Duan Yongping, widely recognized as the "Chinese Warren Buffett," said on Apr 10 that he has begun building a position in Pop Mart via put options, describing it as an “insurance-style” strategy to earn premiums while accumulating shares at lower prices if the stock falls. Duan said Pop Mart’s latest earnings sparked strong interest, prompting several days of research. He noted he previously found the business interesting but uncertain in profitability and sustainability, while the recent results changed his view. He also said he has “rarely felt this level of excitement in a long time,” and added that he plans to gradually increase exposure over time depending on price and further research. Pop Mart last up 6% in Hong Kong.
