JOYY Still Undervalued After YY Live Sale To Baidu
Summary JOYY's deal to sell YY Live to Baidu finally closed. JOYY got an additional $240 million cash payout. Bigo Live's temporary app store removal will likely hurt near term results, but investors will look past this. Likee briefly benefited from the TikTok ban, but downloads petered out quickly. Now TikTok is back & Likee has similar usage as before. I believe JOYY is worth $111 per share, making it a buy. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 09
JOYY Accelerates The Buyback Bazooka
Summary JOYY stock surged 21% in 2 days due to its significant buyback increase in Q3. Despite headline numbers appearing weak, the report aligns with management's goal to shift the business to markets with high monetization potential. Management is strategically shifting focus from China to developed markets. It is cutting marketing expenses to drive bottom line improvement. JOYY stock's valuation remains attractive. I have a price target of ~$111.3 by year-end 2025, which is driven by cash returns and operational improvements. Even in a bearish case, my valuation target for YY stock is $65.1, which is a significant upside from Friday's close of $40.66. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Oct 19

JOYY Had A Sneaky Good Q2

The BIGO audience network had 12.8% sequential sales growth. It is emerging as a key powerhouse of the Group. JOYY has 25% fewer basic shares outstanding than it did in Q1 2021, which shows the impact of its strong buyback. Its buyback was $71.4 million in Q2.

JOYY Q1 Earnings: Disappointing Revenue Guidance, Maintaining My Hold Rating
Summary JOYY Inc.'s near-term revenue outlook is lackluster, as the company has guided for its top line to contract by -2% QoQ to $553.5 million in the second quarter of the year. On the flip side, JOYY's latest quarterly results and disclosures had favorable read-throughs for its future share repurchases, the developed countries' growth outlook, and its ability to manage costs. There were both good and bad takeaways from JOYY's performance and prospects, so I choose to leave my existing Hold rating for the stock unchanged.

JOYY Is A Buy Despite YY Live Deal Cancelation
Summary JOYY should get a payout from Baidu for YY Live's profits while it was in Baidu's control. That could be $700 million. JOYY could spin off YY Live for $500 million. The vast majority of JOYY's business is outside of China. BIGO is generating cash offshore and growing. Bigo Live has been adding users steadily. Shopline is a hidden venture investment JOYY made 4 years ago and last year. JOYY's stake is worth $800 million based on my estimate. My sum of the parts valuation gives JOYY stock over 150% upside.
