Busy Ming Hong Kong IPO Valuation Analysis

<ul>
<li>The revenue growth being higher than the GMV growth in 25Q1-Q3 indicates that BUSY MING’s control over channels and supply chains as well as its bargaining power are strengthening.</li>
<li>BUSY MING’s business model has a low tolerance for errors. Upstream cost increase, downstream price wars, or decline in operational efficiency would break through the already thin profit barrier.</li>
<li>BUSY MING’s valuation should be lower than Pop Mart, but may be slightly higher or on par with MINISO, and in the same range as Wanchen. 20-30x P/E is acceptable.</li>
