Tuya (TUYA) Profit Push Reframes Whether The Stock Looks Undervalued

Tuya (NYSE:TUYA) has just highlighted a shift toward sustained GAAP profitability, with management emphasizing a heavier tilt to software subscription revenue over hardware sales. This change directly shapes how investors might frame valuation.

Investors have rewarded Tuya’s profitability message only modestly in the very short term, with a 1-day share price return of 1.18% and a 7-day share price gain of 1.78%. However, the stock remains under pressure, with the share price down 21.46% year to date and the 1-year total shareholder return down 29.99%.

Tuya is now pitching consistency on profits while the share price still reflects a business that has been under pressure. Does it make more sense to step in at US$1.72, or wait for a cheaper reset before the valuation case stacks up?

Most Popular Narrative: 50% Undervalued

Tuya’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at about $3.42, almost double the recent close at $1.72. This contrast puts the new profitability focus in sharp relief against the market’s current skepticism.

Ongoing expansion of SaaS and value-added services, with SaaS segment revenue growing at a faster rate than PaaS and achieving over 70% gross margin, is structurally shifting Tuya's business model toward higher-margin, recurring revenue, supporting long-term gross margin improvement and greater earnings visibility.

See why 21 investors see Tuya as 50% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of $3.42 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, that story can crack if geopolitical trade frictions further disrupt Tuya’s supply chain or if intensifying IoT and AI competition squeezes pricing power.
