XD Inc. (SEHK:2400) has initiated a share buyback program, allowing the repurchase of up to 49,167,523 shares, or 10% of its issued capital. Despite a strong 30-day return of 27.89% and a 1-year return of 243.35%, its P/E ratio of 26.2x appears high compared to industry averages. A DCF analysis suggests the stock may be undervalued, trading at HK$82.55 against an estimated fair value of HK$103.43. Investors should consider the risks of P/E compression and the potential impact of slowing buybacks on earnings momentum.

XD INC (2400.HK) has recently shown weak stock price performance, with the daily MACD indicating a death cross pattern. The short-term moving average system has shifted from bullish to bearish, and the activity of main funds continues to decline. Following several trading days of significantly reduced trading volume and net outflow of large orders, the expectation for a short-term sector rebound faces ongoing challenges. On the market, XD INC's stock price has repeatedly fluctuated within a narrow range at recent low levels, with no clear signals of a stop in the decline or a strengthening trend in the technical pattern. Both the 5-day and 10-day moving averages have formed a suppressive trend, hindering short-term rotation logic. Currently, the Hong Kong stock market's technology and pan-entertainment sector is generally under pressure from market funds seeking safety, with no substantial catalysts or new policies emerging from the fundamental news front, leading to cautious defensive operations by market funds. From the perspective of fund flow, although some short-term funds are attempting to buy on the left side at low prices, the volume-price coordination is poor, and the rebound lacks significant sustained momentum, with the sector's rebound energy yet to form a continuous force. To break through the current predicament, it is necessary to rely on positive factors such as fundamental improvements, the launch of new game products, or marginal easing of the regulatory environment. Short-term intraday rebounds are mostly for short-term trading, and both their duration and height need further verification. Therefore, whether the sector can rebound significantly depends on the continued follow-up of trading volume and the market performance of core stocks. Technically, investors are advised to focus on whether the intraday 5/10-day moving averages and previous low points can form support. If there is a volume breakout above the resistance line and bullish indicators rise simultaneously, it may open a window for a short-term rebound

There are some positions in $XD INC(02400.HK) in Hong Kong stocks, which are not cheap anymore, but this Friday, taptap maker will be released, and claude code will be integrated into the game engine/game editor, greatly reducing the possibility for ordinary enthusiasts to use AI to create high-quality/playable games. It has the potential to become the first concept stock for large-scale AI implementation in the gaming industry (not the kind for speculative hype). It's a level higher than $Roblox(RBLX.US).

Xindong (Minutes): Overseas Outbreak Benefits from the Return of Key Partners

On the afternoon of August 29th, Beijing time, $XD INC(02400.HK) released its performance for the first half of 2025, slightly exceeding expectations, particularly in TapTap and profitability. Specifically: 1. TapTap's commercialization accelerated: Although TapTap's monthly active users showed no significant growth in the first half, remaining roughly flat year-on-year, this may be due to the fact that the games with impressive revenue were mainly targeted overseas. However, the advertising revenue per user increased by 36% year-on-year and 23% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting the acceleration of TapTap's commercialization, with the final monetization effect exceeding market expectations...

HeartBeat Company: Games frequently emerge as 'dark horses', TapTap accelerates monetization

