Kuaishou-W (01024) experienced a significant decline of 5.01% during intraday trading on Wednesday, underperforming the broader market.

The stock's sharp drop was attributed to broad-based selling pressure across the Interactive Media & Services sector, with major peers including Tencent Holdings and Bilibili-W also trading lower. This sector-wide weakness created a negative sentiment that weighed on Kuaishou's performance.

Additionally, the decline represents a partial retracement of recent gains, as the stock had rallied over 5% just two days earlier supported by buyback activity and AI business financing news. Fundamental concerns also contributed to the selling pressure, with the company reporting a 27.02% year-over-year decline in Q1 net profit and gross margin contraction from 54.6% to 51.2% due to rising revenue-sharing costs and infrastructure expenses.
