This is the first monthly employment report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics since the release of August data in September, filling the gap in official employment data caused by the previous government shutdown. The market generally expects an increase of 54,000 in non-farm payrolls for September, with the unemployment rate remaining at 4.3%. However, this data is significantly lagging, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has clearly stated that it will not release the October non-farm report. 2.

$KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK) released its third-quarter report after the Hong Kong stock market closed on November 19th, Beijing time. The Q3 performance was generally stable, with the highlight being the profit exceeding expectations due to internal efficiency improvements. The recent deep correction in stock price is likely still mainly influenced by market sentiment towards Kuaishou. Specifically: 1. Significant operational efficiency: In the third-quarter report, there was a notable difference in profit expectations, with core operating profit increasing by 5 percentage points year-on-year, showing greater optimization compared to the first two quarters of this year. Breaking it down, the control of selling expenses and R&amp;D expenses was a key reason. 2. Kuaishou slightly exceeded expectations: Kuaishou's revenue in the third quarter exceeded 300 million...

Kuaishou: To Say Goodbye to 'Rustic' Valuation, It Still Depends on Keling

Kuaishou 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: The third-quarter performance slightly exceeded expectations overall, not as poor as recent stock prices suggest. The current valuation corresponds to approximately 15x P/E for this year's core business (13x for next year), indicating that the premium for the Keling segment has not been significantly factored in. Therefore, the price adjustment from HKD 90 to HKD 60 is mainly related to the competitive impact of Sora 2 at the end of September and the overall decline in AI sentiment. 1. Significant internal efficiency improvement: The highlight of the financial report is the profit performance, with the core operating profit margin increasing by nearly 5 percentage points year-on-year, more significantly than in Q1 and Q2. The contraction in selling and administrative expenses deviates from market expectations. 2. Keling slightly exceeds expectations: The company guided Keling's third-quarter revenue to be between 280-300 million, and it is expected to increase in the fourth quarter due to the release of Kling 2.5 Turbo, with actual Keling revenue exceeding 300 million. Currently, Kling 2.5 Turbo remains at the top of the WenSheng video and TuSheng video large model rankings in terms of performance ELO scores. 3. Slowing growth in e-commerce transactions, potential increase in short drama monetization rate: Excluding Keling (calculated at 330 million), other income in Q3 grew by 34% year-on-year, significantly higher than the 20% growth in Q2. However, the year-on-year growth rate of Q3 e-commerce GMV was 15%, showing a slowdown. Considering changes in the year-on-year base, the growth rate is slightly below past levels when viewed from an inter-seasonal perspective. Therefore, the incremental income in other revenue items likely comes from paid short dramas, games, etc., and possibly from an increase in e-commerce commission rates. The actual situation can be monitored in the conference call. 4. Steady recovery in advertising: The growth rate of marketing and advertising revenue in the third quarter was 14%, continuing to recover from the second quarter, mainly benefiting from AI model iterations, new features enhancing ROI, and the penetration of intelligent delivery solutions, with UAX's penetration rate in external circulation ads reaching 70%. Additionally, the prosperity of the short drama industry itself will bring more traffic revenue and IAA revenue sharing. 5. Finally, let's look at the ecosystem: Kuaishou's user metrics have not performed well on third-party platforms in recent years. Although the data is not comprehensive, the pressure is greater compared to peers at least in horizontal comparison. The user metrics disclosed in the Q3 financial report also show low-speed stability, but the average daily user duration reached a new high, possibly related to growth driven by rich content such as short dramas and exclusive galas. The growth bottleneck of the ecosystem is one of the core factors suppressing Kuaishou's valuation. Although there is still room for improvement in current profitability (as shown in Q2 and Q3), the valuation is slightly inferior to the expected profit growth level. $KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK) $KUAISHOU-WR(81024.HK)

1118 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro 1. Today, both Hong Kong and A-shares collectively declined as the market's expectation for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve continued to decrease. According to CME's &#34;FedWatch&#34;, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has dropped to 42.9%, previously exceeding 70%. Federal Reserve Governor Waller also stated that if the job market rebounds, the necessity for an insurance rate cut will diminish. Additionally, the sell-off pressure on tech stocks and the Japanese bond market faced a sell-off wave due to concerns that the Kishida government will implement a large-scale fiscal expansion plan.

