Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 28% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 21, 2025
Shares jumped on much heavier trading after the company beat profit expectations, started its first dividend, and increased its share buyback - clear signs management is confident. Buyer interest remains strong. China policy and market rules still add risk, so consider buying dips near the recent average price over the next 0-3 months as user growth and hiring recover, with dividends and buybacks helping hold the price up.
Primary drivers
- Profit per share beat expectations even though sales came in a bit light
- Company announced its first-ever cash dividend, sharing profits with investors
- Share repurchase plan increased to $250M, likely lowering share count over time
- Much heavier-than-usual trading on the jump points to strong buying interest
