Kuaishou 4Q24 Results: AI Monetization to Further Inch up in 2025
What’s new: Kuaishou’s reported 4Q24 revs that were slightly below consensus and our expectations. OMS could further decelerate in 1Q partly due to tougher comps in gaming and continued traffic support to merchants. AI monetization could continue to inch up partly driven by a higher subscriber base for Kling AI. We up our PT from HKD60 to HKD70 on multiples rerating related to AI.

Kuaishou 3Q24 Results: Near-Term Traffic Support Could Impact OMS
What’s new: Kuaishou’s reported 3Q24 revs that were largely in-line with consensus and our expectations.

Kuaishou would also continue to invest in subsidies related to short plays, e-commerce and local services in 4Q. We lower our PT from HKD70 to HKD60 on lowered outlook.

Greater China Strategy Alpha Picks: December Conviction Calls
MSCI China rose only 2.3% mom in November while the HSI shed 0.4% mom over the same period, despite positive newsflow for the real estate sector. Investors preferred to sell into strength, as concerns over China’s slow economic growth remain. Looking ahead, the mid-Dec 23 Economic Work Conference may provide positive surprises and with MSCI China trading at 12-month forward PE of 9.3x, risk is skewed to the upside. We add CSPC, HKEX, Lenovo, Longfor, Pinduoduo and Sunny Optical to our BUY list.

Kuaishou 3Q23 Results: Upside in Margins
What's new: Kuaishou’s reported 3Q23 results were above consensus and our expectations driven by resiliency in ads. User traffic could remain healthy where DAU could grow by low-single digit YoY, while average daily time spent could remain above 120 mins in 4Q. Margins could see further upside partly driven by better efficiency in marketing spending and continued cost controls. We maintain our PT at HKD 95. Analysts: Jin Yoon

China Internet: Muted growth acceleration from 11.11 campaign.
2023’s 11.11 ended with alleviated GMV growth against a soft macro backdrop and intense competitive landscape. Live-streaming e-commerce and adtech upgrades remain key growth catalysts in the e-commerce sector. We opine that the reduced vitality of 11.11 this year stems from rational consumption behaviours and increased consumption of quality products. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT due to lukewarm macro outlook and brutal price wars undermining the profitability of e-commerce companies.

We expect e-commerce ads and overseas e-commerce expansion to be the main driving forces spurring stagnant growth in 3Q23 and beyond. In addition, we are optimistic about the better-the-expected growth in game gross profit and on-track OTA data on the back of strong seasonality. We are also looking out for meaningful progress in AIGC development in 3Q23 and better visibility in 4Q23. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT on the internet sector.

Taobao, JD, PDD and Kuaishou kicked off pre-sales/11.11 promotions on 24, 23, 20 and 18 October respectively. 11.11 pre-sales data showed signs of pent-up demand release following pressured 3Q23 NBS consumption data. To revitalise the soft macro environment, multiple platforms have adopted low price strategies for users to acquire high-value products at more affordable prices. We remain upbeat on China’s ecommerce sector pending an encouraging recovery in 4Q23. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
