JOYY operates through two main segments: BIGO (containing Bigo Live, Likee, and imo) and All Other (containing Hago and Shopline). The company is undergoing a strategic transition from legacy live-streaming monetization toward higher-margin advertising and non-streaming services, implementing capital returns through dividends and share buybacks to enhance shareholder value.
