Where RLX is headed
Two years ago RLX looked like a regulatory casualty. Beijing's 2022 e-vapor rules gutted the domestic market, the stock fell from $35 to under $2, and the consensus view was that this was a structurally broken business waiting to be delisted. That story has aged badly. Revenue is up 107% on a trailing basis, operating margins are back to 16.6%, and the business has rebuilt itself around international disposables under the Feiliu and Phantom brands while the modern oral nicotine line (pouches) starts to scale in markets where combustible tobacco is in secular decline.
