What happened in China this week:
1. Futu posted 25% revenue growth in Q1 2026, but profits tanked 61.2%. The culprit was a one-off fine for illegal cross-border trading, not the business itself, which is still firing on all cylinders.
2. PDD grew revenue 11% while profit fell 15%, and the stock slid 9%. Its cash pile now sits at half its entire market cap.
3. Kuaishou's core video business is growing at a snail's pace, but it's still profitable enough to bankroll its Kling AI ambitions. Kling's revenue quadrupled year-on-year.
4. MiniMax 5x'd its client base and now wants to 6x its recurring revenue to US$1 billion by the end of 2026.
5. China's #1 electronic brake maker and #1 fruit snack maker are both knocking on Hong Kong's door for an IPO.
