Kingsoft (金山软件) Q4 revenue falls to ¥2.618 billion, down 6% year-on-year

Kingsoft (金山软件) reported weaker fourth-quarter revenue, it has been reported that total sales for Q4 2025 came in at ¥2.618 billion, a year-on-year decrease of about 6%, according to ifeng. The Beijing-based software group — best known internationally for its WPS Office suite and domestically for gaming and enterprise software businesses — has been navigating a tougher market backdrop after several years of rapid expansion.

Results and near-term drivers

It has been reported that the decline was driven by softness across consumer-facing segments and muted enterprise spending, with gaming revenues and peripheral services cited as pressure points. Analysts say the company faces stiffer competition from larger cloud and platform operators, while monetisation of legacy products like office suites remains challenged by shifting user habits and intensifying price competition.

Broader context

Kingsoft’s results arrive amid a wider slowdown in parts of China’s tech sector. Domestic regulatory reshaping, a cautious consumer environment and slower approval pipelines for games have weighed on software and content players. Geopolitically, U.S.-China tech tensions and export controls have increased uncertainty for cloud and infrastructure suppliers — a backdrop that indirectly affects vendors such as Kingsoft through supply chains and enterprise demand.

Going forward, investors and customers will be watching management’s guidance for 2026, any cost-control measures, and product pushes (including overseas expansion for WPS) to see whether the company’s weakness is cyclical or a sign of deeper structural challenges.
