(SeaPRwire) – By: Logan Pierce
Webuy Global’s WBUY stock closed down 5.08% to $0.7486 this week. Pre-market trading showed another 13.17% drop to $0.65. This happened even as its WeTrip unit posted 9x year-over-year transaction growth in Q2. The company also signed a MeetPanda MOU for China inbound travel. But investors aren’t buying the hype. The gap between growth and stock performance says more than the press release.
WeTrip’s Q2 transaction value hit $907k, nine times last year’s figure. June was stronger: $419k, a tenfold jump from 2025. These numbers signal momentum, but the market isn’t reacting. Maybe it’s the size—$907k is small for a public company. Or investors want profitability, not just volume growth.
The MeetPanda MOU adds local travel experiences across 10 Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi’an, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xiamen, Huangshan. Services include cultural tours, corporate visits, and customized trips. MeetPanda has over RMB1 billion in cumulative GMV and 400k+ group trips. But the MOU isn’t binding—no guaranteed revenue.
In travel tech, non-binding agreements raise red flags. Investors want concrete deals that translate to revenue. Webuy’s AI strategy uses agents to analyze demand and create products. It’s a long-term play, but short-term investors care about immediate results. The stock drop reflects this impatience.
China’s inbound travel market is recovering, but competition is fierce. WeTrip’s international reach plus MeetPanda’s local network could work. But until the MOU turns into bookings and revenue, investors stay skeptical. The small transaction values don’t help—$907k in Q2 is a drop in the bucket.
Until Webuy converts its non-binding MeetPanda partnership into tangible, revenue-generating contracts, its stock will ignore WeTrip’s impressive but small-scale growth metrics.
