Why the MINISO LAND launch matters for MINISO Group Holding

Most Popular Narrative: 59.8% Undervalued
Against a last close of $10.23, the most followed valuation story on MINISO Group Holding pins fair value at $25.46, which implies a steep gap that the narrative treats as mispricing rather than just noise.
Based on the company's stated strategy and growth trajectory, it's reasonable to assume significant revenue growth over the next five years. A projection can be built on three pillars:
• Store Network Growth: Management targets 900-1,100 new stores in 2024 alone. Assuming a conservative, slightly moderating pace of approximately 800 net new stores per year for the next five years, they could add around 4,000 stores to their network, reaching nearly 10,000 stores globally. The majority of this growth will be in higher-revenue overseas markets.
See why 58 investors see MINISO Group Holding as 60% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of $25.46 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the bullish MINISO narrative depends on significant store expansion and IP-driven product bets not going wrong, since weak new openings or misjudged IP deals could quickly pressure earnings and sentiment.
