China's Laopu Gold shares fall despite forecast of tripling profits

Shares of Laopu Gold fell to their lowest levels since May 20 after the Chinese jewelry upstart forecasted its net profit for the first half of 2025 would increase between 279% and 288% year over year, or between RMB 2.23 billion and RMB 2.28 billion ($311.11 million to $318.08 million). The stock, which is up 203.07% for the year to date, rose nearly 4% in early trade, but pared back gains as investors locked in their profits. While shares of Laopu Gold are on course for their ninth straight session of decline, they have skyrocketed by more than 2,000% since their listing last year. The Hong Kong-listed company also reported in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Sunday that its projected revenue for the first half of the year would increase between 241% and 255% from the same period last year. Concerns over rising gold prices and market downgrades in earning expectations have caused the stock to fall from its peak in early July, Morgan Stanley analysts said in a research report on Monday. Citi analysts also attributed the retreat in Laopu's share price to a reset in market expectations and "unwinding fund flow," adding that the stock appears relatively cheap. However, consulting firm Oliver Wyman said that Laopu's earnings are less tied to fluctuations in gold prices, unlike traditional jewelers, due to the designs of its products, which blend ancient craftsmanship with contemporary appeal. The Chinese jewelry brand was founded in 2009 and is popular among younger consumers for its distinctive designs, including ancient coin pendants and lotus motifs. "We believe Laopu's current valuation has become more attractive in the past three weeks despite the company's intact growth story", Nomura analysts said in a report. The Beijing-based company attributed the increase in its top and bottom lines to the brand's expansion online and through offline boutiques. Laopu has boutiques in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and opened its first overseas store at Singapore's Marina Bay Sands in June. Laopu's success contrasts with more tepid consumer spending in China. Affluent Chinese are more negative on the economy than they were during the pandemic, according to a survey released last week by Oliver Wyman. The report found that many respondents are shifting their spending away from luxury goods toward experiences, such as travel. Similarly, Labubu-maker Pop Mart had issued an upbeat profit forecast for the first half of 2025 earlier this month, but initially dropped on the news. Pop Mart shares are up by 175.74% year-to-date. In contrast, shares of Chinese sportswear company Anta have increased by 17.15% so far this year. The company's said in a filing that it achieved "mid-single digit positive growth" for house brand products and "high-single digit positive growth" for Fila-branded products for the first half of this year.

Is now the time to view luxury brands as cheap thrills?

