S2Thesis

Tuya provides an IoT development platform to device makers (844K developers, 589M+ device activations). The story is the balance sheet: ~$1.02B cash (≈73–93% of market cap, per the Q1 2025 6-K, upgraded from $854M), giving an enterprise value near zero on a business that posted FY2025 net income of $57.9M and a Piotroski F-score of 9. The VIE was deregistered in 2025 and semi-annual dividends prove the cash is accessible. A Hong Kong dual-primary listing (2391.HK) is a genuine escape hatch if US-listed Chinese ADRs are delisted.

Bull Case

Balance SheetCash ~$1.02B ≈73–93% of market cap; EV near zero (~$76M) on $66.6M/quarter revenue — EV/Rev ~0.3–1.1×.

QualityF-score 9; FY2025 net income $57.9M; revenue +7.8% with SaaS +13.4%; 4.7% dividend yield.

StructureHK dual-primary listing (2391.HK) since 2022; VIE deregistered 2025; dividends prove cash is not trapped.

Bear Case

GrowthRevenue growth only ~8% — a cash story, not a compounder.

China ADRHFCAA / delisting tail risk persists despite the HK hedge; a prominent US official called for sanctions in 2021 (no action taken).

Security ProfileThird-party reports of devices sending data to China keep a national-security overhang on the name.

S11Research Notes

2026-06-01Internal

Best-protected Chinese ADR

The HK dual-primary listing (2391.HK) is the insurance policy: if the US delists, holders can convert to the Hong Kong line via a broker. Cash upgraded to $1,024M per the Q1 2025 6-K (was $854M).
