0327 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry. Trump said on Thu, Mar 26 on social media that, at Iran's request, planned strikes on Iran's energy facilities would be pushed back 10 days to 8pm ET on Apr 6.He had earlier moved the 48-hour ultimatum issued on Mar 21 out by five days to Mar 27. Iran denied making a direct request, saying there had only been indirect information exchanges, per today's headlines.Given the current setup, a substantive agreement before Apr 6 looks unlikely. Even after the extension, military escalation could still resume, and the geopolitical risk premium has not fully cleared...

Kuaishou

Hot topic

$KUAISHOU-W(01024.HK) sold off mainly on guidance from a small-group meeting (1Q26 &amp; 2026), which was broadly weak and fell well short of buy-side expectations. Management flagged pressure on top-line growth alongside higher investment, implying a sharp YoY decline in profit.1) Biggest drag: e-comm growth concerns — ads guided to low single-digit and GMV to stop being disclosed next year. Management now expects ad revenue growth of 8-9% in Q1 and 6-7% for the full year, a marked slowdown vs. 2025. While GMV will no longer be reported next year...

On Mar 17 (Beijing time), after the HK close and ahead of the US pre-market, $Tencent Music(TME.US) released its Q4 2025 results. Q4 was a mixed bag. The 'second curve' kept gaining traction, but an unstable user ecosystem slowed subscription revenue growth, so Dolphin Research’s overall read is cautious.1) Users kept slipping. MAU fell by 23 mn QoQ in Q4, a bit worse than typical seasonal attrition. Over a longer horizon, the trend remains down.We think the company may ramp up user acquisition spend. This could include initiatives after regulatory approval of the Ximalaya acquisition...
