MINISO Group Holding Limited (MNSO) saw its stock price plummet by 6.45% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, continuing a downward trend observed in recent days. This sharp decline comes as investors grapple with concerns over the company's valuation metrics compared to industry peers.

The sell-off appears to be fueled by a recent value stock analysis that placed MINISO at a disadvantage when compared to competitor Canada Goose (GOOS). According to a report by Zacks Investment Research, MINISO currently holds a less favorable Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), while Canada Goose boasts a stronger #2 (Buy) ranking. This disparity suggests that Canada Goose has demonstrated a more robust improvement in its earnings outlook, potentially making it a more attractive investment option.

Further exacerbating MINISO's challenges are key valuation metrics that trail behind its competitor. The company's forward P/E ratio of 12.09 is notably higher than Canada Goose's 9.09, indicating that MINISO might be overvalued in comparison. Additionally, MINISO's P/B ratio of 3.59 significantly exceeds Canada Goose's 2.08, reinforcing the perception of MINISO as the less attractive value proposition. As investors reassess their positions in light of these unfavorable comparisons, the pressure on MINISO's stock price appears to be intensifying, resulting in the significant pre-market decline.
