摩根大通认为，泡泡玛特的基本面并未改变，反而更加强劲，而市场的恐慌提供了一个绝佳的配置时机。 追风交易台消息，10月15日摩根大通发表研报，将泡泡玛特评级从"中性"上调至"增持"，目标价从300港元上调至320港元。这一调整主要基于两大关键因素: 一是热门IP持续强劲 二级市场的价格是衡量IP热度的晴雨表。 数据显示，10月9日发售的万圣节"Why So Serious"毛绒系列中，Labubu款在二手市场上的转售价格溢价高达290%。 此外，公司计划于12月发布"Labubu & Friends"动画，并于2026年3月或4月推出Labubu 4.0，这些都将成为未来增长的催化剂。 二是估值吸引力显著提升 。股价较8月高点回调24%，而同期恒生指数上涨7%，当前按摩根大通预测仅20倍2026年市盈率，风险回报比更具吸引力。 研报强调泡泡玛特不仅通过Labubu的持续火爆和"星星人"的成功证明了其并非依赖单一IP，更通过全球化布局和强大的定价权展现了其抵御外部风险的能力。 根据摩根大通的观察，即便公司已将Labubu的产能相较于2025年第一季度提升了整整10倍，其Labubu 3.0和Mini Labubu ...
