Thesis
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×.

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.

Research Notes
2026-09-02Recomputed from the balance sheet at 31 March 2026 and the FY2025 Form 20-F
The enterprise value implied more net cash than the company has assets
This page published an enterprise value of $76M against a market capitalisation of $1,300M, which implies net cash of $1,224M. Total assets at 31 March 2026 are $1,162.5M. A company cannot hold more net cash than it holds assets, so the figure was impossible on its face and needed no filing to refute. The balance sheet shows $912.4M of cash and $38.7M of short term investments, and a reported total debt of $10.1M that is entirely operating lease liability, so borrowings are zero. That is $951.1M of net cash on the liquid basis this site uses, an enterprise value of $348.9M, and an EBITDA multiple of 22.9 rather than 5.0. Netting the further $78.8M of longer term investments would give $270.1M and 17.8 times; the higher figure is published because netting investments that are not cash is the error that once put Pagaya at the top of a shortlist. The operating margin is also corrected, from 6.0% to the 3.6% the FY2025 filing reports. What the corrected numbers say about this company is worth stating plainly. Operating income was $11.5M on revenue of $321.8M while pre-tax income was $59.8M, so 81% of the profit came from interest and investment income on the cash pile rather than from the business. That income is real and has repeated for four years, but a reader looking at a 20.7 times earnings multiple is mostly looking at a money market position.
