Tencent/Netease: Game Approval Accelerates, but Not for Big Names

By Ke Yan, CFA, FRM

  • China announced game approval for the Jan batch. The number of games approved has increased compared to recent months.
  • The pace of China game approval appears to be accelerating, to the same level as pre-tightening.
  • Tencent gets one game approved but we don’t see that the acceleration of game approval benefits big names proportionally.

EQD | HSI Short-Sellers Prepare for a Rally in February

By Nico Rosti

  • The Hang Seng Index this week reversed up and close the week up, after 3 weeks down. This may not be the usual opportunity to go SHORT.
  • The index may rise for another 1 week and then pullback, but our seasonal matrix model says there is a good probability the HSI rallies in February.
  • Based on this market reading we advise HSI Short Sellers to be particularly careful when setting up SHORT trades between here and the end of February.

[RemeGen (9995 HK, BUY, TP HK$34) Rating Change]: Time to Do Some Bottom Fishing…UG to BUY

By Eric Wen

  • We believe RemeGen has bottom fishing value because its Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) drug Telitacicept (RC18) has already been approved for sale in China.
  • Earliest data read in US clinical trial for IgA Nephropathy is already available, with SLE data read available in C3Q24 and MS in C4Q24;
  • We don’t think a leading biotech from the wealthy city of Yantai will run out of cash. We assume RemeGen will be able to mitigate its liquidity problem.
