Cheetah Mobile Inc. was a mobile internet company developing and publishing mobile applications and games globally. The company operated mobile utility applications including security and cleaning apps, as well as mobile games and advertising platforms serving international markets particularly in emerging countries. Cheetah Mobile faced significant challenges from changes to advertising policies on platforms including Google Play and Facebook, declining user engagement, regulatory issues in China, and evolving mobile ecosystem dynamics. Founded in 2010 and formerly part of Kingsoft, the company went public in 2014 but subsequently experienced dramatic revenue declines and profitability challenges. Cheetah Mobile undertook strategic restructuring, divested businesses, and pursued privatization attempts amid operational difficulties. The company represents a cautionary tale of mobile internet business model disruptions and platform dependency risks. Investors should note the company has experienced severe business deterioration, delisting risks, and uncertain future viability. The stock has minimal trading value and represents highly speculative and distressed investment with substantial risks of total capital loss.
