RLX Technology NYSE: RLX reported a sharp increase in first-quarter 2026 revenue, driven by international expansion, contributions from a European investment and continued stability in mainland China, executives said on the company's earnings call.
RLX Technology is rated a 'Strong Buy' due to robust international expansion and solid fundamentals. International sales now comprise 76.5% of RLX's Q4 revenue, with rapid market share gains in Asia Pacific and strategic moves in Europe.

RLX Technology Inc. (RLX) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript
RLX Technology is rated Buy, trading at a ~43% discount to its 5-year average P/E, driven by international expansion and margin tailwinds. Strategic investments in Europe and a franchise model in East Asia are expected to drive revenue growth and improve geographic diversification. Margins should expand due to higher-margin European business and operating leverage, though China remains a near-term headwind from illegal market pressures.
I continue to rate RLX Technology as a Buy, after evaluating its product portfolio expansion and shareholder returns. I'm optimistic about the growth prospects of the firm's new nicotine pouch offering; its product is priced competitively, and there are regulatory tailwinds. RLX's potential FY26 dividend yield is estimated to be at the mid-single-digit percentage level, considering the company's financial strength and cash distribution policy.