XD Inc.‌ 1H25 Quick Interpretation: The overall performance in the first half slightly exceeded expectations, specifically in TapTap and profitability. (The expectations in the chart are relatively lagging, with significant data deviation. It is recommended to refer to company guidance or the latest expectations from investment banks as excerpted by Dolphin Research.) 1. Acceleration of TapTap Commercialization: Although TapTap's monthly active users showed no fluctuations in the first half, remaining basically flat year-on-year, this may be related to the fact that the games with impressive revenue in the first half were mainly targeted overseas. However, the advertising revenue per user increased by 36% year-on-year and 23% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting the acceleration of TapTap's commercialization, with the final monetization effect exceeding market expectations. The main driver behind this is the optimization of the advertising model, which has improved eCPM (according to research information, yoy +15%). In addition, the first half saw the launch of the TapTap PC version, further promoting the interconnection of multi-platform accounts, encouraging more games to integrate into the TapSDK ecosystem services, providing developers with more comprehensive user data and conversion. 2. High Growth in Games as Expected: The game segment grew by 39% in the first half, with increases in both the number of players and average spending per player. Besides the overseas launch of the new game 'RO Origin Server', 'HeartBeat Town' and the revenue recovery of 'Torchlight' after major adjustments were sources of incremental growth. However, the final revenue fell short of market expectations. Dolphin Research speculates that this discrepancy may be related to the recognition of revenue on a net basis for some overseas games (such as 'Origin Server') and changes in the ratio of revenue recognition to game revenue. 3. Efficient Operation from Classic IP: Compared to a brand-new mobile game, developing sequels or re-operating classic games can achieve high monetization with low promotion. Reviewing changes over the past year, Tencent and NetEase have adopted this strategy, not only achieving record-high revenue scales but also raising profitability levels. For HeartBeat, while games saw high growth in the first half, sales expenses only increased by 7% year-on-year, and excluding personnel expenses, pure promotion expenses even declined by 3.6%. Moreover, classic games do not overly rely on external channels, naturally guiding players to download and pay on official servers. This also led to a decrease in channel commission costs for games recognizing revenue on a gross basis in the first half, down by 3 percentage points compared to the same period last year and 1 percentage point compared to the second half of last year. Finally, core operating costs were 830 million, with a profit margin of 28%, an increase of 5 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. The final net profit was 811 million, slightly exceeding company guidance and market expectations.

Additionally, the company announced its participation in the MiAO project, which is expected to create a win-win situation with TapTap in the future. Coupled with relatively active capital sentiment in the gaming sector, today saw a substantial increase driven by multiple favorable factors. 1. First-half revenue is expected to be 3.05 billion, a year-on-year increase of 37% and a quarter-on-quarter increase of 10%...

Financial Analysis

On March 28th, Beijing time, $XD INC(02400.HK) released its performance for the second half of 2024. Since it had just issued a profit warning at the beginning of the month, market expectations were not low. In reality, revenue remained flat, and although the final net profit was within the guidance range, it mainly relied on other gains and losses. Looking at the operating profit of the core business, it fell short of expectations due to the variance in sales expenses. Specifically: 1. The gaming sector saw a bumper harvest, with pressure on gaming revenue in the second half of this year expected to grow by 71% year-on-year, reaching 2.78 billion, in line with forecasts and market expectations...

X.D. Network: One year of "excitement," one year of "frustration"?

$XD INC(02400.HK) 2H24 Quick Interpretation: Last year's gaming double stock has released its performance. Since a forecast was issued earlier (earnings greatly exceeded expectations; Dolphin Research's commentary can be found at: <a href="https://longportapp.cn/zh-CN/topics/27818057?channel=t27818057&amp;invite-code=032064&amp;app_id=longbridge&amp;utm_source=longbridge_app_share&amp;locale=zh-CN">https://longportapp.cn/zh-CN/topics/27818057?channel=t27818057&amp;invite-code=032064&amp;app_id=longbridge&amp;utm_source=longbridge_app_share&amp;locale=zh-CN</a>), market expectations have significantly increased in the past month. Referring to the few institutional expectations, it seems that there was high anticipation for TapTap's performance and cost contraction before the financial report.However, compared to the latest institutional expectations (marked in blue in the chart below), Xindong's actual performance showed average revenue (in line with expectations), and although net profit was also within guidance, it had some inflation—boosted by other net gains (rapidly shrinking interest expenses). Looking solely at the operating profit situation of the core main business, it fell short of expectations—mainly due to the discrepancy in cost control.The significant drop following the performance report was largely based on the high valuation impact brought about by high expectations. According to the optimistic expectations before the institutional financial report (25% revenue growth in 2025, 45% profit growth, which translates to over 1.2 billion in net profit), the forward P/E was also at 15-16x. This is not considered low compared to smaller peers in the Hong Kong stock market and historical valuations.Of course, Dolphin Research also acknowledges that Xindong has TapTap, which deserves a higher valuation than its gaming peers. However, we have consistently emphasized that this year's gaming pipeline is somewhat thin, especially since last year had a high base. Therefore, the institutional expectation of a 25% total revenue growth likely includes a significant contribution from TapTap. The actual performance of TapTap was also quite average, leading to a short-term double whammy under the emotional letdown.Aside from the performance, Xindong declared its first dividend, paying HKD 0.4 per share, with a dividend yield of 1-2%, and a payout ratio close to 25%, which is considered a normal dividend level.
