StoneX cut its target for Hello Group from USD 10.00 to USD 8.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on September 27, 2026, according to Tickeron. Against the USD 4.76 Nasdaq price, the revised target stood 68.07 percent above the stock. Hello Group stock was trading at EUR 4.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 6:44 p.m. CEST.
Revenue pressure remains visible
Hello Group's second-quarter revenue fell 5.10 percent year over year to RMB 2.49 billion for the period ended June 30, 2026. The figure came with adjusted diluted earnings per American depositary share of USD 0.26, compared with a USD 0.22 consensus estimate, according to Benzinga.
The contrast inside the business is material. Overseas revenue rose 52.00 percent year over year to RMB 673.00 million in the second quarter, while domestic revenue fell 17.00 percent. The overseas figure represented 27.00 percent of group revenue, up from 17.00 percent a year earlier.
Price position and trading range
The Nasdaq quote was USD 4.76 at 4:57 p.m. ET on October 15, 2026, up 1.17 percent on the session. Hello Group's 52-week range was USD 4.61 to USD 7.25, placing the primary-market price USD 0.15 above its low and USD 2.49 below its high. Trading volume was 147,738 shares against an average of 747,884.
Valuation and reporting calendar
Hello Group had a market capitalization of USD 685.9 million, a P/E ratio of 4.68 and a dividend yield of 0.06 percent as of October 15, 2026. The company operates Momo and Tantan within a broader portfolio of social and dating applications, according to Hello Group. Its investor page identifies the listing as Nasdaq under the ticker MOMO.
The investor calendar did not list a dated upcoming event. The next quarterly report therefore remains the key scheduled checkpoint for testing whether overseas growth can offset domestic pressure.
Comparison with peers
MOMO (NASDAQ, USD): plus 1.17 percent, P/E 4.68, market capitalization USD 685.9 million.
Bilibili (NASDAQ, USD): plus 0.56 percent, P/E 28.01, market capitalization USD 5.9 billion.
Bumble (NASDAQ, USD): minus 0.42 percent, P/E minus 1.54, market capitalization USD 784.5 million.
What the target says about valuation
The revised USD 8.00 target remains well above the Nasdaq price, but the lower target from USD 10.00 reflects a more cautious earnings backdrop. The next results will put the 52.00 percent overseas revenue growth and the 17.00 percent domestic decline into a new comparison.
