Xin Lang Cai Jing·2026-02-10 12:39Core Viewpoint - Pop Mart announced that by 2025, global sales of all IP and product categories will exceed 400 million units, with THE MONSTERS category alone exceeding 100 million units [1]. Group 1: 2025 Growth Analysis - The company experienced a typical "single super IP + category breakthrough" growth, with revenue expanding nearly threefold year-on-year, driven primarily by Labubu's global popularity and significant monetization efficiency from plush toys [1][3]. - HSBC's analysis indicates that revenue from The Monsters (Labubu) is expected to grow approximately 582% year-on-year, contributing an estimated 47% to total revenue, while plush toy revenue is projected to grow about 720%, contributing 60% [3][10]. - Excluding the contributions from The Monsters and plush toys, the company still anticipates a revenue growth of approximately 106% and 51% respectively, indicating that the existing business is not stagnant [10]. Group 2: 2026 Projections - HSBC predicts that the "rush-to-buy" effect will fade, normalizing the ARPU of repeat members, which will shift growth back to a standard retail expansion model. Consequently, revenue growth forecasts for 2026 have been adjusted down from 30.6% to 23.7% [4][11]. - The company expects PRC revenue growth of about 13.0% and overseas growth of approximately 35.7% in 2026, with the latter serving as a buffer against domestic ARPU declines [12]. Group 3: Valuation and Future IP Development - HSBC believes that the market has already begun to price in the "Labubu lifecycle risk" through valuation compression, with a significant drop in forward PE ratios despite a 394% increase in one-year forward EPS since early 2025 [13]. - UBS highlights the strong initial performance of the new IP Twinkle, with significant sales figures during key promotional periods, indicating potential for future growth [13][14]. - Both HSBC and UBS view upcoming data as critical validation points for assessing performance in both domestic and international markets, particularly in the U.S. [14].
