Xiaohongshu Technology is on track to triple its profit to US$3 billion (S$3.9 billion) in 2025, making progress with commercialisation on the way to a potential public listing.

BEIJING -

The social media firm recently updated investors on its latest projections for the full year, according to people briefed on the numbers. In the field of visual-based social platforms, Xiaohongshu's profit forecast is roughly 50 per cent higher than Pinterest's earnings in 2024 and well ahead of Snap, which has yet to complete a profitable year.

Built around its eponymous app that is also known as RedNote outside China, Xiaohongshu has 300 million monthly active users and a loyal following among users who treat it as their daily source of news and diversions.
