Weibo’s advertising and marketing revenues increased by 2% Y/Y at $398.6 million. Value-added service (VAS) revenues increased 25% Y/Y to $65.9 million.

Monthly active users (MAUs) were 587 million in September 2024 (vs. 605 million Y/Y), while Average daily active users (DAUs) were 257 million (vs. 260 million Y/Y). 

The adjusted operating margin declined by 200 bps to 35% as profits remained relatively flat Y/Y.

Weibo CEO Gaofei Wang highlighted the company’s strong quarterly performance, emphasizing efforts to attract and engage high-quality users. The advertising business showed stabilization, with significant revenue growth in key sectors fueled by ad demand during the Summer Olympics.

The value-added services segment also performed well, driven by upgraded membership offerings that enhanced users’ social interactions on the platform.

Weibo stock plunged over 19% year-to-date.
