The preliminary H1 results show strong top-line momentum but deteriorating core profitability (adjusted net profit down YoY). Watch the August 28 earnings call for clarity on margin trajectory, store-level economics, and the sustainability of the AI investment gain. The adjusted net profit decline is a key negative signal that may weigh on the stock near-term.

Executive Summary
MINISO Group released preliminary H1 2026 financial results via a 6-K filing, guiding for revenue of approximately RMB11.45B to RMB11.55B (22-23% YoY growth) and operating profit of RMB1.62B to RMB1.66B (5-7% YoY growth). However, adjusted net profit excluding FX and non-recurring items is expected to decline 1-3% YoY, and the headline profit growth was significantly boosted by a ~RMB277M unrealized mark-to-market gain from an AI investment. The cross-filing context includes a prior bullish 20-F annual report, but this preliminary update reveals underlying margin pressure that tempers the outlook.
Key Facts
- Revenue guided to RMB11.45B–11.55B for H1 2026, up 22-23% YoY from RMB9.39B.
- Operating profit guided to RMB1.62B–1.66B, up 5-7% YoY from RMB1.55B.
- Profit for the period guided to RMB940M–960M, up 4-6% YoY from RMB906M.
- Adjusted net profit excluding FX and non-recurring items guided to RMB1.21B–1.23B, down 1-3% YoY from RMB1.24B.
- Operating profit growth was driven by a ~RMB277M unrealized mark-to-market gain from an AI investment, partially offset by higher selling/distribution expenses and a ~RMB142M net FX loss.
- Profit growth was also supported by ~RMB60M equity pick-up from Yonghui Superstores investment.
- Basic EPS guided to RMB0.78–0.79, up 5-7% YoY; diluted EPS up 6-9% YoY.
- Board meeting and earnings release scheduled for August 28, 2026.
Financial Impact
Revenue growth of 22-23% YoY to ~RMB11.5B, but adjusted net profit declining 1-3% YoY to ~RMB1.22B, indicating core margin compression.
Risk Factors
- Core adjusted net profit declining 1-3% YoY despite 22-23% revenue growth suggests structural margin pressure.
- Profit growth heavily reliant on non-recurring/unrealized gains (RMB277M AI investment mark-to-market) and equity pick-up from Yonghui (RMB60M).
- Higher selling and distribution expenses, net FX loss of ~RMB142M, and increased finance costs from lease liabilities are compressing margins.
- Losses from fair value changes of Equity Linked Securities and TOP TOY preferred shares add further earnings volatility.
