The stock, which has surged over 12% in the past week and boasts a market capitalization of $6.76 billion, currently trades at $22.17. According to InvestingPro analysis, Miniso shows strong financial health with an overall score of "GREAT."
The upgrade follows Miniso’s better-than-expected second-quarter 2025 operations, with same-store sales turning positive in China and the resumption of new store openings during the quarter.
Miniso has increased its 2025 sales guidance to 25% growth from the previous 22.8% forecast, reflecting confidence in its expansion strategy in the Chinese market.

Jefferies cited earnings upgrades and lower beta as key factors in its more bullish outlook, noting that market concerns about YH’s impact are now fully reflected in the stock price.
