当红IP Labubu的热度出现回落，市场风声鹤唳，但一份来自投行的分析认为，这或许只是虚惊一场。 对于泡泡玛特的投资者而言，旗下IP Labubu的任何风吹草动都牵动着市场的神经。近期其谷歌全球搜索指数从高点回落5%，引发了对其增长神话能否持 续的担忧。 然而，据追风交易台消息，摩根大通在其最新研究报告中明确指出，这种波动是爆款IP生命周期中的正常现象，而非人气衰退的危险信号。头部IP生命周 期可达数十年，比如米老鼠97年、Hello Kitty 51年，而普通IP仅6-24个月。初期爆火意味着更长生命周期。 这一观点发布的背景是，自7月15日发布强劲的半年度业绩预告以来，泡泡玛特的股价不涨反跌，累计下跌7%，同期恒生指数则上涨3%。市场将此表现 归因于其业绩增幅虽惊人，上半年销售额增长超200%、净利润增长超350%，但仅触及部分买方机构预期的下限。同时，Labubu的转售价格和搜索热度回 落也加剧了投资者的不安。 摩根大通反驳了这种悲观看法。该行分析师Kevin Yin和Yibo Wu在报告中强调，对于一个新晋热门IP，搜索指数是衡量新用户获取速度的有效前瞻指标， 但未必与连续的销售额直接挂钩。一旦品牌 ...
