Q3 2025 results show net revenue of RMB 28.4 billion, up 8.2% year-on-year.

Core game and related value-added service revenue was RMB 23.3 billion, up 11.8% year-on-year.

September Non-Farm Payrolls Higher Than Expected
Expectations for a December rate cut have shifted dramatically, with the probability plummeting from near certainty a month ago to 39%. The driving factor is the unexpectedly strong US September jobs data, released after a delay. The US added 119,000 jobs, far exceeding market expectations of 50,000, while core inflation remained at 3%, slowly approach the Fed's 2% target. This shift will directly impact the global liquidity outlook—the prolonged high US interest rates mean increased attractiveness for dollar-denominated assets, putting pressure on emerging markets and interest rate sensitive growth assets.