Fear stalks the luxury goods industry which brings us brandy, champagne, baubles, £10,000 handbags and £150,000 watches – not to mention £520 bucket hats for this summer's 1990s style revival, sparked by the Oasis concerts. Shares in industry behemoth LVMH are down by more than 30 per cent over the past 12 months to €472 (£409) as a result of a slump in demand and factors such as the availability of 'super-fake' bags – that can only be distinguished from the real thing by X-ray technology. In April 2023 shares in LVMH, which owns Dior, Louis Vuitton, Moet Hennessy, Sephora, Tiffany, Tag Heuer and 69 other brands, reached €903 (£783). LVMH boss Bernard Arnault became the world's richest man; he's now number eight in the league. A fightback is currently being led by LVMH and the other names in this €364billion (£316billion) industry of gloss and glamour – Burberry, EssilorLuxottica, Hermes, Kering and Richemont – hinting that it may be time to start bargain shopping for luxury goods shares. But the performance of an Asian newcomer suggests that these European players will have to muster all their creativity to regain their lustre. Over the past year, there has been a 928 per cent leap in the shares of Laopu Gold, a Chinese group founded in 2009. The company's jewellery and watches embody 'guochao' – that is, heritage, a quality currently most appealing to Chinese consumers. Since China is the world's largest luxury goods market, this homegrown bling movement is more bad news for LVMH and the rest. It also indicates what Gillian Diesen of Pictet Asset Management calls a shift to 'hard luxury' that is more about lasting quality. Laopu pieces are made of 24-carat gold, a plus when the gold price is forecast to rise further. LVMH and the other European players have already lost about 50m customers worldwide in the past two years as post-pandemic 'revenge spending' has receded against a tough macro-economic background. Tariffs may exacerbate the situation in the US. In the worst-case scenario, management consultants Bain estimates that the sector could shrink by a further 5 to 9 per cent this year. The companies' forthcoming second-quarter results will underline the headwinds they face. But Diesen argues that this will draw attention to luxury goods shares. Investors looking to diversify will conclude that the valuation of some companies is 'untenably low'. Diesen says: 'Despite low short-term expectations, there is little reason to suggest that premium brand spending will not return to its normal long-term average levels of growth, even in China. 'These companies have high gross profit margins, strong balance sheets, plenty of pricing power and long heritage which should see them through more volatile times.' The allure of a £10,000 bag may be lost on you, but you are gambling on the luxury goods sector's ability to adapt and innovate if you have savings in such popular funds as Finsbury Growth & Income and Fundsmith, which hold Burberry and LVMH respectively. The Pictet Premium Brands fund owns EssilorLuxottica, the Ray-Ban sunglasses business, and Hermes. If you want to bet on luxury, here's what you need to bear in mind: WHAT'S GONE WRONG? 'A lack of innovation and excessive price rises' are the key reasons for the travails of the luxury goods groups, says Mamta Valechha, analyst at Quilter Cheviot. Some items are now vastly more expensive. The Lady Dior bag, the style beloved of Princess Diana, costs about 75 per cent more than in 2019, and the largest version is £5,600. Valechha says: 'Many of the aspirational consumers who fuelled the post-pandemic sales explosion are now questioning the perceived value of these goods, with even names such as Chanel finding there is a limit to its pricing ambitions.' The disaffection among Gen Z consumers over pricing has boosted the popularity of 'super-fake' bags, which are said to look the real thing and cost £500 rather than £5,000. LVMH and other companies are trying to catch more of this generation by launching relatively more affordable, entry-level pieces. A £480 Dior travel pouch provides the look for less. There's also that £520 bucket hat for a 1990s Oasis vibe. BURBERRY At this week's annual general meeting chief executive Joshua Schulman pledged to concentrate on those areas where it has 'authority', which is the industry-speak for design flair and pricing power. At Burberry this means a focus on its trenchcoats and other outerwear, including Oasis-style hats and parkas, rather than expensive handbags. Schulman said: 'I'm optimistic that our best days lie ahead.' At 1317.5p, the shares are 21 per cent lower than three years ago but – 75 per cent higher over the past 12 months. Analysts consider it a 'hold'. ESSILORLUXOTTICA This French-Italian company is not only the world's number one manufacturer of spectacles, but also at the forefront of technology with its AI-powered glasses. Such is the potential of these wearable devices that Meta, owner of Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp, has acquired a stake. Shares are €244 (£211.50) but analyst Louise Singlehurst, of Goldman Sachs, has set a target price of €285 (£247). HERMES The €251billion (£217.5billion) French house makes the Kelly and Birkin bags that are a badge of wealth and continue to be deemed to be worth their £10,000-plus price tag. Earlier this year Hermes became, briefly, a more valuable company than LVMH. There are now some questions as to whether it can continue to defy headwinds. Yet, the majority of analysts still reckon the shares – currently at €2,367 (£2,051)– to be a 'buy'. KERING Shares in Kering have tumbled by 16pc since the start of the year and are now about 60 per cent down since 2022. The cause of the French company's woes are the problems at its Gucci and Saint Laurent divisions. But Luca de Meo, the former chief executive of Renault, is taking the top job with a mission to turn around its fortunes. For the moment, analysts are unconvinced he can quickly arrest the decline, which means that these shares represent a gamble on his talents. LVMH Eleven of the analysts who follow LVMH rate it a 'hold', but nine have a 'buy' recommendation, based presumably on the assessment that Arnault will use his considerable ingenuity to revive the business. The 76-year old, known as the 'wolf in cashmere', has always prided himself on a rigorous approach, saying that 'a company, even if it's successful, should be managed as if it could go under within 12 months'. I plan to take a flutter on the basis that Arnault will wish to bow out on a high. His planned retirement age seems to be 85. RICHEMONT This Swiss group is best known for its jewellery 'houses' – Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. These brands were benefiting from the weakness of the yen which encouraged visitors from elsewhere to splash the cash in Japan. Figures this week, however, showed that these purchases had slowed thanks to the strengthening of the yen. But sales elsewhere have been strong, suggesting that shoppers perceive the jewellery to be more of a store of value at present than clothing. If you want to back this trend, the analysts who rate Richemont a 'buy' have set a target price of 224 Swiss francs (£208), against the current 141.8 (£132).

What is Laopu Gold? Its stock soared 2,000% and now it's opened a store in Marina Bay Sands

