent slide in Pop Mart's $POP MART(09992)$ share price has collectors and investors alike asking: Has the bubble burst on China's hottest toy phenomenon? While bears point to valuation concerns, a closer look reveals this dip may be nothing more than profit-taking in a still-red-hot market. The fundamentals tell a different story – one where Labubu's cultural dominance is far from peaking, and where the upcoming earnings report could reignite the rally.

      $POP MART(09992)$ has taken the collectibles world by storm, and its flagship character, Labubu, is leading the charge. With a human-sized Labubu figure fetching $150,000 at auction and the company’s stock hitting a record high of HK$269.80 in Hong Kong, Pop Mart’s valuation has soared to a jaw-dropping $34 billion—surpassing the combined worth of Barbie, Hello Kitty, and G.I. Joe. But as the Labubu frenzy grips fans worldwide and new IPs like Crybaby, Skullpanda, and Hirono gain momentum, the big question looms: Is Pop Mart’s bubble about to burst, or does its IP incubation prowess signal unlimited growth ahead?

Pop Mart isn't simply riding the “Labubu mania.” What many overlook is that the company is actively building a multi-IP entertainment platform with licensing optionality.

      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.

      Why Consumers Love Pop Mart, Mixue, and Laopu Gold?

      Recently, three standout “new consumption” companies listed in Hong Kong—Laopu Gold, Pop Mart, and Mixue—have significantly outperformed the broader market. Laopu Gold has skyrocketed over 210% year-to-date, Pop Mart has gained 150%, continuing its strong performance from last year, and Mixue is up 99%, sparking a rally in other beverage-related stocks. At a glance, these businesses appear to be operating in unrelated sectors—Laopu Gold in jewelry, Pop Mart in collectible toys, and Mixue in budget-friendly beverages. However, beneath the surface, they all tap into a common theme: offering high emotional value relative to price. In an age of increasingly discerning consumers, this “cost-performance” in emotional gratification has become a new frontier in consumer behavior. 1. Pop Mart: The
