"Guided by our strategic focus, our domestic business continued to sustain the healthy operation of the cash cow business through a focus on product innovation and refined operations. Leveraging the synergy of a diversified product portfolio, our overseas business has maintained a positive development trend. Looking ahead, we are confident in our ability to execute on the strategic roadmap for each business line in 2026."First Quarter of 2026 Financial Results Net revenues Total net revenues were RMB2,386.0 million (US$345.9 million) in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 5.3% from RMB2,520.8 million in the first quarter of 2025.Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues from various audio, video and text-based scenarios, and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB2,353.6 million (US$341.2 million) in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 5.5% from RMB2,489.9 million during the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to external factors that influenced the operational focus of certain broadcasters and agencies on Momo app, which are still in recovery, and to a lesser extent, the decline in Tantan resulting from a decline in user base. The decrease was largely offset by the revenue growth from our overseas apps, driven by the rapid expansion from multiple social entertainment and dating brands across our rich portfolio.Other services revenues were RMB32.3 million (US$4.7 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB30.9 million during the same period of 2025.Net revenues from Chinese mainland decreased from RMB2,106.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 to RMB1,788.6 million (US$259.3 million) in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues from Momo app and Tantan app. Net revenues from overseas increased from RMB414.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 to RMB597.4 million (US$86.6 million) in the first quarter of 2026, driven by the growth of audio- and video-based products in the Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") region, primarily by the new apps, along with incremental revenue from dating brands outside of MENA.Cost and expenses Cost and expenses were RMB2,088.7 million (US$302.8 million) in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 6.5% from RMB2,234.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters on Momo app, partially offset by an increased revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients on overseas apps; (b) a decrease in salary expenses and share-based compensation expenses, due to our continuous optimization in personnel costs and the newly granted share options which had lower fair value; and (c) partially offset by increased investment in marketing for our new overseas apps while we continued to reduce marketing expenses for China apps.Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,049.3 million (US$297.1 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB2,188.8 million during the same period of 2025.Income from operationsIncome from operations was RMB309.7 million (US$44.9 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB299.5 million during the same period of 2025.Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB349.2 million (US$50.6 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB345.3 million during the same period of 2025.  Interest incomeInterest income was RMB54.0 million (US$7.8 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB120.3 million during the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a reduction in the total volume of interest-bearing funds, as a result of bank loan repayments, the distribution of a special cash dividend, settlement of withholding tax accrued for prior periods, certain acquisitions and investments, and payment under the Company's Share Repurchase Program; (b) a lower proportion of high-yield US dollar funds in the total funds; and (c) a drop in the yield of both US dollar and RMB funds due to falling market interest rates.Income tax expenses Income tax expenses were RMB79.9 million (US$11.6 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB70.4 million in the first quarter of 2025.Share of income on equity method investments Share of income on equity method investments was RMB8.5 million (US$1.2 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB39.7 million during the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower fair value gains recognized from an investment in an open mutual fund.Net income Net income was RMB291.5 million (US$42.3 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB358.5 million during the same period of 2025.Non-GAAP net income (note 1) was RMB329.3 million (US$47.7 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB404.3 million during the same period of 2025.Net income attributable to the shareholders of Hello Group Inc.Net income attributable to the shareholders of Hello Group Inc. was RMB291.0 million (US$42.2 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB358.0 million during the same period of 2025.Non-GAAP net income (note 1) attributable to the shareholders of Hello Group Inc. was RMB328.8 million (US$47.7 million) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB403.8 million during the same period of 2025.Net income per ADSDiluted net income per ADS was RMB1.81 (US$0.26) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB2.07 in the first quarter of 2025.Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS (note 1) was RMB2.05 (US$0.30) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to RMB2.34 in the first quarter of 2025.Cash and cash flowAs of March 31, 2026, the Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits, short-term investments, short-term restricted cash and long-term deposits totaled RMB8,561.0 million (US$1,241.1 million), compared to RMB8,677.6 million as of December 31, 2025.Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB158.9 million (US$23.0 million), compared to RMB239.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.Recent DevelopmentPayment of a special cash dividendIn March 2026, Hello Group's board of directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of US$0.28 per ADS, or US$0.14 per ordinary share. The cash dividend was paid in April 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2026. The aggregate amount of cash dividends paid was US$41.2 million.Share repurchase programAs of June 2, 2026, the Company has repurchased 63.7 million ADSs for US$399.5 million on the open market under the Share Repurchase Program announced on June 7, 2022 and amended on March 14, 2024 and March 12, 2025, at an average purchase price of US$6.25 per ADS. The remaining size of the program is US$86.6 million.Business OutlookFor the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects total net revenues to be between RMB2.45 billion and RMB2.55 billion, representing a decrease of 6.5% to 2.7% year over year. This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.Note 1: Non-GAAP measuresTo supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we, Hello Group, use various non-GAAP financial measures that are adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions.Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are shown in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details about the non-GAAP financial measures.Our non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors' overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of our continuing operations and our prospects for the future. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to the GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.Our non-GAAP information (including non-GAAP cost and operating expenses, income from operations, net income, net income attributable to the shareholders of Hello Group Inc., and diluted net income per ADS) is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP results to exclude share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions, and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions and tax impacts related to the amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future significant recurring expenses in our results of operations. We compensate for such limitation by providing reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to our U.S. GAAP measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.Conference Call Hello Group's management will host an earnings conference call on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time (7:00 p.m. Beijing / Hong Kong Time on June 2, 2026).Participants can register for the conference call by navigating to:

