On August 19, KUAISHOU-W fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$38.08/share, with turnover of HK$367 million. The decline came as the company is set to release interim results after market close today, while sentiment was further weighed down by ongoing AI talent losses.

On the news front, core researchers Wang Meng and Wang Xintao from KUAISHOU-W's Keling AI video generation unit have recently departed, following the earlier departure of former technical lead Zhang Di to Alibaba. This marks three key personnel losses within less than a year, raising market concerns over slowing iteration speed and weakened valuation support for the Keling business.

On the fundamental side, analysts expect quarterly revenue of approximately RMB 35.4 billion, representing only 2.90% year-over-year growth, with earnings per share projected to decline roughly 38% year-over-year. Traditional business deceleration combined with AI investment weighing on margins remains a core focus ahead of results. The broader Hang Seng Tech Index also opened down 1.27%, adding to sector-wide pressure.
