According to Odaily Planet Daily, Pop Mart previously disclosed a major change in shareholder equity, with renowned investor Duan Yongping and H&H International Investment, LLC simultaneously increasing their holdings in the company, becoming the second-largest shareholder and triggering mandatory disclosure requirements. Duan Yongping's purchase of Pop Mart shares is most easily interpreted by outsiders as a bet on Labubu. However, judging from his recent public statements, he seems to truly value Wang Ning and his team's IP operation capabilities. When a netizen asked Duan Yongping in an investor community for his evaluation of Wang Ning, Duan Yongping responded that Wang Ning's understanding and pursuit of his products are "on par" with Jobs, at least in the future; Wang Ning's understanding of business "seems to be slightly stronger than Jobs." Data from Pop Mart's official WeChat account shows that during the reporting period, Labubu joined the 10 billion yuan club, and six other IPs exceeded 2 billion yuan in revenue. Meanwhile, top IPs such as SKULLPANDA, CRYBABY, MOLLY, and DIMOO are also increasing their sales, forming a complete tiered structure. Pop Mart's growth continued in the first quarter of 2026. According to its preliminary first-quarter results, Pop Mart's revenue increased by 75%-80% year-on-year. Regionally, revenue in the Chinese market increased by 100%-105% year-on-year; among which, offline channels saw a 75%-80% increase, while online channels saw a 150%-155% increase. (ifeng)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Jonas Myrdal, prosecutor at the Swedish Economic Crime Agency, believes it is highly likely that a data breach occurred when a news item on the social media platform X regarding Sivers Semiconductors' (SIVE) consideration of a dual listing in the US was leaked prematurely and confirmed by the company in an official announcement approximately 48 hours later. Myrdal points out that the information was posted and continuously promoted on the X platform by an anonymous account with approximately 200,000 followers before its official disclosure, subsequently causing the company's stock price to surge several times over in a short period. This pattern is similar to a previous case involving "pump-and-dump" manipulation, in which three individuals were convicted of serious market manipulation. He further recommends that Nasdaq investigate the incident and assess whether there was any violation of the EU's Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). The source of the leaked information is still under investigation. Previously, "new stock market guru" Serenity posted on the X platform, seemingly recommending Sivers, stating that after further reviewing the latest earnings call from Sivers Semiconductors, he was optimistic about its prospects. The company's management stated that "in a supercycle where demand far exceeds supply, viewing ecosystem partners as competitors is not the right approach," reflecting the current strong demand in the photonics industry. Furthermore, the photonics business pipeline has grown rapidly over the past five months, driving overall revenue growth of 77%. (Marketscreener)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, billionaire investor and founder of hedge fund Third Point, Dan Loeb, stated on a podcast that current market concerns about an artificial intelligence (AI) bubble are severely exaggerated, and the AI industry's development stage is completely different from the dot-com bubble. Loeb pointed out that tech giants including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta have already spent over $700 billion in capital expenditures this year, and this figure may reach $1 trillion next year, with the vast majority going towards AI infrastructure. He stated that not believing these capital expenditures will generate returns is tantamount to thinking these companies are "burning money," but currently these companies are highly profitable, have ample cash flow, and can support their investments with their own balance sheets. Loeb emphasized that this is different from the situation during the dot-com bubble where "valuations were detached from fundamentals," and does not constitute a valuation bubble in the traditional sense. He also mentioned the rapid revenue growth and accelerated product application of AI companies like Anthropic, indicating that the industry is still in its early expansion phase. According to reports, Anthropic's latest funding round has valued it at nearly $965 billion, with annualized revenue jumping from $14 billion to $47 billion, further strengthening market confidence in the commercial potential of AI. However, some investors, including Michael Burry, have expressed concerns about the overheated valuations of AI, believing that massive investments may not yield corresponding returns. Loeb stated, "We haven't even scratched the surface of AI development," and believes we are still in the early stages of long-term growth. (BusinessInsider)
