Guidance Highlights and What Is Driving MINISO Group Holding Now

MINISO Group Holding (MNSO) has issued earnings guidance for the six months to 30 June 2026, flagging higher revenue, operating profit and net profit expectations compared with the same period a year earlier.

Management projects revenue of RMB 11,450 million to RMB 11,550 million, operating profit of RMB 1,620 million to RMB 1,660 million and profit for the period of RMB 940 million to RMB 960 million. The company also expects basic and diluted EPS of RMB 0.78 to RMB 0.79.

The guidance identifies an unrealized mark to market gain of about RMB 277 million from an investment in a limited partnership focused on the AI industry as a key contributor to operating profit. MINISO Group Holding also points to roughly RMB 60 million of earnings contribution from its stake in Yonghui Superstores.

These gains are set against several cost and loss items that management highlights in the guidance. Investors may want to consider these moving parts when evaluating the outlook for MINISO Group Holding shares.

Most Popular Narrative: 56.7% Undervalued

According to the most followed narrative on MINISO Group Holding, a fair value of $25.46 sits well above the last close at $11.02, which frames the recent guidance against a sizeable implied gap.

Given these factors, it would not be unreasonable to see revenue more than double in the next five years, potentially reaching the RMB 25-30 billion range, driven primarily by the compounding effect of overseas store expansion and enhanced store productivity.

Assuming revenue doubles and the adjusted net margin expands from its current ~16-17% level to around 20% due to these factors, adjusted net earnings could potentially triple over the next five years.

Curious how those moving parts connect and what is assumed to happen along the way? The full breakdown lays out the numbers behind that $25.46 figure and how they compare to today.

Result: Fair Value of $25.46 (UNDERVALUED)