[SINGAPORE] Up-and-coming Chinese jewellery label Laopu Gold has made waves in the past year with both consumers and investors alike. There has been rapidly rising demand for its offerings – and a stock price that has soared more than 2,000 per cent since its blockbuster Hong Kong listing at an initial public offering price of HK$40.50 last year. Currently, it is at HK$874.50 as at Wednesday's close. Analysts are getting bullish on the stock, and one fund manager has trounced more than 90 per cent of his peers by buying into Gen Z-favoured names such as Laopu Gold. Now, the jeweller is expanding outside of China and has selected Singapore as its first destination, with the opening of its first international boutique at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) marking a key milestone in the brand's ambitious regional expansion strategy. The Singapore store, which has drawn long queues during peak hours, is the first of four planned outside of China, according to Chinese news media. That is as the company positions itself as a serious contender to global names. It plans to open a store in Japan, but the two other locations have not been confirmed. A Bloomberg article in July cited analysts saying that Laopu poses a 'serious threat' to Western luxury brands. The owner of Cartier, Richemont, has warned investors about Laopu's rise, according to reports. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up The Singapore store The Singapore store opened on Jun 21, with its location just outside the MBS casino. Long queues formed during the weeks following its opening. The store features a product selection based on the existing range, with pricing broadly in line with those at stores in China, UOB KayHian analysts noted. It also launched a new Gold Cross series for the store opening, incorporating Christian elements. 'The company's Singapore store recorded a two-hour wait time during peak time, with a higher proportion of local customers compared to the tourist-heavy Hong Kong and Macau stores, according to management,' said Nomura in a note on Jul 3. 'Management highlighted that future design direction remains rooted in Chinese aesthetics with heritage gold craftsmanship, but international designers have also been introduced to elevate the product's premium/international perception,' it added. Unlike the Singapore store, its store in Tokyo will focus on promoting cultural exchange with non-Chinese communities and emphasising finely crafted gold jewellery tailored to local aesthetic preferences, said UOB KayHian analysts. A different kind of gold business What sets Laopu apart is fundamentally its pricing model. Unlike traditional Chinese jewellers that price by weight and link daily pricing to international gold markets, Laopu uses a fixed-price model that factors in design, symbolism and craftsmanship. Its exclusivity is drawn in part from a strategy pulled from the playbook of its Western competitors. Rising gold prices have pushed investors towards bullion and coins, and gold jewellery sales in China fell around 24.7 per cent to 532 tonnes. But Laopu twice raised prices on its designer jewellery. The business again upped prices of these goods by 5 to 12 per cent last month, said a Reuters report. Laopu is eschewing the spot price for gold to which other domestic competitors peg their selling rates, charging a premium for design and branding. Nomura highlighted, citing Laopu's management, that its pricing mechanism involves at least two annual price increases, with no reductions even if gold prices fall. 'Management believes that fixed pricing and its proprietary gold designs... could help decouple product pricing from gold price fluctuations. This, according to management, will help maintain Laopu's gross margin trend in the long term,' said Nomura. Founded in 2009 by Xu Gaoming – then a government clerk in Hainan's fisheries department – Laopu Gold was officially established as a brand in 2016. It focuses on traditional Chinese designs and craftsmanship. Products include jewellery, ornaments, tableware and seasonal gifts, with a strong emphasis on high-end, goldware pieces marketing at luxury-level branding. Laopu's financials A source with direct knowledge of Laopu's business said its annual sales approached 10 billion yuan (S$1.8 billion) in 2024, up from 3.18 billion yuan in the previous year, said a Reuters report. 'Laopu's average store revenue is nearly 300 million yuan, compared with the average single-store revenue of most international jewellery brands in China, which generate around 100 million yuan to 200 million yuan annually,' the source said. Its gross profit margin has also been stable, at above 40 per cent for three years prior to its first-half 2024 review, according to Phillip Securities Hong Kong. A bigger trend? Laopu's rise underscores a larger shift in Chinese brands muscling in on the global scene, such as electric vehicle giant BYD and toy maker Pop Mart. One such brand is Seres Group, an automaker once best known for its 30,000 yuan minivans, which has overtaken BMW and Mercedes-Benz Group to become China's hottest high-end automaker, with its Aito M9 sport utility vehicle taking the title of the country's bestselling car above 500,000 yuan. Another is Mao Geping Cosmetics, a premium skincare brand founded in 2000, which saw its revenue and profit jump more than 30 per cent last year, even as foreign rivals such as L'Oreal struggled with disappointing sales in China, said a Bloomberg report. Chinese brands may have stolen market share from Nike in sportswear and L'Oreal in beauty, but they still struggle to threaten global luxury players which charge a premium for storytelling, heritage and design. While Laopu might have overtaken 96-year-old chain Chow Tai Fook this year, the road ahead is far from easy. Chow Tai Fook has since introduced its own heritage gold jewellery line, and a number of smaller brands are now mimicking Laopu's ornamental approach, intensifying domestic competition. Still, analysts from Nomura note that Laopu's brand-led approach and focus on product innovation places it in a strong position to defend its lead in a crowded and fast-evolving market. Investing in gold While Laopu Gold is more akin to a luxury consumer good, investments in gold can take various forms such as bullions, futures contracts, gold mining stocks such as CNMC Goldmine and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This means that, for example, a Laopu Gold bangle with specific designs is more of an artisan item, while an one-ounce Pamp Suisse gold bar is considered a standard investment product. Securities such as gold ETFs also track the price of gold and are backed by physical bullion held in secure vaults, while Laopu Gold does not. 'Gold ETFs are cost-effective with lower storage and insurance costs, as compared to physical gold, and they come with minimal tracking error, meaning they closely mirror the actual price of gold,' said Dan Chang, trading representative at PhillipCapital, in an interview with The Business Times. As for Laopu assets, their sale (and re-sale) values could vary a bit more independently of gold prices, though there is some correlation. For example, a Laopu Gold necklace could sell for S$2,000 even if the gold content is worth only S$1,300. This is because of the excess value of design and branding, whereas an SPDR Gold Shares ETF directly tracks the price of gold. In another circumstance, reselling a Laopu Gold asset may yield 60 to 70 per cent of its purchase price – unless it is a collectible. Comparatively, selling a gold bar or ETF is more straightforward and transparent to investors due to their value pegged to current gold prices. That said, the steady rise in the price of gold, which currently trades at around double its level in 2022, has given Laopu a boost as buyers see its wares as a place to park their cash amid uncertain times.
