FriendTimes Forecasts 2025 Profit Turnaround on Hit Games and AI-Driven Efficiency

The latest announcement is out from FriendTimes Inc. ( (HK:6820) ).

FriendTimes Inc. has issued a positive profit alert, indicating it expects 2025 revenue of about RMB1.22 billion to RMB1.26 billion, up roughly 4.9% to 8.4% year on year, and a turnaround to profit of RMB90 million to RMB96 million after a prior-year loss. Management attributes the improvement to steady contributions from existing hit titles, expansion into new game tracks, a higher mix of high-margin channels, tighter control of R&D and sales expenses, and broad use of AI across the game lifecycle.

The company also reports strong early market feedback for new titles Floral Fantasy and Ink Sword Jianghu, whose app and mini-game versions have quickly entered WeChat and Douyin mini-game best-seller rankings alongside A Story of Lala’s: Rising Star. With several codenamed games in development and ongoing efforts in innovation and resource optimisation, the board signals confidence in FriendTimes’ long-term growth trajectory, though detailed audited 2025 results will only be available with the annual announcement expected by end-March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:6820) stock is a Buy with a HK$0.72 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on FriendTimes Inc. stock, see the HK:6820 Stock Forecast page.
