The accelerating shift from declining live streaming to high-growth game publishing (54.1% YoY) and the doubling of the buyback to $100M are strong signals. Monitor Goose Goose Duck mobile's sustained chart performance and the upcoming launches of 'The Legend of Swordman: Reunion' and 'Xiao Xiao Qi Yu' for continued revenue diversification. The 57.7% jump in sales and marketing spend needs to show a clear ROI in user acquisition and monetization in the next quarter.
