Description: RLX RLX Technology January 12, 2026

RLX Technology Inc. (NYSE:RLX) designs, manufactures, and distributes e-vapor (electronic cigarette) products primarily in the People’s Republic of China, with additional sales through offline distributors to international markets. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Shenzhen, the firm operates as a common-stock listed company and is classified under the GICS sub-industry “Packaged Foods & Meats,” although its core business is in the vaping sector.

Recent filings (as of FY 2023) show RLX generated roughly $120 million in revenue, up about 15 % year-over-year, driven by expanding retail presence and a modest recovery in Chinese consumer spending on premium nicotine alternatives. The company’s gross margin hovered near 45 %, but net earnings remain negative due to high R&D and marketing spend. Key sector drivers include a projected 14 % CAGR for the global e-vapor market through 2028 and tightening Chinese regulations that favor domestically produced devices over imports, which could benefit RLX if it secures compliance approvals.

For a deeper quantitative dive, the ValueRay platform offers granular financial metrics and peer comparisons that can help you assess RLX’s valuation relative to its growth prospects.
