Pop Mart International Group Ltd. undertook its largest buyback ever in a move to bolster confidence after a record stock plunge spurred by concerns over its reliance on Labubu dolls for growth. The toymaker bought back 3.94 million shares for HK$599.7 million ($76.6 million) on Thursday, according to a Hong Kong stock exchange filing . The purchase marks Pop Mart’s third buyback this year, after scooping up a total of HK$347 million worth of shares in January that helped fuel a nearly 50% rally in the stock through mid-February. The move comes after earnings results drove an unprecedented two-day drop of 31% in the company’s Hong Kong-listed shares through Thursday that wiped out $11 billion from its market capitalization. Analysts have since cut price targets and downgraded their outlooks, citing signs of slowing overseas momentum and growing dependence on the Labubu franchise. The buyback helped stabilize sentiment on Friday, with shares rising as much as 4.1%. Still, bearish positioning on the stock remains high, with short interest at 16.8% of free float, near the highest level since late 2022, according to S3 Partners data.

“你能想得到么,上个月这个时候当地媒体对展会的宣传语还是‘How Can Prevent Oil Pollution(如何防止石油污染)’,等我们来了才发现,现在口号已经改成了‘How Can Avoid Oil Crisis(如何防止石油危机)’了。” 周二晚上临睡前刷好友圈,正看到了一位在南方某整车品牌海外业务部门工作的朋友,晒出了一条带着南非约翰内斯堡定位的动态。攀谈之后方知,这位老弟是去参加“EV & Charge Live Africa 2026”了,名字翻译过来就是南非国际新能源电动车及充电桩展览会。 图丨老实说,非洲地区搞“减/零排”,笔者以为多少有些抽象,但对于如南非、埃及、摩洛哥等具有一定工业基础的国家来说,也算是必要吧 “这么说来,现在的情况对你们搞新能源汽车的极端利好啊!”笔者想当然地来了一句,但立即遭到友人的纠正—— “在南非本地市场也许(是这样),但在(整个)非洲并不具普遍性……就算油价翻几倍,大多数非洲国家还是只能油车,还是二手车。”毕竟,沙哈拉沙漠以南有无法获得稳定供电的人口有6亿规模。 “孑立”的南非市场 2024年2月末,长城汽车在南非约翰内斯堡召开了一场发布会,专门宣告其坦克300车型在“彩虹之国”上市的消息。长城不是笔者的条线,但相关新闻中有一句话却很难不引起人的关注——2024年是长城汽车进入南非市场的第十七个年头。 图丨2024年2月,坦克300“彩虹之国”发布会现场照片 注意到这一点后,我去查了一下资料,确认了长城汽车早在2007年就以皮卡车型,涉足这片地球另一端的市场,并年复一年坚持深耕。在近二十年时间里,其先后引入哈弗H6以及后来的长城炮系列等更具竞争力的产品。 与长城同一年登陆南非的,其实还有吉利和奇瑞。但这三家自主品牌登陆的时机并不算好。 以北京奥运会前后的视角来看,中国汽车当时只是通过合资模式的技术引进与自我学习,基本学会了怎么造车。但受制于历史积累以及创新能力,无论技术还是品牌价值都逊色于在当地深耕的欧日品牌。在很长一段时间里,长城、奇瑞和吉利只能依靠价格优势,在当地缓慢扩大影响力。 也因为上述原因,吉利和奇瑞终归是没能熬住。分别在2014年与2018年宣布退出南非市场。但后者又在2021年11月的时候,借着Tiggo4 Pro(瑞虎5X)这个具有竞争力的新产品,杀了个回马枪。 图丨2021年11月,短暂退出南...
