Core Viewpoint - Kuaishou's fourth-quarter performance reflects a platform in the "second half of the dividend period," facing challenges in user growth and competition, particularly in the live e-commerce sector, which is evolving faster than internal transformations [14][21][29]. Group 1: E-commerce Performance - The fourth-quarter GMV reached CNY 462.1 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 14%, indicating a slight slowdown compared to previous quarters [2][29]. - Kuaishou's GMV from the general merchandise category has only reached 30%, lagging behind competitors like Douyin, which is approaching 40% and expected to exceed 50% this year [3][29]. - The average monthly shopping buyers increased to 143 million, with a penetration rate of 19.5%, driven by efforts to attract new merchants, especially small and medium-sized businesses [4][29]. Group 2: Advertising Revenue - Fourth-quarter advertising revenue grew by only 13% year-on-year, reflecting a significant slowdown due to macroeconomic factors and intense competition [6][33]. - E-commerce advertising growth followed GMV trends, slowing to 14%, while external advertising dropped from nearly 25% to 15% [6][33]. - The competition from platforms like Douyin and the rising popularity of video accounts are putting pressure on Kuaishou's advertising revenue [35]. Group 3: User Growth and Engagement - Kuaishou's MAU increased to 736 million, with a net addition of 22 million users in the fourth quarter, outperforming market expectations [7][21]. - However, user engagement metrics such as DAU/MAU ratios have declined, indicating challenges in retaining new users [7][23]. - The average daily time spent per user was 126 minutes, showing only a marginal increase, which suggests that user stickiness remains a concern [23].

Group 5: AI and Future Outlook - The potential of AI, particularly through the Keling service, is seen as a key driver for future revenue growth, with expectations of generating CNY 5-10 billion this year [15][17]. - AI's role in enhancing content recommendation and operational efficiency could improve user engagement and advertising ROI, although the long-term sustainability of this growth remains uncertain [16][17]. - The overall valuation of Kuaishou is closely tied to market sentiment around AI, with current estimates suggesting a P/E ratio of around 11x, indicating room for valuation improvement [18].
