Equity Bottom-Up

We remain positive on the long-term prospects for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/17203" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:17203:1">NetEase (NTES US)</a>, which we see as one of the dominant online game companies in China (along with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/26" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26:1">Tencent (700 HK)</a>).  However, in the short term, we are concerned that softness in mobile games is likely to extend through 3Q and into 4Q this year as hit titles mature. That is likely to continue to weigh on sentiment. Longer term we expect its position in online games to remain strong while its eCommerce efforts are also growing strongly. We have…

We believe that without the launches of a few new major mobile games, the upside in the stock of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/17203" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:17203:1">NetEase Inc (ADR) (NTES US)</a> is capped.  As of Q2, mobile is about 72% of total game revenue and 41% of group revenue.  The success of launches of new mobile games is the key to the stock.  Investors tend to be more willing to pay for a concentrated portfolio of major hits of hundreds of millions RMB in monthly GMV) than a collection of many small games each generating only a few million RMB.  With…

Netease Q3 Update: Awaiting New Blockbuster Games

We updated our price target and forecasts for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/26" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26:1">Tencent (700 HK)</a> recently ahead of the 2Q result. Our price target moved from HK$260 to HK$371. The increase was due in part to the forecast changes (around $30 of the increase) but the major driver was a reduction in the discount rate we use for our DCF valuation (to 10% from 12%). To some extent we are falling into line with the share price (now HK$327), but our view on Tencent and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/787" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:787:1">Alibaba (BABA US)</a> is evolving and we think they can justify a lower…

Tencent Continues to Surge past Expectations. Its Earnings Flexibility Makes It a Core Holding.
