Bilibili plunges 16% at open after reporting second-quarter loss
Hong Kong-listed shares of Chinese video and gaming company Bilibili plunged more than 16% at the open after reporting a miss on its second-quarter earnings overnight.
The company reported a net loss of more than $300 million — almost double the amount of loss reported for the same period a year ago.
Citi Research's vice president of China internet and media Brian Gong, however, was optimistic and said regulatory concerns over the country's gaming industry are easing.
Pointing to the government's resuming of gaming licenses, Gong said "although their number is less than expected, it shows the environment is improving," he said on CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia," adding that "the worst is behind us."
