Core Viewpoint - Keep's earnings forecast indicates a significant reduction in losses for the fiscal year 2025, with a projected loss of approximately 72 million RMB, a substantial decrease of 87% compared to the previous year's loss of 535 million RMB. The company expects to achieve an adjusted net profit of around 25 million RMB, a turnaround from an adjusted net loss of 470 million RMB in the same period last year. This performance is seen as a pivotal moment for the internet fitness sector, which has faced skepticism regarding its "burning cash for growth" strategy. The improvement in profitability is attributed to two strategic pillars: a focus on AI development and optimization of business structure [1][2]. Group 1: Improvement Paths - The first path to improvement is the transformation of AI technology from a "cost center" to a "profit engine." The announcement highlights that through refined operations across all business lines, the operational efficiency of each segment has improved, with high-margin business contributions increasing. This implies that AI technology not only enhances user experience but also reconstructs the operational leverage curve of content. The application of AI-generated content (AIGC) and AI coaches allows Keep to provide personalized guidance to users at near-zero marginal costs, thus driving overall gross margin upward [2][4]. - The second path involves the "active slimming" and "precise focus" of the consumer goods business. The announcement mentions that the company has achieved effective cost control through marketing optimization, supply chain improvements, and enhanced administrative efficiency. This reflects Keep's strategic choice to abandon low-efficiency, low-margin product categories in favor of focusing on advantageous and high-potential categories, developing deeply around core user groups and high-frequency exercise scenarios. The rebound growth of core self-branded categories in the second half of 2025 validates this focus strategy [2][5]. Group 2: Sustainable Profitability and Market Dynamics - Keep's profitability in 2025 is seen as an initial result of strategic adjustments, but the market needs to focus on the sustainability of this profitability. The announcement reveals that Keep's earnings are not solely reliant on cost-cutting but rather on a genuine operational model upgrade achieved through AI technology, converting technological investments into sustainable profit outputs [3][6]. - The traditional fitness industry has long faced a fundamental pain point: the high cost of one-on-one services versus the personalized needs of users. Keep is breaking this "cost wall" with AI technology, evolving from a "content recommendation platform" to an "intelligent generation platform." This evolution allows for the complete release of scale effects, where the marginal cost of content supply approaches zero, and personalized services can be scaled to serve millions of users simultaneously, enhancing operational leverage and gross margins [4][5]. Group 3: User Growth and ARPU Potential - The effects of the strategic transformation are already reflected in operational data. In the first half of 2025, Keep initiated a critical strategic shift by deploying AI infrastructure and restructuring its system platform into an AI coach service system. This adjustment not only changes the technical architecture but also fundamentally reconstructs the business model. The penetration rate of AI features is rapidly increasing, with daily active users (DAU) of AI features reaching approximately 150,000 to 200,000 by July 2025, which is expected to significantly enhance user stickiness and usage duration [6][7]. - The growth of user scale is driven by three factors: a temporary reduction in growth investment to focus on attracting long-term high-value users, the maturity of AI Coach functions allowing for a reasonable growth budget to be reinstated, and the introduction of new content categories through AIGC that will attract a broader audience [7][8]. Group 4: Valuation and Market Perception - The current market valuation of Keep is still largely based on the framework of an "internet fitness platform" or "sports consumer goods company." However, as the AI strategy deepens, the valuation logic is undergoing a qualitative change. The transition from PE (price-to-earnings) valuation to PS (price-to-sales) valuation, and then to PEG (price-to-earnings growth) and comprehensive pricing based on AI user value, represents a typical path for technology companies' valuation leaps. Keep is at the starting point of this leap [7][8]. - The establishment of a profitability turning point in 2025, with adjusted net profit turning positive, signifies that the company has escaped the "bleeding growth" phase. This profitability was achieved during a strategic contraction period focused on core users. Once AI functions mature and growth investments are resumed, both user scale and ARPU are expected to experience a "Davis Double-Click," driving accelerated revenue and profit growth [8][9].
