Consumer stocks are currently experiencing a period of significant pessimism, which some analysts suggest could signal a buying opportunity. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that the negative sentiment surrounding these stocks might indicate a potential rebound.

Meanwhile, Pop Mart International saw its shares plummet by as much as 23%, marking an 11-month low and the largest drop in that period, with trading volume increasing fourfold to a record high of 24.4 billion yuan.
