- Revenue Decline: In Q3 2025, total net revenue was RMB 2.65 billion (USD 372.3 million), a 0.9% decrease from RMB 2.67 billion in Q3 2024, primarily due to weak consumer sentiment in the domestic market, indicating intensified competitive pressures.
- Overseas Growth: Despite the overall revenue decline, overseas revenue surged from RMB 316.4 million to RMB 534.8 million (USD 75.1 million) year-over-year, highlighting significant success in expanding social entertainment brands in the MENA region.
- Rising Operating Costs: Total costs and expenses reached RMB 2.31 billion (USD 324.4 million) in Q3, up 1.0% year-over-year, mainly driven by increased revenue sharing with overseas app partners, reflecting the company's heightened investment in international markets.
- Profit Decline: Q3 2025 net income was RMB 349.6 million (USD 49.1 million), down 22.1% from RMB 449.4 million in Q3 2024, indicating challenges in profitability that necessitate improved cost control and strategic market adjustments.

Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Hello Group to $7 from $5.90 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The company reported Q3 results with revenue largely in line but adjusted earnings above consensus, which was mainly attributable to better than expected margin and spending control, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
