BofA Securities commented in a report that KUAISHOU-W (01024.HK) has delivered another satisfactory result, with business growth on track, strong profit growth and a promising outlook. The company also announced a new share buyback programme.

The broker said the outlook for growth in KUAISHOU's business remained positive despite some market noise about weakening momentum in gross merchandise revenue (GMV), mainly due to favourable momentum from the 618 shopping festival and the expanding e-commerce shopping scenarios. KUAISHOU shared that ad pricing is improving while ad loads stabilised in 1Q24. Meanwhile, efficiency gains through a portfolio shift to higher-margin e-commerce and advertising businesses, as well as control of operating costs, will continue to drive profit growth.

The broker added KUAISHOU's target price from $75 to $78, and reiterated its Buy rating due to a solid profit trend.
