Laopu Gold Store Sales Fall by Mid-Double Digits as Shares and Bullion Slide

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 16

Summary

  • March-to-May sales at Laopu Gold’s physical stores dropped by mid-double digits from a year earlier, signaling a sharp cooling in demand for the premium jewelry brand.
  • BigOne Lab data analyzed by Bloomberg showed the decline, adding fresh evidence that the company’s earlier breakout momentum is fading.
  • Laopu Gold’s weakening sales come alongside a slump in its share price and a broader selloff in gold, a combination that is deepening investor concern over the brand’s trajectory.
  • The pullback marks a reversal for one of China’s hottest consumer names, with pressure now coming from both softer retail performance and a less supportive bullion market.
