Huya Secures Dual Recognition from Barron’s and Forbes China

The company was named to the Value Industry Benchmark 30 by Barron’s China, citing its performance in financial integrity, capital quality, and pricing power. Simultaneously, Forbes China recognized Huya in its 2025 Novel Intelligent Economy selection, specifically highlighting the firm’s application of creative AI to advance game-related services and content production.

Since initiating a strategic transformation in August 2023, Huya has moved beyond its traditional streaming roots to embrace game publishing and distribution. The firm recently launched its proprietary VAM 1.0, a multimodal digital human model capable of generating real-time, expressive virtual hosts. Financial results for the second quarter of 2026 reflect this shift, with total net revenues reaching RMB 1,739.3 million. Notably, revenue from game-related services and advertising grew by 54.1% year over year, now accounting for more than one-third of the company's total income.
