SINGAPORE, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JOYY Inc.

JOYY is undergoing a successful transformation, evidenced by Q1 revenue growth of 12.4% YoY. The market, however, seems to have turned a blind eye to this turnaround success.

The Q1 FY2026 report came at a crucial time with the stock in need of assistance to fend off a breakdown further into bear market territory. JOYY managed to reverse a precarious situation with an acceleration in growth and increased capital returns to shareholders. JOYY has a lot going for it, but it is also not without blemishes, which includes more goodwill on the balance sheet some may be comfortable with.

JOYY stays undervalued in light of a supersized program for shareholder returns. 1Q26 results largely meet expectations, with revenue rising and gross margin slightly shrinking. I maintain a buy rating with an adjusted price target of $94.5, based on discounted dividends and the company's net cash.
