Stock News05-18

Sohu.com has released its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, ending on March 31. The company reported total revenue of $141 million, representing a 4% increase compared to the same period in 2025. Revenue was segmented into $13 million from marketing services and $125 million from online games.

Charles Zhang, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Sohu.com, stated, "Our performance in the first quarter of 2026 exceeded our prior expectations across marketing services revenue, online game revenue, and net loss."

On a non-GAAP basis, Sohu.com's net loss attributable to the company was $4 million for Q1 2026. This marks a significant improvement, representing a 75% narrowing of the net loss compared to the $16 million net loss reported for Q1 2025.

Regarding the company's operations, Zhang commented, "For the Sohu Media platform, we have enhanced its vibrant and healthy social ecosystem by organizing a series of distinctive events. We are also continuously refining our products to better meet user needs. Leveraging our unique events and brand influence, we are actively exploring new commercial opportunities. Our game business delivered stable performance this quarter, with the rich, high-quality content we launched and targeted operational optimizations gaining strong recognition from our player base."

Furthermore, under the previously announced share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $150 million worth of its American Depositary Shares (ADS), Sohu.com had repurchased approximately 8.7 million ADSs for a total consideration of about $116 million as of May 13, 2026.
