0411 GMT - Pop Mart International's sales growth likely faced some downward pressure toward the end of 2025, Deutsche Bank analyst Sammi Xu says in a research note. "Our analysis of the transaction price on secondary trading platforms reveals a continuous softening trend, likely attributable to diminished scarcity of existing collections after significant sales volumes in 2025," Xu says. Secondary-market prices serve as a key indicator of an IP's supply-demand dynamics. The pressure is obvious as Labubu collection has become easy to buy in Pop Mart's physical stores in mainland China and Hong Kong, Xu says. Deutsche Bank has a hold rating on Pop Mart with a target price of HK$228.00. Shares are 2.5% lower at HK$192.10.(tracy.qu@wsj.com)
