KC - Why Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Stock Plummeted by Nearly 8% Today
2025-05-28 18:46:43 ET
China's Kingsoft Cloud Holdings (NASDAQ: KC) was under something of a cloud with investors on Wednesday. They traded out of the niche tech company's U.S.-listed American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) after the release of its first-quarter results, leaving the securities with an almost 8% decline in price at market close. That was a far steeper drop than the S&P 500 's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 0.6%.
For the quarter, Kingsoft Cloud came in at 1.97 billion yuan ($274 million), a nearly 11% increase from the same period of 2024. Management attributed this to higher take from the business of top Chinese tech company Xiaomi and that from artificial intelligence (AI) consumers, among other factors.
