Shares of MINISO Group Holding Limited (NYSE: MNSO) surged 9.17% on Friday, extending the stock's impressive rally over the past month. The Chinese lifestyle retailer has seen its share price climb by a remarkable 28% since early September, as investors react to the company's robust earnings performance and promising growth prospects.

Despite the recent surge, MINISO's valuation appears relatively modest, with the stock currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.9 times, which is considered "middle-of-the-road" compared to the broader U.S. market. This lukewarm valuation comes despite the company's strong earnings growth, with MINISO posting a 108% increase in bottom-line earnings over the past year, even as overall market earnings have declined.

Looking ahead, analysts remain bullish on MINISO's growth prospects, expecting the company's earnings per share to climb by an impressive 21% annually over the next three years. This projected growth rate significantly outpaces the market's forecasted 10% growth rate, underscoring MINISO's potential as a high-growth investment opportunity. However, the market seems to harbor some skepticism about these rosy forecasts, with MINISO's share price failing to fully reflect the anticipated earnings growth.
