FriendTimes Inc. — Cyborg Score 4/10

Mixed
Mobile Gaming Development & Publishing

Strategic Profile

FriendTimes has established strong localization and distribution capabilities across multiple territories since expanding overseas in 2011. The company has earned recognition as a National Key Cultural Export Enterprise for four consecutive years since 2019, positioning it as a culturally significant player in China's gaming sector.

Cyborg Score Rationale

FriendTimes demonstrates solid market presence and cultural recognition, but faces profitability challenges with a score of 42/100. Strong solvency (74/100) and positive recent net income growth (71.75% YoY) are offset by declining stock performance and challenges in the competitive mobile gaming space.
