The Q1 FY2026 report came at a crucial time with the stock in need of assistance to fend off a breakdown further into bear market territory. JOYY managed to reverse a precarious situation with an acceleration in growth and increased capital returns to shareholders. JOYY has a lot going for it, but it is also not without blemishes, which includes more goodwill on the balance sheet some may be comfortable with.

JOYY stays undervalued in light of a supersized program for shareholder returns. 1Q26 results largely meet expectations, with revenue rising and gross margin slightly shrinking. I maintain a buy rating with an adjusted price target of $94.5, based on discounted dividends and the company's net cash.

My 'Buy' rating for JOYY Inc. remains intact, following my assessment of its financial and capital return prospects. JOYY's 1Q26 revenue rose 12.4% YoY, with its above-consensus 2Q26 guidance of $571.5 million implying an even superior 12.6% increase. JOYY has raised its targeted shareholder returns for FY26-28 from $900 million previously to $1.5 billion now.
