MIXUE Group IPO: The Leading Player that Justifies a Premium
- Mixue Group (MIX HK) has a whopping market share of 32.7% in 2023, based on number of cups sold. It also has the highest profit in the sector.
- With a strong profit record and net cash, it is a leader that captures industry growth. Its extensive network targets low-tier cities’ potential and the franchise model drives expansion.
- It justifies trading on a premium to sector average PER of 19.6x for FY25. If aligning P/B with ROE on the best-fit line, it should be priced at 5.1x pre-money.
