What Pop Mart does

Designer-toy company selling collectible blind-box figures such as Labubu through stores, vending machines and online.

Sells figures in sealed boxes where buyers do not know which character they will get, which encourages repeat purchases and trading among collectors. Its biggest characters come from artists it signed to long-term deals, such as Kasing Lung, creator of Labubu. Founder Wang Ning remains CEO and the largest shareholder.

In one line: A Chinese Funko Pop crossed with Beanie Babies, built on IP-driven collectibles.

How has Pop Mart stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -11.0% against -19.2% for the median peer; over one year -36.7%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
