Guidance / Business Outlook

Q3 2026 revenue guidance implies 5.7%-9.4% YoY decline

Management guided Q3 2026 total net revenues to RMB2.4-2.5 billion, a 9.4% to 5.7% year-over-year decrease, a steeper decline than Q2's 5.1% drop. The decelerating domestic trend sets a low bar into the Dec 7 report and could pressure shares if overseas growth does not offset domestic weakness.
