Kuaishou's Q2 results broadly met market expectations. According to the company's financial report, total revenue in the second quarter grew 1.4% year-over-year to RMB 35.54 billion, marking the slowest growth rate in its history and broadly in line with the Bloomberg consensus estimate of RMB 35.51 billion.