Alibaba's Positive News Unfolds; Kling 2.5Turbo Model Goes Live | Today's important news recap

The following are the minutes of the FY25Q2 earnings call for $KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK) organized by Dolphin Research. For earnings interpretation, please refer to &#34;Keling to the Rescue, E-commerce Kuaishou 'Transforming' AI Kuaishou?&#34; 1. Review of Core Financial Information 1. Important Announcement: Stop Disclosing GMV a. Reason: The e-commerce business has matured (annual GMV exceeds 1.5 trillion), and a single GMV metric cannot fully reflect its health and long-term value (such as AI empowerment, user experience, etc.).

Kuaishou (Minutes): Kling accelerates commercialization, additional investment in AI

$KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK) released its second-quarter report after the Hong Kong stock market closed on August 21, Beijing time. Recently, Kuaishou's stock price performance can be described as one of the hottest in the Hong Kong stock market, with the major contributor being Kling. Although Kling's contribution to the group's profit is not significant, the shift in sentiment has already driven Kuaishou's e-commerce valuation from 10x slowly towards a 15x &#34;platform &amp; technology&#34; valuation. So how is the performance of the traditional main business outside of Kling? Specifically, the second-quarter results are as follows: 1. User ecosystem remains stable: The monthly active users in the second quarter reached 715 million, with a net increase of 3 million compared to the previous quarter...

Can the Dreamlike Kling help Kuaishou escape the 'e-commerce valuation'?

Kuaishou 2Q25 Quick Interpretation: The Q2 performance was overall satisfactory, with e-commerce and live streaming slightly exceeding expectations. Meanwhile, the increase in expenses continued to optimize, driving further improvement in operational efficiency. Beyond business, Kuaishou also announced its first special dividend. 1. The core driving the stock price increase since June— Keling, with Q2 revenue of 250 million, a quarter-on-quarter growth of 60%. As the market closely tracks this, there is not much deviation in expectations. The recent stock price adjustment, aside from pre-earnings risk aversion, is mainly due to dissatisfaction with Keling's short-term revenue growth. Therefore, with the current traditional main business performing satisfactorily, the focus remains on the management's description of Keling's future dynamics, annual, and long-term operational goals during the conference call. At the very least, the original annual targets of 500 million and 750 million need to be further raised. 2. E-commerce exceeds expectations: In the main business, the standout performer was the e-commerce segment. Q2 GMV grew nearly 18% year-on-year, surpassing the previous low double-digit guidance and market expectations. E-commerce transactions were primarily driven by per capita spending, which increased approximately 15% year-on-year. During the 618 period, with specific promotional activities, the proportion of general shelf e-commerce rose to 32%, with the daily active merchants in the mall scenario increasing by 30% year-on-year. Ultimately, with little change in commission rates quarter-on-quarter, overall e-commerce revenue (excluding Keling) grew by 20%, better than the market's expected 15% growth. 3. Advertising meets expectations, trend warming: Advertising grew by 13%, meeting consensus expectations, though slightly below some leading institutions' forecasts, possibly due to adjustments considering the industry's 618 performance. Overall, advertising has bottomed out and is warming up as management indicated (AI + base slowing). Recently, Kuaishou added a food delivery entry, interpreted by the market as joining the food delivery battle. However, it is actually a partnership with Meituan, essentially still a traffic monetization business. Therefore, we expect continued acceleration in warming up in the second half of the year driven by AI, e-commerce food delivery, and a low base. 4. Operational efficiency continues to improve: Although in absolute terms, operating expenses were basically in line with expectations, considering the revenue exceeded expectations, actual operational efficiency improved. Ultimately, the core main business's operating profit was 4.7 billion, nearly 400 million higher than expected, primarily contributed by the revenue exceeding portion. The core operating profit margin was 13.4%, with the potential to approach 20% in the medium to long term. 5. Surprise dividend: There was a surprise in shareholder returns this time. In addition to the normal buyback (scale decreased compared to Q1), a first special dividend totaling 2 billion HKD (0.46 HKD/share) was announced, expected to be distributed in October. As a result, this year's buyback + dividend totals approximately 7.5 billion HKD, corresponding to the current market value of 310 billion HKD, with a shareholder return rate of about 2.5%.$KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK)
