Yatsen

Yatsen staged an intraday surge and retreat today, initially spiking to $3.49 on news of a partnership with Sephora China, before falling back to $3.27, down 0.9%. While Q1 revenue rose 28.71% YoY to $147.7 million, EPS of -$0.0933 reversed sharply from Q4's $0.0123 profit, with net margin turning negative to -5.93%, casting doubt on the sustainability of fundamental improvement. The stock trades 69.44% below its 52-week high of $10.7, sits below the 20-day MA of $3.457 but above the 60-day MA of $3.129, suggesting short-term weakness amid a potential medium-term bottoming process.

Yatsen Holding (YSG.US) gapped down about 6.6% in regular trading on July 22, opening at $3.26 after a pre-market session that saw only 500 shares trade at $3.48, barely below the prior close of $3.49. The first regular bar recorded just 103 shares, reflecting extremely thin liquidity that amplified the price drop. Although the company recently announced that its Perfect Diary brand would enter Sephora's approximately 300 stores in China, the news failed to support the stock. Meanwhile, Q1 2026 net loss widened to $8.75 million (YoY -1,099%), with EPS of -$0.0933, a sharp reversal from Q4 2025's profit of $0.0123 per share; revenue grew 28.7% YoY to $147.7 million, but net margin was -5.93%. At $3.26, the stock is 69.5% below its 52-week high of $10.7 and under its 20-day moving average of $3.44, indicating persistent weakness. However, the price-to-book ratio of 0.72x suggests the stock is trading at a deep discount to book value.

Yatsen closed down 4.32% at $3.54, with a slight post-market recovery to $3.57, as the company swung to a Q1 loss with EPS of -$0.0933 and a net loss of $8.75 million, a year-over-year deterioration of 1,099%, despite revenue growth of 28.71% to $147.7 million. The stock peaked at $3.71 in intraday trading before retreating to a low of $3.50, with a daily range of about 5.7%. The current price remains 67.82% below its 52-week high of $11, below the 20-day MA of $3.406 but above the 60-day MA of $3.091, with a YTD decline of 16.51%. Recent news of Perfect Diary's expansion into Sephora China's ~300 stores offers a positive catalyst, though concerns over the pace of profitability recovery persist.

Yatsen Holding (YSG.US) dropped to $3.36 in pre-market trading but opened slightly higher at $3.62, rose to an intraday high of $3.70, then retreated to close at $3.53, down 2.5% from the prior close of $3.62. The session saw a spike-and-fade pattern, driven by a tug-of-war between positive channel expansion news and persistent earnings losses. The company announced that its Perfect Diary brand will enter Sephora China's approximately 300 stores, reinforcing its science-led beauty positioning. However, Q1 revenue grew 28.7% YoY to $147.7 million while net loss widened to $8.75 million, with EPS of -$0.0933, swinging from a profit a year ago. The stock at $3.53 sits between the 52-week low of $2.15 and high of $11.04, down 68% from the peak but still above its MA20 of $3.347 and MA60 of $3.067. YTD decline stands at 16.75%, though a P/B of 0.78x suggests a deeply discounted valuation.

Yatsen Holding rallied intraday, closing up 5.1% at $3.605, driven by its partnership with Sephora China to bring Perfect Diary into about 300 stores. The stock opened regular session at $3.43 and climbed steadily. Q1 revenue rose 28.7% YoY to $147.7M, but net loss was $8.75M vs a profit in Q4 2025, with EPS of -$0.0933 and ROE of -8.16%. The stock is 67.35% below its 52-week high of $11.04, YTD down 14.98%, yet trades above both its 20-day ($3.327) and 60-day ($3.061) MAs, and is 67.67% above the 52-week low of $2.15. However, post-market trading saw the price slip back to $3.43 on minimal volume of 9 shares.
