Dena Co Ltd (2432 JP) used to be the GO-GO internet stock for both retail and institutional investors in Japan during the previous bull run before 2008 and trading at 40-50x PER. The multiples have since then collapsed to 10-20x PER although the business prospect remains solid if not better. Benefiting from the increasing regulation in China, DeNA signed an agreement with Tencent Holdings (700 HK) to distribute Arena of Valor in Japan which will boost revenue and improve margin. At 14x PER and 1.2x PBR, DeNA looks attractive.
