Read MoreHide Full Article

DouYu International Holdings Limited (DOYU - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Nov 5. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.4%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 69.2%, on average.

Q3 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at 3 cents, suggesting a decline of 25% year over year. Over the past 30 days, the company’s earnings estimates have been revised downward by 76.9%. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues stands at $367.4 million, suggesting growth of 40.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Factors to Note

The company’s third-quarter performance might have benefited from enhancement of eSport live streaming capability and expansion of content offering beyond live streaming. Moreover, increase in mobile monthly active users (MAU) might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.

Moreover, promotion of fresh game live streaming content, production of superior eSport-centric live streaming content and event are likely to have contributed to the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.

Further, the company might have witnessed robust advertising and other revenues growth. Average paying user count, which increased 15.4% in the second quarter, is likely to have sustained momentum in the third quarter.
