All three major U.S. indices were in the green in Thursday&#8217;s midday trading, reversing earlier losses after President Donald Trump said that he held a &#8220;very good phone call&#8221; with China&#8217;s President Xi Jinping and more trade talks with Beijing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45787817/us-stocks-likely-to-open-on-a-mixed-note-after-dow-snaps-four-day-run-powell-and-the-fed-are-doing-the-right-thing-holding-rates-says-expert">will take place &#8220;shortly.&#8221;</a>
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.42%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained about 0.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.27%. 
The job market showed more signs of softening with initial jobless claims in the U.S. rising to 247,000, up from the previous week's revised figure of 239,000 and defying expectations for a decline, according to Trading Economics. On Wednesday, a disappointing private sector payrolls report showed only 37,000 jobs were added in May, well below forecasts.

The softer-than-expected labor reports have heightened anticipation for Friday's non-farm payrolls release. Economists expect a gain of 125,000 jobs for May, which would be 52,000 fewer than the previous month.

The operator of the Momo dating app said revenue from its global business could potentially double to 2 billion yuan this year
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hello Group's revenue fell 12% in the fourth quarter, while its net income plunged 59%, hurt by a livestreaming crackdown and declining users</li>
<li>The company is pivoting to international markets through its Soulchill and other new apps, targeting overseas revenue growth of up to 100% this year.</li>
</ul>
Hello Group Inc.&nbsp;(MOMO.US) hasn't been too popular on the social scene lately, despite its status as one of China's leading dating app operators.
The owner of Momo, once called the "Tinder of China," has faced years of declining fortunes, which showed no signs of abating in its&nbsp;<a href="https://ir.hellogroup.com/static-files/846c91b2-21ca-4377-944c-67eca869d9ee">latest quarterly report</a>&nbsp;released last week. The results revealed yet another across-the-board slump, with revenue, profitability, and paying memberships all down — extending a decline dating back to 2020, even as the company tries to reposition itself as more than just a hook-up app.
Facing unrelenting domestic pressures — including regulatory scrutiny, market saturation and shifting user behavior to other platforms like short video sensation Douyin — company executives are now ramping up a long-touted overseas strategy in search of relief. While Hello Group has explored international markets since 2020, its leadership last week pledged bolder action on that front, pointing to rapid progress over the past year.
Before taking a closer look at Hello Group's overseas expansion, including its 2024 progress and looming challenges, we'll unpack the company's latest quarterly results to show where it currently stands. Its report underscores that its domestic slump isn't easing, explaining why the company views international markets as its most viable route to jumpstart its business.
Hello Group reported revenue of 2.6 billion yuan ($359 million) for the quarter through December, down 12% year-over-year. This extends a pattern of quarterly contractions dating back to the first quarter of 2020, with only one brief respite in the second quarter of 2023 when it eked out 1% growth. On an annual basis, revenue also fell by 12% in 2024, marking a fifth consecutive year of decline since peaking in 2019.&nbsp;
The company's profitability also deteriorated significantly, with fourth-quarter net income tumbling 59% to 187.2 million yuan from 452.5 million yuan a year earlier. For all of 2024, net income fell by nearly 50% to 1 billion yuan.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">International expansion</h4>
Hello Group's declining fortunes stem partly from its struggle to keep pace with China's rapidly evolving social media landscape, where users are increasingly flocking to fast-growing new platforms, especially short video sites like Douyin and the popular Xiaohongshu social community site. The changing landscape is posing acute challenges for Hello Group's core business model of facilitating connections between strangers.
The company's struggle to adapt is reflected in the steady user declines across its two major apps, Momo and Tantan. In the fourth quarter, Tantan's monthly active users fell by 2.9 million to 10.8 million. While active user data for the larger Momo app wasn't disclosed, its paying users dropped to 5.7 million from 7.4 million year-over-year. Tantan's paying users similarly declined to 900,000 from 1.2 million. The declines are even more striking when compared to 2021, when Momo and Tantan boasted 9 million and 3 million paying users, respectively.
The company's falling revenue owes in no small part to the exodus of paying users, who primarily subscribe to premium services offering advanced features such as profile boosting. However, the most significant blow remains a regulatory crackdown that has limited gifting to livestreamers since 2020. That's severely affected Hello Group, as it heavily relied on commissions from user gifts to livestreamers.
