MINISO Group Holding (MNSO) has drawn fresh attention after reporting record quarterly revenue above RMB 6 billion, along with a new dividend policy, a declared final dividend, and continued global store expansion despite a quarterly net loss.

Despite the strong revenue headline and updated dividend policy, the stock has been under pressure, with a 90 day share price return of 17.6% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 8.29%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 3.81% suggests only modest longer term gains so far.

With the share price down over the past year despite record revenue, buybacks and a higher dividend commitment, should investors see MINISO as undervalued today, or has the market already priced in its global growth story?

Most Popular Narrative: 41.6% Undervalued

Bejgal’s widely followed narrative places MINISO’s fair value at $27.52 versus the last close of $16.06, framing a sizable valuation gap for long term holders to consider.

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.

This narrative is not just betting on more stores. It hinges on a mix of faster overseas growth, higher margin products and a richer earnings profile. It also explores which detailed revenue and profit assumptions support a fair value well above today’s share price, and how the projected profit multiple ties it all together.

Result: Fair Value of $27.52 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this depends on smooth global expansion and successful super stores. Any geopolitical setbacks or weaker overseas demand could quickly challenge the optimistic case.
