On June 1, Mobvista fell 5.63% in regular trading, trading at HK$14.8/share, with trading volume of HK$191 million.
The decline was primarily driven by the company's Q1 earnings release on May 31, which revealed a revenue-profit divergence. While total revenue reached US$581.3 million, up 32.2% year-over-year, R&D expenses surged 47% and sales expenses rose 34%, compressing profitability. The operating profit margin stood at just 3.8%, and period profit declined 59.2% quarter-over-quarter despite the top-line growth. Adjusted net profit of US$24.2 million grew only 10.6% year-over-year, significantly lagging revenue growth.
Additionally, the stock had already rallied substantially following Temasek's US$150 million strategic equity allocation announced on May 26 and positive Q1 earnings expectations. With all catalysts now fully priced in, some investors opted to lock in gains, exhibiting a classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-fact pattern.
