KUAISHOU-W fell 3.08% in regular trading on October 13, trading at HK$28.34, with turnover of HK$315 million. The decline followed a period of heightened volatility as the market digested the ongoing news flow around the planned IPO of its video-generation unit Kling AI.

Kling AI's preparation for a Hong Kong listing has moved from a major catalyst to a subject of renewed scrutiny. The unit has appointed CICC, Goldman Sachs, and UBS as sponsors, targeting an IPO as early as 2027 and seeking at least US$1 billion. Strong top-line momentum — second-quarter revenue exceeded RMB 850 million, up over 200% year-on-year — had previously triggered a valuation rerating for the parent. However, as Kling AI's valuation climbed to approximately RMB 122.8 billion, surpassing KUAISHOU-W's overall market capitalization, attention has shifted to the risk of a parent-company discount and the near-term pressure of substantial computing infrastructure spending on consolidated profitability.

The market is now balancing the growth narrative against structural concerns: Kling AI's cumulative losses reportedly exceeded RMB 2 billion across 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, and investor agreements include a repurchase clause tied to an October 30, 2031 listing deadline. These factors have contributed to increased short-term positioning and a pullback in KUAISHOU-W shares.
