NetEase Earnings: Investors Overreact to Temporary Gaming Slowdown

Ivan Su

Narrow-moat NetEase’s second-quarter results were mixed with slightly lower revenue yet higher operating income compared with our estimates. Concerns about the near-term outlook were sparked by slowing game revenue and mid-single-digit deferred income growth, as evidenced by a more than 10% decline in share price during US trading. However, we view this reaction as shortsighted, overly fixated on minor fluctuations in near-term revenue. In our view, NetEase's commitment and patience in developing next-generation games will yield substantial rewards over time. We anticipate that the upcoming release of Where Winds Meet will be a commercial success and a significant driver of growth in 2025 and beyond. Overall, we maintain NetEase’s fair value estimate at $158 (HKD 246) and consider the shares as undervalued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

NetEase’s expertise in asymmetric multiplayer (Identity V and Dead by Daylight) would allow it to capitalize on future opportunities in this genre.

Bears

Leadership changes at Activision Blizzard can further delay the launch of much anticipated Diablo Immortal.
