Top-line growth is strong (+38.9% YoY) and validates the To-C pivot, but the core business is now operating at a loss (operating loss of $4.8M) and non-GAAP profitability has reversed. The massive fair-value swing in the Arashi Vision stake introduces GAAP earnings volatility unrelated to operations. Monitor the Q3 earnings call for guidance on whether operating margins can improve and for updates on the share repurchase execution. The stock may trade on the revenue beat vs. the profit miss — expect choppy price action.

Executive Summary
Xunlei reported Q2 2026 revenue of $102.7M (+38.9% YoY), driven by strong subscription and live-streaming growth. However, the company swung to a GAAP net loss of $218.5M from a $726.4M profit a year ago, primarily due to a $213.8M fair-value loss on its Arashi Vision investment. Non-GAAP net loss was $2.1M vs. a $7.2M profit last year, and operating income flipped to a $4.8M loss from a $0.3M gain, reflecting rising costs and litigation expenses. The core business shows solid top-line momentum, but profitability deteriorated meaningfully on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, making this a mixed report with offsetting signals.
