See our latest analysis for Kuaishou Technology.
These AI launches land after a strong year to date for Kuaishou, with the share price return up 66.34 percent so far. However, the 3 year total shareholder return of negative 2.31 percent shows the longer term turnaround is still in progress, and recent 90 day share price weakness of negative 10.37 percent hints that momentum is pausing as investors reassess how quickly these new products will translate into earnings.
If Kling’s progress has you thinking bigger about AI, this is a good moment to explore other tech names through high growth tech and AI stocks and see what else fits your strategy.
With shares still trading at a sizeable discount to analyst targets despite accelerating revenue and profit growth, is Kuaishou an underappreciated AI winner in the making, or are markets already pricing in the next leg of expansion?
With Kuaishou closing at HK$67.45 versus a narrative fair value near HK$89.40, the valuation gap rests heavily on ambitious growth and margin assumptions.
Accelerating investment and integration of advanced AI technologies (Kling AI, OneRec, large language models) are enhancing content creation, recommendation algorithms, and advertising efficiency, which should improve user engagement, boost ARPU, and drive margin expansion over time.
Curious how much higher margins and steadily rising revenues need to climb to support that upside, and what future earnings multiple ties it all together? The full narrative lays out the exact roadmap behind this valuation call and the projected profitability shift that underpins it.
Result: Fair Value of $89.40 (UNDERVALUED)
