  • Driven by top-tier licensed IPs, 52TOYS achieved solid growth, but its revenue scale/profit margin are inferior to peers. Due to intense competition, 52TOYS’s market share may be further squeezed.
  • The post-money valuation after Series C+ Financing is RMB4.27 billion. Based on the analysis, we think valuation of 52TOYS should be lower than Pop Mart (9992 HK), Bloks (325 HK).
