Movement Alert|Mobvista Falls 5.03% in Regular Trading, Q1 Revenue-Profit Divergence Triggers Continued Profit-Taking

Market Focus14:34

On June 3, Mobvista Inc fell 5.03% in regular trading, trading at HK$14.17/share, with trading volume of HK$222 million. The stock has now declined for three consecutive trading days.

The selloff continues to be driven by the company's Q1 earnings released on May 31, which revealed a significant divergence between revenue and profit growth. Revenue rose 32.2% year-on-year to US$581 million, while adjusted net profit grew only 10.6% to US$24.2 million. R&D expenses surged 47% and selling expenses increased 34%, compressing the operating profit margin to just 3.8%. Period profit declined 59.2% quarter-on-quarter. The heavy investment phase, focused on AI infrastructure upgrades and the MaxAgent multi-agent system, has weighed on near-term profitability.

Additionally, the prior rally driven by Temasek's US$150 million strategic equity placement and pre-earnings expectations had already been fully priced in. With all positive catalysts now digested, funds have continued to lock in gains. Notably, Huatai Research maintained a Buy rating with a target price of HK$28.28, citing the new AI platform expected to launch in October and contribute incremental revenue from Q4 onward.
