Bilibili Inc. Sponsored ADR Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Mobile game revenues (47.6% of total revenues) grew 36% year over year to RMB1.24 billion ($176.6 million), primarily owing to the success of newly launched mobile game Princess Connect, and the sustained stable performance of existing mobile games.
Value-added services revenues (31.5% of total revenues) surged 153% year over year to RMB825.3 million ($116.8 million). This was primarily attributed to the company’s enhanced monetization efforts, led by increases in the number of paying users for the company’s premium membership program, live broadcasting services and other value-added services.
Advertising revenues (13.3% of total revenues) soared 108% year over year to RMB348.6 million ($49.3 million), mainly attributable to the increase in the number of advertisers, driven by further recognition of Bilibili’s brand name in China’s online advertising market.
E-commerce & others revenues (7.4% of total revenues) were up 58% year over year to RMB195.8 million ($27.7 million), primarily due to higher sales of products through the company’s e-commerce platform.
Operating Details
Gross profit surged 140% year over year to RMB604 million ($85.5 million).
Selling and marketing expenses skyrocketed 181% year over year to RMB675.1 million ($95.6 million). The improvement was primarily attributed to rising channel and marketing expenses associated with the app and the brand, and promotional expenses for Bilibili’s mobile games.
Additionally, an increase in headcount and rising fulfillment costs associated with Bilibili’s e-commerce business resulted in higher expenses.
General and administrative expenses grew 48% year over year to RMB208.4 million ($29.5 million), primarily attributable to a rise in personnel-related expenses.
Research and development expenses soared 53% year over year to RMB330.6 million ($46.7 million), primarily due to an increase in headcount and share-based compensation expenses.
Operating expenses surged 103% year over year to $171.8 million.
Outlook
For the third quarter of 2020, Bilibili expects net revenues between RMB3.05 billion and RMB3.1 billion.
Zacks Rank and Key Picks
Currently, Bilibili carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
The long-term earnings growth rate for Apple, Lam Research and Synaptics is currently pegged at 10.6%, 15.4%, and 10%, respectively.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
