Strategic Hiring
AmericasPop Mart achieved record 2025 revenue growth of 184.7% with significant international expansion (Americas up 748.4%, Europe up 506.3%), but stock fell 20% due to over-concentration on single IP (Labubu representing 40% of revenue) and signs of growth slowdown.

Leadership read: A hiring build-out like this points to deepening the sector executive bench strength over the coming quarters.
