Pop Mart's Stock Skyrockets: Launch of Mini Labubu Dolls

The shares of Pop Mart, a prominent Chinese toy company, experienced a remarkable ascent of 11% following the announcement of the Mini Labubu Doll series, fueling optimism about the company's potential for global growth.

In a recent statement, Pop Mart's CEO, Wang Ning, revealed plans for the introduction of the mini Labubu dolls, which sent the company's stock soaring by 11%. This move is seen as a significant indicator of the company’s bright future prospects.

In the wake of this announcement, Pop Mart's stock surged to HK$310.60 (approximately ₩55,706) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This leap represents the most significant one-day increase in four months, achieving a record high since the company went public in December 2020.

Wang expressed his views by saying, "With the global demand for Labubu collectibles reaching unprecedented levels, even I found it difficult to precisely predict our revenue growth. Initially, our target was an annual revenue of CNY 20 billion (around ₩3.89 trillion), but now reaching CNY 30 billion (approximately ₩5.84 trillion) seems quite feasible." He also mentioned that the mini Labubu dolls might hit the market as soon as this week.

The enthusiastic reaction from investors highlights the mounting interest in Pop Mart’s range of collectibles, alongside the prospects of its further expansion on the international stage.
