Investors await January's jobless rate, while optimism about travel demand during the Spring Festival provided some support. Tech and consumer stocks led the declines, with major losses from Pop Mart Intl. (-3.3%), Xiaomi (-3.2%), Kuaishou Tech (-3.0%), and Tencent (-2.3%).

Pop Mart, the international art toy brand, faces challenges as its breakout figure Labubu sees a decline in secondary-market prices, while its iconic character Molly celebrates her 20th anniversary. The company’s revenue heavily relies on Labubu, which has experienced significant volatility, contrasting with Molly's steady performance. Despite a surge in revenue from artist IPs, concerns arise over the sustainability of Pop Mart's success, as investors weigh the balance between enduring cultural icons and fleeting viral trends. The company aims to diversify its IP offerings to reassure stakeholders about long-term growth.

- Pop Mart, founded by Wang Ning, initially struggled with brand connection while selling men's suits, leading to insights on the significance of emotional branding.  
- The company now faces challenges balancing the volatile success of its Labubu figure with the steady appeal of its character Molly, as revenue and market dependence shifts.  
- As it expands globally, Pop Mart's strategy focuses on cultivating both breakout IPs and legacy characters, aiming for sustainable growth amid varying market demands.

Singapore is set to regulate "blind boxes" due to gambling risks associated with these mystery products. The authorities plan to standardize disclosures regarding the probability of receiving specific items. This move aims to mitigate gambling inducement risks, as the blind box trend has significantly boosted sales for companies like Pop Mart and Miniso. While the regulations are being drafted, it remains uncertain how they will impact the sales of these popular products. Singapore's approach is more stringent than that of many other countries, including China, which has also raised concerns about similar products.

- Singapore is set to regulate "blind boxes" to address gambling risks associated with hidden product contents, as announced by the home affairs ministry on February 12.  
- Authorities will consider mandatory disclosure of product probabilities to manage gambling inducement risks, as articulated by Coordinating Minister K Shanmugam.  
- The regulation responds to concerns raised in other countries, including China, regarding the potential for these products to encourage gambling-like behaviors, particularly among children.

POP MART's Hong Kong stock has recently surged by 50%, but data from S3 Partners shows that short sellers have not retreated; the short interest as a percentage of free-floating shares has skyrocketed from 2% to 16%, with a short squeeze risk score reaching a perfect 100. Analysts say this is a rare case of "extremely crowded one-sided betting." Despite the company's efforts to boost confidence through buybacks, short sellers continue to bet on expectations of a slowdown in the company's overseas growth, and the market is facing intense short squeeze risk dynamics

- Bubble Mart's stock surged by 50% in less than a month, yet short-sellers continue to grow, leading to a dangerous standoff, with a short squeeze risk rating at the highest level of 100 from S3 Partners.  
- Despite the significant increase in short interest, the stock has not experienced notable short covering, indicating a strong market structure with short positions rising from 2% to 16%.  
- Analysts highlight a divergence in market perception regarding Bubble Mart's growth, with doubts about performance in key overseas markets driving short-seller interest.

Guolian Securities pointed out that POP MART has surpassed the "blind box bubble" stage and is establishing a sustainable IP ecosystem through the Labubu family and new IP matrices like Star People. Its core strategy is global expansion (especially clustering stores in North America) and extending the industrial chain (entering high-frequency consumption scenarios such as baking and jewelry), driving the company to transform from a "super IP" to a Disney-style global evergreen IP group. By 2026, revenue is expected to exceed 51 billion yuan, marking a complete switch in its valuation logic

- An analysis reveals that Pop Mart is evolving from a "blind box" company into a global IP industry chain group, indicating a significant shift in market perception.  
- The company's total revenue is expected to exceed 51 billion RMB in 2026, driven by supply chain management and market expansion into North America and Europe.  
- Additionally, new business lines like POP BAKERY and POPOP are set to enhance IP monetization and customer engagement, supporting a projected 180 billion RMB in adjusted net profit for 2026.
