Saiyi He has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Weibo’s recent financial performance and strategic advancements. The company’s net revenue and non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2025 surpassed expectations, indicating improved operational efficiency and successful debt collection. Despite challenges in the advertising sector, particularly in certain verticals, Weibo’s progress in AI technology is promising for long-term growth.
The AI-driven initiatives, such as the Intelligent Search and AI ad creative platform, have shown significant user engagement and potential for future monetization. Furthermore, Weibo’s valuation appears attractive, trading at a lower multiple compared to its peers, while offering a solid dividend yield. These elements combined suggest a favorable outlook for Weibo, justifying the Buy rating despite some short-term uncertainties.
