DouYu Q2 Revenue Falls 6.9% as Paying Users Decline, Swings to Loss
DOYU is trading near its 52-week low of $4.28 (6.5% above the low).
Summary
DouYu reported Q2 revenue of RMB 981.1 million, down 6.9% year-over-year, missing the consensus estimate. The company swung to an adjusted net loss of RMB 13.5 million from adjusted net income a year earlier, while net loss widened to RMB 72.4 million. Management attributed the decline to fewer paying users and weaker consumer spending amid macroeconomic headwinds. Gross profit rose 12% to RMB 159 million, helped by lower content and bandwidth costs, but increased spending on brand events pushed operating expenses higher. This follows the CEO resignation announced on August 6, adding to uncertainty. The company expects to maintain disciplined investment and focus on cost efficiency, but ongoing macro pressures on user retention and spending remain a key risk.
At the time of this announcement, DOYU was trading at $4.56 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $143.3M. The 52-week trading range was $4.28 to $8.65.
