As of press time, Pop Mart was down over 7%. In terms of news, according to a Wall Street News article, the latest financial report shows that for the full year 2025, the group achieved revenue of 37.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 184.7%; net profit reached 13.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 293.3%. However, data shows that the THE MONSTERS family, centered around LABUBU, generated 14.16 billion yuan in revenue for the full year, with a single IP accounting for a significant surge from 23% in 2024 to 38.1% (nearly 40%) of the company's total revenue. Meanwhile, the company failed to demonstrate the support of a second growth curve as expected: the veteran flagship IP Molly only recorded revenue of 2.9 billion yuan, below the market consensus expectation of 4.6 billion yuan; another highly recognized IP, Crybaby, also fell short of expectations. Analyst firms point out that the highly concentrated growth structure puts the company at significant risk when Labubu's popularity wanes and counterfeits spread. At the earnings call after the financial report, Wang Ning, Chairman and CEO of Pop Mart, stated that the company aims for a growth rate of not less than 20% in 2026. Previously, institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Citi lowered Pop Mart's target price, citing earnings guidance below expectations and short-term pressure from slowing overseas growth and a high base. However, they also noted that the valuation has become somewhat attractive after the stock price adjustment. Citi analysts Lydia Ling and others stated that Pop Mart's full-year results were below expectations, mainly due to a larger-than-expected slowdown in the Americas market in the fourth quarter of 2025. Considering the management's cautious earnings guidance, Citi lowered its profit forecasts for fiscal years 2026-2027 by 13-15%. Morgan Stanley analysts Dustin Wei and others stated in their report that Pop Mart's fourth-quarter sales performance and 2026 earnings guidance weakened the confidence of bulls, leading the firm to lower its profit forecasts for 2026-2027 by approximately 4%. Overseas growth may slow down in 2026, but Morgan Stanley believes that the growth model driven by offline channels remains effective. Jefferies analysts Anne Ling and others stated that although the company's sales revenue growth guidance of over 20% for 2026 is below market expectations, Jefferies believes this growth rate is still robust. Despite the impact of a high base, short-term stock price fluctuations may occur, but the company's continuous IP investment has established a solid moat for it. Kuaishou plunged more than 10% in early trading, marking the largest intraday decline since April 7 last year. In terms of news, the company previously released its earnings and expects revenue growth to slow to 4%-4.5% this year; Morgan Stanley lowered its target price. Morgan Stanley analysts Yang Liu and others stated in their report that the revenue of KeLin in the fourth quarter was 340 million yuan, slightly below the firm's expectations. Considering the latest guidance, they lowered their earnings per share forecasts for 2026-2028 by 17%-24%. **09:43** Memory concept stocks collectively adjusted, with Will Semiconductor, Beijing Wideband, and Beijing JLPS leading the declines. **09:37** In early trading, the chemical sector continued its rebound, with Bohai Chemical achieving its second consecutive day of gains, followed by Sichuan Meifeng, Xinhua Chemical, Hungpai New Material, Xinghua Chemistry, and Qixiang Tengda.
