HUYA: Massive Dividends Plan Announced, Maintain 'Buy'
Summary HUYA's Q4 FY2024 results show a 2.2% revenue decline but a significant 100% growth in game-related services, supporting my continued "buy" rating. Despite a stock drop of 18% post-earnings, HUYA's $400 million dividend plan and share repurchase program offer a 52% shareholder yield over three years. Concerns arise from HUYA's shareholder structure, with Tencent holding 66% and management having minimal stock, potentially misaligning interests with other shareholders. HUYA trades below tangible book value, making it a compelling investment despite concerns, with strong growth in game-related services and strategic transformation progress.

HUYA: Stuck In Hibernation With Uncertain Revival
Summary HUYA expanded from live streaming into game-related services in 2023, including content creation, publishing, and esports, showing early success with strong quarterly growth. Growth in the Company's core live-streaming business has stalled since 2020 due to macroeconomic and regulatory challenges beyond its control. To offset a negative operating cash flow, HUYA stashed away excess cash into time deposits, generating steady interest income and maintaining operations effectively in a 'hibernation mode.' The company remains deeply undervalued, offering a potential deep value opportunity for short-term investors despite uncertain long-term growth. Conservative long-term investors should wait to see if HUYA's game-related services become a significant revenue driver. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Dec 16

HUYA: Priced At Cash Is As Good As It Gets
Summary HUYA Inc.'s Q3 2024 results showed an EPS beat but revenue missed consensus, with live-streaming revenue down 26% y/y and gross margin contracting to 13.2%. China's soft macro environment and rising competition are pressuring HUYA's growth, making it a value trap rather than a value play. HUYA's valuation at 11x forward earnings is unjustified compared to Kuaishou's 9.4x, given Kuaishou's faster growth and more stable industry position. We recommend avoiding HUYA stock and focusing on high-quality game developers like Take-Two and EA, given their content oversight and top value chain position.

HUYA: Turning Positive On Results Beat And Special Dividend (Rating Upgrade)
Summary HUYA's actual revenue and bottom line for the most recent quarter were better than what the sell-side analysts had forecasted.

Recent HUYA Buyback Authorization Could Close The Massive Discount To Net Cash
Summary HUYA is still deeply undervalued with a 62% discount to net current asset value, 58% discount to net cash, and an absurdly negative enterprise value of -$628M. I wrote a previous article outlining the undervaluation, and shared my entry and exit points with my readers, with a total profit of 61% on the trade last year. Management is finally showing an effort to close the discount, with the recent announcement of a $100M share buyback authorization, representing 20% of the stock's market cap. Share buybacks would be immediately accretive by increasing the company's share of net cash, and boost underlying NCAV per share by reducing outstanding share count and increasing NCAV per share. Q2 earnings show continued marginal profitability, ensuring that the underlying asset value is stable while we wait for a convergence between stock price and asset value.
