Hello Group’s Strategic Growth and International Expansion Drive Buy Rating

Benchmark Co. analyst Fawne Jiang reiterated a Buy rating on Hello Group (MOMO – Research Report) today and set a price target of $13.00.

Fawne Jiang has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Hello Group’s strategic positioning and potential for growth. The company is experiencing a pivotal moment, showing signs of a breakout driven by improved operational trends and increasing international momentum. Despite macroeconomic uncertainties, Hello Group’s domestic business is stabilizing, while its international segments, particularly in social entertainment and dating, are showing clear signs of growth. This is supported by a diversified international portfolio, with significant expansion in the MENA region and global dating markets.
Additionally, Hello Group’s recent financial performance underpins this positive outlook. In the first quarter of 2025, the company exceeded revenue expectations, demonstrating resilience and operational efficiency improvements. The company’s strategic focus on international expansion is expected to drive substantial revenue growth, with overseas revenue projected to increase significantly. As the fundamentals appear to be stabilizing and growth is anticipated to accelerate, Jiang sees this as a timely opportunity for investors, reinforcing the Buy rating with a price target of $13.
