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.

Undivided Launches the NYC Condo Value Index: What Brochures Don’t Tell You

Published

on

NEW YORK, NY,April 2026 — Undivided, a boutique NYC luxury residential brokerage, today announced the launch of the Undivided Value Index: a transparent, expert-weighted scoring framework designed to help discerning buyers evaluate and compare luxury condominium buildings in New York City.

United States, 6th Apr 2026 — Undivided, a boutique NYC luxury residential brokerage, today announced the launch of the Undivided Value Index: a transparent, expert-weighted scoring framework designed to help discerning buyers evaluate and compare luxury condominium buildings in New York City.

The Value Index addresses a structural gap in how NYC condo buyers make decisions. Most building evaluations rely on brand recognition, broker opinion, or marketing materials. None of these reflect the financial fundamentals, building systems quality, or long-term resale dynamics that actually determine whether a purchase holds its value over time.

“Right now, there is no structured way to compare buildings in this market,” said Mukul “Micky” Lalchandani, founder and managing broker of Undivided. “Buyers rely on pricing and broker narratives, but those don’t always reflect reality. The market is driven more by perception than measurable value. This is what the Undivided Value Index is built to solve.”

The Value Index rates each building across eight weighted categories:

  • Accessibility and location fundamentals
  • Amenity ROI and actual usefulness
  • Financial fundamentals (reserves, common charges, assessments)
  • Building systems quality and maintenance
  • Sustainability and LEED credentials
  • Appreciation drivers and neighborhood trajectory
  • Supply, absorption, and market liquidity
  • Home functionality, layout efficiency, and building policies

Scores are updated quarterly. No developer or sponsor can pay to influence a rating. The methodology draws on publicly available data combined with Undivided’s direct market experience in the buildings evaluated.

The Value Index launches with four scored buildings in Manhattan’s Flatiron and Nomad neighborhoods, with plans to expand to additional areas in subsequent quarters. Scores at launch range from 80 to 92 out of 100, reflecting the firm’s focus on prime buildings where data is most robust.

The tool is designed for buyers spending $5 million or more on a NYC condominium — a segment where purchase decisions often involve significant capital but limited access to the kind of structured building analysis that private equity or institutional buyers routinely conduct.

“Someone spending $10 million should not have to rely on a glossy brochure,” Lalchandani said. “They deserve the same analytical rigor applied to any serious investment decision.”

The Undivided Value Index is available at undividedre.com

About Undivided 

Undivided is a boutique NYC residential brokerage specializing in modern luxury condominiums and new construction. Founded by Mukul “Micky” Lalchandani, the firm serves high-net-worth buyers and sellers seeking an advisory-driven alternative to traditional transactional brokerage. Undivided operates on a selective client model, prioritizing depth of service over volume.

Artur Tyszka of the Tyszka Team Named KeyCrew Verified Expert for Northern NJ Markets

Published

on

United States, 6th Apr 2026 – KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Artur Tyszka, Co-Lead of the Tyszka Team at Keller Williams Prosperity, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Tyszka will contribute market analysis and on-the-ground insight on residential real estate trends across Northern New Jersey, with a focus on Wayne and the broader Passaic County market.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Artur Tyszka brings a practitioner’s perspective to Northern New Jersey real estate, shaped by 11 years of experience as both an agent and an active investor. As co-lead of the family-run Tyszka Team, he works alongside his mother — a licensed agent with nearly 25 years in the business — and other family members who together form one of the region’s most experienced residential teams. In 2025, the Tyszka Team closed over 180 transactions totaling more than $69 million in sales volume.

Beyond client representation, Tyszka has direct experience in house flipping, new construction, and multi-family investment across Northern New Jersey. That hands-on investor background informs how he advises clients in one of the country’s most competitive suburban markets, where well-priced homes in Wayne regularly attract 10 to 15 offers and sell well above asking price.

Tyszka and his team are based in Wayne, NJ, where their office is located at 1700 Route 23 N. His market focus spans Wayne, Pompton Lakes, and surrounding Passaic County communities — areas experiencing sustained demand driven by top-ranked schools, NYC commutability, and limited housing inventory.

“Getting your name out there as a trusted voice in your market is something every serious agent should be focused on,” said Artur Tyszka. “Northern New Jersey is one of the most active real estate markets in the country right now, and I think it’s important for buyers, sellers, and investors in this area to have access to real, ground-level insight — not just national headlines that don’t reflect what’s actually happening here. I’m glad to have a platform to share that.”

Tyszka’s areas of expertise include:

Residential Buyer & Seller Representation – Deep knowledge of Northern NJ’s competitive offer dynamics, inspection strategy, and transaction management

Wayne & Passaic County Market Trends – Hyperlocal expertise in pricing, inventory conditions, and neighborhood-level demand patterns

Real Estate Investment – Practical experience in house flipping, new construction, and multi-family acquisition across Northern New Jersey

First-Time & Move-Up Buyers – Specialized focus on helping buyers navigate aggressive bidding environments and set realistic expectations

Distressed Property Acquisition – Experience purchasing properties with deferred maintenance, blight, or other conditions that limit traditional market appeal
