    What Is Tuya's Investment Narrative?

    To own Tuya, you need to believe in its evolution from a generic IoT platform into a differentiated AI infrastructure provider, with enough pricing power to justify a premium multiple and still fund dividends and buybacks. The Spielwarenmesse launch fits that narrative neatly: the AI toy suite and AI Agent Development Platform extend Tuya’s “picks and shovels” model into a new consumer category, but near term they look more like a catalyst for sentiment than a driver of financials. The bigger short term levers still sit in sustaining recent profitability, monetising its AI platform across more verticals, and executing its sizeable buyback authorization. On the risk side, Tuya’s valuation, dividend coverage and reliance on keeping its AI offering competitive remain front of mind, and the new toy push adds product and execution risk rather than removing it.

    However, investors should also be aware of how thin Tuya’s earnings cover its dividend. Tuya's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 9%. Find out what it's worth.