That said, through the team's agile response and strong execution, we maintained stable performance of our cash-cow business while sustaining a healthy ecosystem." commented Yan Tang, Chairman and CEO of Hello Group. "Our overseas business has posted exceptional results over the past year, fueled by organic product incubation and targeted mergers and acquisitions. This has enabled us to diversify and enrich our brand portfolio while rapidly expanding our global presence, resulting in accelerated overseas revenue momentum. The overseas business has now solidified as an important revenue contributor for the Group and stands as the key engine for our future overall growth."Fourth Quarter of 2025 Financial Results Net revenues Total net revenues were RMB2,575.8 million (US$368.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.3% from RMB2,636.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.Value-added service revenues mainly include virtual gift revenues from various audio, video and text- based scenarios, and membership subscription revenues. Total value-added service revenues were RMB2,533.1 million (US$362.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.3% from RMB2,591.6 million during the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to external factors that influenced the operational focus of certain broadcasters and agencies as well as the weak consumer sentiment on Momo app, and to a lesser extent, the decline in Tantan resulting from a decline in user base. The decrease was largely offset by the revenue growth from our overseas apps, driven by the rapid expansion from multiple social entertainment and dating brands across our rich portfolio.Other services revenues were RMB42.7 million (US$6.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB44.9 million during the same period of 2024.Net revenues from Chinese mainland decreased from RMB2,279.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 to RMB1,967.6 million (US$281.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in net revenues from Momo app and Tantan app. Net revenues from overseas increased from RMB357.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 to RMB608.2 million (US$87.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by the growth of audio- and video-based products in the Middle East and North Africa("MENA") region, primarily by the new apps, along with incremental revenue from dating brands outside of MENA.Cost and expenses Cost and expenses were RMB2,278.4 million (US$325.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 5.4% from RMB2,407.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to: (a) a RMB94.1 million in production costs incurred in connection with films in the fourth quarter of 2024, and (b) a decrease in revenue sharing with broadcasters on Momo apps, partially offset by an increased revenue sharing with virtual gift recipients on overseas apps.Non-GAAP cost and expenses (note 1) were RMB2,231.4 million (US$319.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB2,364.6 million during the same period of 2024.Income from operationsIncome from operations was RMB307.1 million (US$43.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB236.7 million during the same period of 2024.Non-GAAP income from operations (note 1) was RMB354.1 million (US$50.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB279.9 million during the same period of 2024.  Income tax expenses Income tax expenses were RMB68.9 million (US$9.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB89.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.Net income Net income was RMB237.8 million (US$34.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB187.2 million during the same period of 2024.Non-GAAP net income (note 1) was RMB281.8 million (US$40.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB230.5 million during the same period of 2024.Net income attributable to Hello Group Inc.Net income attributable to Hello Group Inc. was RMB237.3 million (US$33.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB187.2 million during the same period of 2024.Non-GAAP net income (note 1) attributable to Hello Group Inc. was RMB281.3 million (US$40.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB230.5 million during the same period of 2024.Net income per ADSDiluted net income per ADS was RMB1.44 (US$0.21) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB1.05 in the fourth quarter of 2024.Non-GAAP diluted net income per ADS (note 1) was RMB1.70 (US$0.24) in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to RMB1.30 in the fourth quarter of 2024.Cash and cash flowAs of December 31, 2025, the Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits, long-term deposits, short-term investments, short-term restricted cash and long-term restricted cash totaled RMB8,677.6 million (US$1,240.9 million), compared to RMB14,728.5 million as of December 31, 2024.