The impact is evident in the company's revenue composition. In 2017 and 2018, livestreaming services contributed about 80% of Hello Group's revenue. But the amount has steadily declined during the clampdown, and in 2024 livestreaming revenue fell 16% year-over-year to 5.1 billion yuan, accounting for 48% of total revenue. Starting from the third quarter of 2023, value-added services — primarily membership fees — have overtaken livestreaming as the company's largest single revenue source.
This domestic crisis has forced Hello Group to step up its overseas drive, where executives see "clear growth potential" versus a more uncertain domestic market. The strategy centers on Soulchill, a social app targeting Middle Eastern markets. Soulchill's revenue surged 50% year-over-year in 2024 to nearly 1 billion yuan, overtaking Tantan's dwindling contribution. The company attributes the success to localized strategies, including culturally tailored virtual gifts and targeted livestreaming features.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Geographic expansion</h4>
According to CFO Peng Hui, the company plans to expand beyond its current markets of Turkey, Egypt, and Persian Gulf countries into developed markets in 2025, though specific targets remain undisclosed.
Hello Group is further expanding its overseas portfolio with two new apps launched in late 2023: Yaahlan, an Arabic-focused audio social game app combining gaming with voice interactions, and AMAR, a voice-based platform targeting young users in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). According to COO Zhang Sichuan, both apps began monetization in late 2024 and are generating stable returns despite initial marketing costs.
CFO Peng projects overseas revenue will grow from 1 billion yuan in 2024 to between 1.7 billion yuan and 2 billion yuan in 2025. "If (return on investment) remains stable, we could see these newer apps reach Soulchill's current revenue scale by year-end," Peng noted on the company's earnings call. Peng said that profitability remains secondary to scaling efforts for now, meaning the overseas push is likely to keep eroding Hello Group's profits for at least the next year or two.
The expansion strategy also comes with its own risks. The company's heavy Middle East focus suggests a need for rapid diversification, as evidenced by COO Zhang's acknowledgment that instability in the MENA region impacted user spending in late 2024. Hello Group also faces competition in the region from two other social media companies with Chinese backgrounds,&nbsp;Yalla&nbsp;(YALA.US) and&nbsp;Newborn Town&nbsp;(9911.HK).
Marketing costs could also surge as Hello Group enters competitive Western markets, where it will face stiff competition from both established local rivals as well as global players like&nbsp;Match Group&nbsp;(MTCH.US).
Despite these challenges, executives view overseas expansion as crucial. COO Zhang emphasized that the company's "long-standing expertise in social entertainment products" justifies shifting resources to international markets, where it expects better returns than in the stagnant and highly competitive domestic market.
Investors remain skeptical. Hello Group's shares tumbled 8% the day of the earnings release, reflecting concerns about the sustainability of its domestic cash cow service and the capital required for overseas bets. The stock is up 12% over the last six months, but that's well behind the 45% rally for the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index over that time, showing investors are hardly convinced on the company's turnaround strategy.

In the ever-evolving landscape of global markets, our Perfect Stock Portfolio continues to validate Benjamin Graham&#8217;s timeless principles. Despite the constant refrain that &#8220;value is dead&#8221; and &#8220;book value doesn&#8217;t work,&#8221; our approach of identifying financially sound businesses trading at steep discounts to book value while paying dividends has consistently outperformed the broader market in robust backtesting over the past 25 years.
U.S. Market Overview: Strong Performance Amid Bond Concerns The U.S. markets have maintained their upward trajectory, with the S&amp;P 500 (Ticker: SPY) climbing 3.83%, the (Ticker: QQQ) advancing 4.49%, and the Russell 2000 (IWM) gaining 2.98%. However, a notable concern exists: bonds remain in a downtrend while stocks push higher – an unusual divergence that typically resolves either through bond prices rallying or stocks eventually following bonds lower. Historical patterns suggest caution, as several major stock market corrections were preceded by exactly this type of divergence.
The U.S. economy remains fundamentally strong. Unemployment sits at 4%, consumer spending continues despite inflation grumbles, and small businesses are raising prices even as their post-election optimism fades. January&#8217;s CPI report came in hotter than expected, catching the perpetually inaccurate Wall Street and government economists off guard yet again. The Federal Reserve, under Jerome Powell&#8217;s leadership, appears committed to maintaining higher rates to combat persistent inflation, despite political pressure for rate cuts.
