Labubu maker Pop Mart shares fall after sales drop in Asia, Americas
Pop Mart shares dropped over 4% following a report of declining sales in the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions. Despite overall revenue growth, the company faces significant operational challenges and increased competition, leading analysts to lower their growth expectations for 2026.

For the period ended in June 30, the toy maker reported a 23.8% year-over-year rise in first-half revenue to 17.17 billion yuan ($2.55 billion). But the growth was unequal: in Asia Pacific ex-China it fell 9.7%, and dropped 16.5% in the Americas. Revenue in China, meanwhile, jumped 47.3%.
