Thesis Summary

MOGU Inc. is transitioning its business model to stabilize its core KOL-driven e-commerce platform while expanding its MCN operations on external social e-commerce platforms. While the company has shown positive top-line growth in the first half of fiscal year 2026 (revenues up 11% YoY to RMB68.7 million) and a narrowing operating loss, it remains unprofitable from core operations. The strategic decision to allocate up to US$20 million of corporate assets to digital currencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) and acquire a minority stake in an AI infrastructure company introduces significant non-operational volatility and risk, warranting a cautious Hold stance.

Scenarios · 12-month scenario targetsAnchored at research date
Bear CaseDownside scenario
$1.2015%

KOL lifecycle management challenges persist, leading to a renewed decline in GMV. High volatility or regulatory crackdowns on digital currencies result in significant treasury write-downs, while the deconsolidation of Ruisha Technology weakens supply chain synergies, widening operating losses.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$2.2060%

MOGU's core platform and MCN operations continue to stabilize with moderate revenue growth. Operating losses continue to narrow gradually through cost-reduction and efficiency enhancements, while the digital currency treasury allocation remains partially deployed, keeping the stock range-bound.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$3.5025%

Successful scaling of external MCN operations and realization of supply chain synergies between the core platform and external KOLs drive sustained double-digit revenue growth. Additionally, the strategic investment in digital currencies yields substantial treasury gains, and the AI infrastructure investment successfully enhances platform conversion rates.

Scenarios reflect our research view at the research date.