$MOMO

Is posting for MOMO done on another board?

Looks like a bearish week for MOMO..best stocks from Nairobi

Price at 35.9 definitely buying this one all of this week

New week MOMO going up..

I wish I had shorted this! How can a stock have 35 cents in last quarters per share earnings and be listed as having 1.3 P/E?

Good earnings report last week. PPS moving up!

Oversold obviously....crazy day today MOMO looked like it wanted to stay in the 23's until the market got whipsawed by the news.

I think MOMO would not have reached the 22's if Chinese tech was good right now. So we will pop up higher on Monday, unless there is further market pressure overall.

Agree looks like Chinese ADR's all down. We need some Mo in MOMO!

RSI(14) 27.64

It will not stay under 30 for long.

I added at EOD. I will wait and see now.

Crazy price...

22.68 started a position here (small).

Now what?

In $24.00

I am back in at $24.00

Wow, I want in.

Analysts are looking far ahead. From recent stories it appears there was concern about, year over year, slower user growth on a percentage basis.

On the face of it, looks like blowout numbers again.

Sooner or later MOMO will be priced right where it should be. I suggest $25.00 looks pretty safe to me.

So what's the deal with this company. Analyst expecting .32 EPS and they come in at .45 and the stock tanks.

Buying in the 25 dollar range is smart.

Why Momo, Inc. Stock Fell 18.7% in September

Do sell-offs point to a buying opportunity in this Chinese social media company?

Keith Noonan (TMFNoons) Oct 10, 2017 at 7:19AM

What happened

Momo Inc. (NASDAQ:MOMO) stock lost 18.7% of its value in September, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The Chinese social media company's seemingly impressive earnings release in August was followed by sell-offs that carried through to September as investors weighed slowing growth against the stock's premium valuation.

The chart below tracks Momo stock's performance over the last three months.



Stock chart showing Momo stock decreasing 19.8% over the last three months.

So what

Video accounted for 83% of the company's sales last quarter, but not every aspect of the company's streaming business is delivering growth. The company added 6.1 million new monthly active users from its March-ended quarter to its June-ended quarter, reaching 91.3 million, however the number of paying live-stream viewers stayed flat at 4.1 million.

Hosting and serving videos is cost intensive, so indications that Momo is having trouble expanding its paying user base, along with comments from management that overall engagement was roughly flat, could signal a substantial growth slowdown in the near future. The company's operating expenses have already grown faster than sales in its last two quarters, further complicating the picture.

On the other hand, paid subscriptions are not the company's only, or most important, revenue stream. Even without paid-user growth, the company's average revenue per monthly active user increased nearly 160% year over year last quarter.

Now what

Momo shares trade at roughly 19 times forward earnings estimates. Given the company's impressive growth, that's a valuation that could point to a buying opportunity for investors who are willing weather potential volatility with the stock. Looking at another metric, the company's forward price-to-earnings-growth ratio is roughly 0.15 -- another indicator that suggests the stock could be a good buy at current prices.

Jump

BUY

Facebook rumored to have intentions of buying out MOMO. Let's see if that happens.

Buying in the 35 range is smart.

You could almost roll this one. It is volatile.

$38 Target.
$45 next Target.