Europe: The Sleeping Giant Awakens While everyone&#8217;s been fixated on U.S. markets, something remarkable is happening across the Atlantic. The Euro Stoxx 50 surged 8.5% in January – its strongest monthly performance in years. The Stoxx Europe 600 gained 6.4%, and even the UK&#8217;s FTSE rose 6.1%. Perhaps most surprisingly, Germany&#8217;s DAX reached an all-time high on January 25th, despite the country&#8217;s well-documented challenges with energy policy and immigration.
European corporate earnings have been robust, and valuations remain notably attractive compared to U.S. markets. This valuation disconnect is finally attracting serious capital flows. The ECB&#8217;s recent 25 basis point rate cut to 2.75% marks their fifth reduction in seven months, signaling a commitment to supporting economic growth while managing inflation, which currently runs at 2.3%.
Asia: China&#8217;s Forceful Intervention and Japan&#8217;s Corporate Revolution China&#8217;s government has taken unprecedented steps to support its equity markets, mandating increased stock purchases by state-owned insurers and banks. The initiative is expected to inject approximately $138 billion annually into their $12 trillion market over the coming years. Despite ongoing concerns about deflation and property market troubles, Chinese tech stocks have surged, with the Hang Seng tech index up 25% from January lows, outpacing U.S. tech performance year-to-date.
Japan is experiencing a genuine corporate governance revolution. The Tokyo Stock Exchange&#8217;s new guidelines demanding improved ROE and higher valuations have sparked meaningful change. Companies are finally embracing shareholder-friendly practices, including dividend increases and share buybacks. Western activist investors like Oasis Management and Elliott Management are finding success where previous attempts failed, thanks to unprecedented government support for corporate reform.
Perfect Stock Portfolio Performance Our portfolio delivered an impressive 4.5% return last month, outperforming the S&amp;P 500. Standout performers included AP Moller-Maersk, Commerzbank, and several Asian holdings. The portfolio maintains its value characteristics, trading at just 77% of tangible book value while offering a dividend yield around 4% – four times that of the S&amp;P 500.
These results continue to validate our investment approach: identifying good businesses with strong balance sheets, ample liquidity, and substantial undervaluation that pay dividends to shareholders. While we won&#8217;t outperform every month, this low-maintenance, easily implemented strategy has proven its ability to generate market-beating returns over time.
The message remains clear: despite the naysayers, value investing isn&#8217;t dead – it&#8217;s alive and thriving for those willing to look beyond the headlines and stick to time-tested principles. As global markets evolve and new opportunities emerge in Europe and Asia, our disciplined approach to identifying deeply undervalued, financially sound businesses continues to serve investors well.

The Perfect Stocks Portfolio: Global Value Investing in a Changing World

In an era of global interconnectivity, The Perfect Stocks Portfolio has embraced a truly international approach to value investing, incorporating companies from diverse markets including the United States, China, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. This strategic global diversification follows the time-tested principles of Benjamin Graham, the founder of modern security analysis and father of value investing.
Investment Philosophy and Strategy
The portfolio&#8217;s foundation rests on Graham&#8217;s fundamental criteria for selecting stocks: profitable companies that pay dividends and maintain strong balance sheets. This global approach is particularly relevant today, as the United States currently represents 60-70% of global market cap—a level not seen since the 1970s, before a significant market correction.
While maintaining a focus on liquidity and ensuring all stocks can be traded in the United States, the portfolio seeks high-quality, dividend-paying, undervalued companies worldwide. This approach takes advantage of valuation distortions across different markets while recognizing the interconnected nature of global business.
Current Market Environment
The U.S. market maintains a strong uptrend, continuing its 20-month momentum with only brief interruptions. Despite rapid interest rate increases, the American consumer has demonstrated remarkable resilience, maintaining spending levels that keep pace with inflation. This strength is exemplified by recent impressive earnings from companies like Costco, which reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings growth.
The job market remains healthy, though showing signs of moderation. Wage pressure has been kept in check by productivity increases and legal immigration. However, inflation remains sticky around 3%, with recent Producer Price Index (PPI) data surprising to the upside.
