Goldman Sachs released a research report, reaffirming a "buy" rating on MNSO (09896) with a target price raised from HK$50 to HK$54. It is expected that MNSO's sales in the fourth quarter of last year will increase by 25% year-on-year to RMB 4.79 billion. The overseas market is on track to achieve a 45% to 50% year-on-year growth, in line with the company's earlier guidance. The bank expects MNSO's revenue to grow by 22% this year, with a slight expansion in operating profit margins, supported by cost savings in the overseas direct sales market.
