NetEase's Game Growth Likely to Pick Up Pace in 2H -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-13

0315 GMT - NetEase's game growth is likely to pick up pace in 2H, according to Nomura analysts in a research note. The company's earnings missed expectations in its latest quarter, while management noted it's likely to release a highly anticipated new game, SoR, in 3Q, the analysts say. A summer launch may "capitalize on the strong seasonality," they note. The analysts think the launch of SoR, along with a normalized base effect, will likely help re-accelerate its game growth to 12% on year in 2H. Nomura keeps a buy rating, but slightly lowers its target price for its ADRs to US$155.00 from US$160.00 after revaluing the company's individual business units. Its ADRs last closed at US$118.17.
