Read MoreHide Full Article

JOYY (YY - Free Report) is expected to release its third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 28.

For third-quarter 2022, JOYY expects revenues between $561.5 million and $593.5 million.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged at $580.16 million, indicating a decline of 10.82% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is currently pegged at 52 cents per share, constant for the past 30 days. JOYY reported earnings of 42 cents in the year-ago quarter.

The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 570.83%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for JOYY prior to this announcement.

Factors to Note

The current macroeconomic conditions with high inflation, and increased interest rates are likely to have negatively impacted consumer spending in the third quarter of 2022.

Its products, such as Likee and Hago, which are still loss-making, could have hindered growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

In the second quarter, BIGO Live’s live-streaming revenues and paying users decreased 10.22% and 8.1%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. This was due to the global macroeconomic uncertainties and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against certain other local currencies that negatively affected users’ paying activities, as well as the seasonality during the two Ramadan holidays in the Middle East.

However, BIGO Live’s monthly active users (MAUs) reached 32.6 million, up 10.6% year over year, in the second quarter.

In the last reported quarter, global average mobile MAUs declined 11.2% year over year to 273.1 million due to the decrease in average mobile MAUs of Likee and Hago as the company reduced spending on user acquisition via advertisement.

Nonetheless, JOYY’s innovative product launches in the second quarter, incorporating Bigo Live‘s virtual live and community, Likee’s Loop, interest-based community feature, and HAGO’s 3D HAGO space, which serve to improve the quality and the efficiency of users' social experience, are expected to have driven revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
