Glory Star expected to further increase profitability

Published

on

Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.

The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.

During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.

Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.

During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.

The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.

At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.

Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.

The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.

During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.

The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.

Blockchain and AI technologies

Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).

During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.

The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.

The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.

The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.

Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.

Non-fungible token

Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.

The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

Wall Street Focus: How the Collective Capital Alliance Accelerates OT MANAGEMENT’s Institutional Expansion

Published

on

In an exclusive interview with Finance Today, Daniel John Impens, Strategic Partner at OT MANAGEMENT, LLC, outlined how the firm’s Collective Capital Alliance (CCA) initiative has pushed institutional growth and profitability to new highs. By relying on systematic intraday trading, disciplined collective execution, and a large-scale trader development pipeline, OT MANAGEMENT has surpassed traditional asset managers in efficiency, resilience, and capital turnover.

United States, 6th Dec 2025 – As market conditions shift and investment firms reassess structural models, OT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm in the United States, continues refining its approach to intraday discipline, risk-managed execution and participant development. In a recent interview, Strategic Partner Daniel John Impens described how the Collective Capital Alliance (CCA) initiative has become a key part of the firm’s long-term institutional framework.

Impens explained that the initiative focuses on creating a systematic environment that minimizes overnight exposure and reduces sensitivity to macro volatility. “We emphasize shorter, measurable time windows that allow uncertainty to be managed more effectively,” he said. According to him, this discipline-oriented design aims to strengthen operational consistency across different market phases. Impens explained that the early development of CCA stemmed from a structural requirement to align analytical tools, market-monitoring processes and participant behavior under a unified operational model. This alignment, he said, was essential to reducing fragmentation and improving institutional consistency.

Impens added that the CCA framework incorporates layered discipline mechanisms. The first centers on structural confirmation, helping avoid premature decisions when key validation indicators are incomplete. The second involves methodical oversight processes designed to limit impulsive or emotionally driven behavior. “The intention is to build consistent analytical habits,” he said. “Technical alignment ensures that decisions follow a shared framework rather than fragmented interpretation.”

As part of the interview, Impens referenced an internal historical illustration (below) used in the firm’s educational materials—a comparison chart showing the firm’s past NAV movement alongside the long-term average return of the S&P 500 to support discussions on research methodology. The graphic, included as an analytical reference, The graphic, included as an analytical reference, depicts a period in which internal NAV rose at a significantly faster rate than the S&P 500’s historical average of approximately 16%. Impens stressed that the chart is for descriptive discussion only and not intended as a performance forecast or investment indication.

The conversation also highlighted a second visual used in OT MANAGEMENT’s internal research: a Federal Reserve policy flowchart—a conceptual framework used to help participants understand how various economic indicators (e.g. inflation trends, job-market data, and mixed economic signals) relate to FOMC’s rate-cut or wait-and-see decisions. 

Impens noted that such frameworks help participants understand macro conditions without relying on speculative interpretation. “We encourage structured thinking—tools that help users interpret data in a consistent, disciplined way.” He also explained that CCA’s developmental ecosystem—combining structured training, psychological reinforcement and tool-based education—helps maintain alignment across a growing participant network.

Impens emphasized that CCA extends beyond strategy. It incorporates training, psychological reinforcement, and methodical pre-trade assessment. “Consistency at scale requires alignment,” he said. “Our role is to build a system that supports that alignment through education and structured processes.”

He added that synchronization is becoming increasingly important as markets evolve. “Traditional asset management often operates in separated channels,” Impens said. “What we are building is a coordinated approach that allows risk management, analysis, and execution to function more cohesively.”

Regarding the macro backdrop, Impens commented that firms capable of adapting to shifts in rate cycles and liquidity may be better positioned for structural opportunities. “Preparedness is more important than prediction,” he said. “CCA is about creating that readiness.”

He concluded by noting that the initiative is an ongoing developmental platform rather than a short-term directional project. “Institutional progression takes time. Our focus is sustainable structure, disciplined methodology, and coordinated engagement.”
