Citi and Nomura believe LAOPU GOLD's growth is driven by a combination of store expansion, rising gold prices, and price increases, leading to significantly enhanced profitability. Even if gold prices fall, profits are expected to remain stable with limited downside risk under a pessimistic scenario; ample inventory also means no financing pressure. Meanwhile, brand premiumization is accelerating, with increasing overlap between its customer base and top luxury brands, positioning it as a scarce target for a "truly Chinese luxury brand."

- Lao Pu Gold has released a performance report that exceeded Wall Street expectations, with net profit margins reaching a record high in Q1 2026.  
- The company's revenue is projected between RMB 165 billion and 175 billion, representing over 100% growth year-on-year, driven by new store openings and price adjustments.  
- Analysts suggest limited downside risks in demand despite recent gold price fluctuations, and they maintain a buy rating with target prices implying over 100% growth from recent closing figures.

Laopu Gold: Secondary offering at highs; the gold 'Hermès' bet paid off!---

Lao Pu Gold 2H25 First Take: Overall, H2 results were solid, with revenue and profit both growing rapidly. Ex admin expenses, which were slightly elevated on share-based comp, most metrics were marginally ahead of the Street. On revenue, the company benefited from the gold upcycle and stronger brand reach that broadened its customer base. H2 revenue came in at RMB 14.9bn (+200% YoY). By channel, online share jumped to 20% from 13%, helped by brand spillover and the scarcity of offline stores. Offline, sales rose 176% YoY, with same-store revenue +161%, pointing to throughput-driven growth at physical stores. The company net-added four stores in H2, remaining disciplined on expansion. It prioritized enlarging footprints and optimizing locations at existing stores. While management no longer breaks out the mix between plain gold and gold-inlay categories, channel checks suggest the share of higher-margin inlay products continued to rise in H2. This followed a dense slate of launches in the gold-inlay series. With gold prices surging through H2, GPM compressed 3.8ppt to 37.2% as price hikes in Aug and Oct lagged bullion. On opex, operating leverage drove modest declines in selling and G&amp;A ratios. Net profit reached RMB 2.6bn (+194% YoY), beating the Street; for more detail and the earnings call readout, stay tuned for Dolphin Research's follow-up review and transcript. $LAOPU GOLD(06181.HK)

Lao Pu Gold (Minutes): Store efficiency ranks first in single-store revenue in Chinese malls

On the afternoon of August 20th, Beijing time, Lao Feng Xiang (6181.HK) released its H1 2025 performance. As the company had previously disclosed a profit forecast, the actual performance, in terms of both revenue and profit, approached the upper limit of the guidance, making it a fairly good performance. The specific highlights are as follows:

Lao Pu Gold: Gold Prices 'Cool Down', Can the 'Hermes of Gold' Still Be Trusted?

Lao Pu Gold 1H25 Quick Interpretation: Overall, Lao Pu's performance in the first half of the year was quite good, with both revenue and profit reaching the upper limit of the pre-announced growth forecast. Apart from sales expenses slightly exceeding market expectations, all other indicators generally surpassed expectations. In terms of revenue, benefiting from the upward cycle of gold and the continuous enhancement of Lao Pu's brand power leading to customer base expansion and market penetration, Lao Pu's performance in the first half of the year remained in a state of accelerated growth, achieving revenue of 12.35 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 251%. By channel, with Lao Pu's ongoing promotion and influence on social media platforms (Xiaohongshu, Douyin) in the first half of the year, the proportion of online platforms slightly increased by 2 percentage points to 13.1%, while offline stores remain the primary sales channel. Regarding store opening pace, as of the first half of the year, Lao Pu opened 5 new stores, accelerating compared to the same period last year. Additionally, in June, Lao Pu opened its first overseas store in Singapore, marking the company's official start of global expansion. In terms of product structure, although Lao Pu canceled the disclosure of the specific proportion of pure gold and pure gold inlaid categories, based on research information, the proportion of Lao Pu's high gross margin category, pure gold inlaid products, continues to increase. Regarding gross margin, due to the surge in gold prices in the first half of the year, although Lao Pu raised prices once in February, the price increase range (between 5%-12%) was less than the increase in gold prices (around 24% in the first half of the year), resulting in a year-on-year decrease in gross margin by 3.2 percentage points to 38.1%. On the expense side, with the release of operating leverage, both the sales expense ratio and management expense ratio significantly declined, ultimately achieving a net profit of 2.27 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 286%, with net profit margin increasing by 1.7 percentage points to 18.4%. For detailed information and related judgments, please follow Dolphin Research's subsequent financial report commentary and conference call minutes. $LAOPU GOLD(06181.HK)

The US imposed a 39% tariff on imported gold bars, sparking a rally in gold stocks, with Lao Feng Xiang rising nearly 4% again. The semiconductor sector was dragged down by SMIC's Q2 net profit plunging 19%, with most stocks falling.
