Key Takeaways
- Q2 2026 revenue increased 38.9% year over year to $102.7 million, driven by subscription services, overseas audio live streaming and stronger Hupu advertising revenue.
- Subscription revenue rose 22.6% to $44.5 million. Live streaming and other services revenue increased 54.8% to $58.2 million.
- Gross profit grew 23.1% to $57.3 million, but gross margin fell to 55.8% from 63.0% as lower-margin live streaming became a larger part of the revenue mix.

- Non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, compared with non-GAAP net income of $7.2 million in Q2 2025.