Regional Market Updates
China has implemented a $1.4 trillion stimulus program—its most aggressive monetary policy since 2008-2009. While market expectations vary between 4-5% growth, the administration&#8217;s commitment to economic reinvigoration suggests potential for additional stimulus measures.
Japan's economy shows moderate recovery with consumer spending and capital investment growth. The Bank of Japan&#8217;s upcoming policy decisions are closely watched, with mixed expectations regarding potential rate hikes. The country recently approved a $250 billion stimulus package to support household spending and economic activity.
Europe markets face ongoing challenges, though the European Central Bank has implemented a 25-basis-point rate cut. While inflation control has improved, growth remains a concern. The United Kingdom continues to navigate political and economic challenges.

Portfolio News
ROHM Semiconductor (Ticker: ROHCY) and Nanjing SemiDrive Technology Ltd. have jointly developed a smart cockpit reference design, integrating SemiDrive&#8217;s X9M and X9E automotive System-on-Chips (S with ROHM&#8217;s Power Management ICs (PMICs), Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) ICs, and LED driver ICs. This collaboration aims to enhance the functionality and efficiency of vehicle cockpits, supporting up to three display projections and four Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras. Several automakers have adopted the reference design to advance smart cockpit applications.
The collaboration between ROHM Semiconductor and SemiDrive represents an important advancement in smart cockpit technology. To understand its significance, let&#8217;s first break down what a smart cockpit is and why this reference design matters.
A smart cockpit in modern vehicles is essentially the command center where all driver information, entertainment, and control systems come together. Think of it as the digital dashboard and control interface that helps drivers interact with their vehicle&#8217;s various systems.
The key innovation here lies in the integration of several sophisticated components:
The foundation is built on SemiDrive&#8217;s X9M and X9E automotive System-on-Chips. These are like the brains of the operation &#8211; imagine them as powerful computers condensed onto single chips, specifically designed for automotive use. They handle the complex processing needed for multiple displays and cameras.
A.P. Moller-Maersk (Ticker: AMKBY), a leading Danish shipping and logistics company, anticipates a 5% to 7% growth in global container volumes for 2025, driven by robust U.S. demand amid potential port strikes and tariffs on foreign goods.
&nbsp;This outlook contrasts with recent trends; in 2023, Maersk reported a 6% decline in loaded volumes during the second quarter compared to the same period in 2022, reflecting a broader industry downturn.
&nbsp;The company has also implemented significant cost-cutting measures, including plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 10,000 positions in response to challenging market conditions.
Johnson Outdoors Inc. (Ticker: JOUT), a global innovator in outdoor recreation equipment and technology, reported a challenging fiscal year ending September 27, 2024. The company faced an 11% decline in revenue, totaling $592.8 million, attributed to market challenges and competitive pressures across all segments. This downturn led to an operating loss of $43.5 million, a significant drop from the previous year&#8217;s operating profit of $11.7 million.
The fiscal fourth quarter saw net sales of $105.9 million, up $9.5 million from the same period last year. However, the quarter ended with an operating loss of $42.8 million, exacerbated by increased promotional pricing, a shift toward lower-margin products, and inventory reserves on slow-moving and obsolete stock.
Despite these challenges, Johnson Outdoors maintained a strong financial position, reporting $162.0 million in cash and investments as of September 27, 2024, with no debt. The company remains focused on consumer-driven innovation, enhancing go-to-market strategies, and improving operational efficiencies to achieve long-term profitable growth.
Africa Oil Corp. (Ticker: AOIHF) recently concluded a share buyback program and initiated a new one. Between December 2 and December 6, 2024, the company repurchased 815,000 shares, with 320,000 shares acquired on the TSX and 495,000 on Nasdaq Stockholm. The transactions were executed by Scotia Capital Inc. and Pareto Securities, respectively. All repurchased shares will be cancelled.
Under the share buyback program launched on December 4, 2023, which expired on December 5, 2024, Africa Oil repurchased a total of 23,987,632 common shares, falling short of the authorized maximum of 38,654,702 shares.
On December 6, 2024, the company initiated a new share buyback program, repurchasing 174,000 shares on its first day. This program allows for a maximum of 18,362,364 shares to be repurchased over 12 months, concluding on December 5, 2025. Both programs comply with the EU Market Abuse Regulation, Safe Harbour Regulation, and the relevant Canadian and Swedish securities laws.
