Xunlei: Stock Continues To Lack Near-Term Catalysts - Hold

Summary Xunlei Limited reported mixed fourth-quarter results with better-than-expected sales offset by declining margins. GAAP results were negatively impacted by the reduced fair market value of the company's stake in panoramic camera market leader Arashi Vision, better known as Insta360. Xunlei continues to trade at a steep discount to NAV as investors grapple with the timing of a potential special dividend following the anticipated monetization of the Arashi Vision stake. The recent sale of a majority stake in the fast-growing cloud computing business at a rather low price and lack of forward guidance aren't suited to instill confidence in management. Given the lack of near-term catalysts and uncertainties regarding the potential monetization of the company's stake in Arashi Vision, I am reiterating my "Hold" rating on XNET stock.

Xunlei Limited Has What It Takes To Bounce Back

Summary Xunlei Limited saw its stock collapse along with stock markets around the world, but the stock has stabilized in recent days, possibly with the assistance of support.

It is premature to state the recent troubles the stock has experienced are over, since XNET could head south once again. It may take time for XNET to reward the longs, but it has by all means the tools to get it done, given enough time. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Xunlei Limited: Progress Is Not Getting The Full Recognition It Deserves

Summary Share prices have been on the rise, but that is after a long decline that wiped out most of XNET’s market cap. The stock has risen off the lows, but it can still be attained at very low multiples, which arguably undervalue XNET. XNET has no obvious flaws that warrant its low market cap, except for maybe the fact that its links to China carry some risk. XNET is valued less now that it is profitable than when it was not, which is something that is not likely to continue indefinitely. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Xunlei: Recently Profitable And Trading Well Below Cash

Summary XNET has been growing revenues consistently and recently turned profitable. Despite this, the company trades at a substantial discount to realizable cash. I identify several factors that could cause the company to be re-rated and thereby trade at a more reasonable price level in the near term. Several years back I wrote an article on Xunlei (XNET) in which I explained why I had taken a short position in the stock. Seeking Alpha Seeking Alpha As the stock has fallen precipitously since then, I'm now reversing my stance; and have taken a small long position in the company. In this article I explain my very straightforward reasoning for this decision. Bigcharts The Company XNET is a Chinese company providing cloud computing, blockchain and live streaming internet services. The most recent quarter's total revenues of $78.3M were split as follows: Cloud computing $28.3 (36.1%) Blockchain subscription $25.4M (32.4%) Live streaming $24.5M (31.3%) As can be seen from the quarterly revenue chart below, the company has been growing steadily since inception. Thus it is an ongoing business, yet, as I show below, it trades as though it were a proverbial "cigar butt" stock. XNET Revenue (Quarterly) data by YCharts Furthermore, the company has guided 3Q revenues in the range of $82M to $87M which would represent record quarterly revenues. Realizable Cash & Shares Outstanding Here is the company's latest balance sheet, dated June 30, 2022, as shown in the quarterly earnings release of that same date. Earnings Release Strictly speaking, net current assets is calculated by subtracting total current liabilities from total current assets, but since all liabilities eventually must be paid (while some long term assets, like Goodwill, may never be realized), I find it more conservative to consider realizable cash as total current assets less total liabilities. In this case that calculation gives realizable cash of $163M. The company ADRs have a ratio of 5:1 to the ordinary shares, such that currently there are 68.06M ADRs outstanding, so XNET's realizable cash per ADR is equal to $2.40, yet the ADRs currently trade at $1.43 (i.e. a 40% discount!). This is the biggest reason to be bullish on the shares. The risk with this type of situation is always that the company will lose money over time, and will thereby deplete the net current assets. To investigate this, let's look at: Profitability and Valuation As shown in the chart below, the company has recently moved towards profitability, but it doesn't yet have a track record of consistently making money. I think if it can show sustained profitability for a few more quarters then there's a good chance the market will re-rate the stock and give full credit for the net current assets per share. XNET Net Income (Quarterly) data by YCharts In terms of valuation, the company looks good across all metrics (note that because of the large cash position, the company's EV is a negative $129M so the EV ratios show as not meaningful). Seeking Alpha Seeking Alpha Share Buyback Another catalyst that might help the company begin trading above net current assets is its recent share buyback authorization. Here is the latest update on this from the most recent earnings report: In March 2022, Xunlei announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of its outstanding common stocks over the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2022, the aggregate value of purchased shares was approximately US$1.74 million.
