XNET Xunlei Limited
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Xunlei (XNET) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $98.6M (+54.1% YoY), driven by subscription (+26.2%) and overseas audio live-streaming (+89.3%). However, GAAP net loss from continuing operations was $192.4M vs $0.2M loss a year ago, due to a $195.4M non-cash fair-value loss on a long-term investment in Arashi Vision Inc. Non-GAAP net income improved to $4.1M from $0.9M. The headline GAAP loss is massive but purely mark-to-market; the operating business is growing strongly.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The GAAP loss is a red herring — $195M is non-cash and relates to Arashi Vision's stock price drop since its 2025 IPO. The underlying business is accelerating: 54% revenue growth, swing to operating profitability ($4.3M vs -$1.0M), and non-GAAP EPS doubled. Subscription growth is steady (+26%); the live-streaming segment nearly doubled. Watch for management guidance on the earnings call — if forward commentary is positive, XNET could re-rate.
Key Facts
- Total revenues $98.6M, +54.1% YoY
- Subscription revenues $45.0M, +26.2% YoY
- Live-streaming & other revenues $53.6M, +89.3% YoY
- Gross profit $57.7M, +45.8% YoY; margin 58.5% vs 61.9%
- Operating income $4.3M vs operating loss of $1.0M a year ago
- GAAP net loss from continuing operations $192.4M on $195.4M fair-value loss on Arashi Vision investment
- Non-GAAP net income from continuing ops $4.1M vs $0.9M a year ago
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS (ADS) $0.07 vs $0.02 a year ago
- Cash + short-term investments $303.6M, up from $283.5M at end of 2025

Financial Impact
Revenue grew $34.6M YoY (+54%). GAAP net loss of $192.4M is entirely due to a $195.4M non-cash mark-to-market loss on one investment. Non-GAAP net income improved +$3.2M YoY.
Risk Factors
- Arashi Vision investment ($889M carrying value) remains volatile; further markdowns would again distort GAAP earnings
- Live-streaming revenue growth of 89% may slow; revenue-sharing costs compress margins
- The spin-off of Shenzhen Onething (discontinued ops) removes a revenue stream — future comparisons will lack that segment
- No raised guidance provided in this release; forward outlook is qualitative only
