GUANGZHOU, China, May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HUYA Inc. ("Huya" or the "Company") (NYSE: HUYA), a leading game-related entertainment and services provider, today provided an update on its ongoing share repurchase program.

Reflecting the Company's confidence in its long-term prospects and continued commitment to enhancing shareholder value, Huya has been actively executing the 2026 Share Repurchase Program authorized by its board of directors on March 18, 2026.
