Pop Mart founder: In the next 6 months, a share buyback plan of 2 to 5 billion yuan will be launched

At last week's Bubble Mart 2026 mid-year performance press conference, Bubble Mart founder Wang Ning stated, "The first half of 2026 is a very special year for Bubble Mart. Despite the pressure and challenges, we have still delivered a satisfactory report card. We achieved over 20% growth in the first half of the year, with significant improvements in our IP matrix and organizational health. The performance of our new amusement park and dessert business exceeded expectations, and the brand's global recognition, favorability, and reputation continue to rise. The management team maintains long-term confidence in the group's future development."

In addition, he stated, "The difficulties this year may be greater than we imagined, but we are confident in overcoming short-term challenges. In the next six months, we will initiate a share repurchase plan of no less than 2 billion yuan and no more than 5 billion yuan, which also proves our increasing confidence in the company's long-term development."
