On August 25, NetEase rose 3.61% overnight, trading at 126.76 USD/share, with turnover of 726,200 USD, extending the post-earnings recovery trend.
On the news front, following NetEase's Q2 earnings release, multiple major investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citi, and Daiwa collectively raised target prices and maintained buy ratings. Goldman Sachs characterized the gross margin expansion as structural, while Bank of America raised its adjusted operating profit forecast by 7% to 9%. Core operating metrics remained robust: revenue of 30.1 billion RMB exceeded expectations, gaming revenue of 25 billion RMB grew 10% YoY, operating profit surged 33% YoY, and gaming gross margin reached a record high of 76.1%. The net profit decline of 18.6% was primarily attributable to approximately 2.95 billion RMB in investment losses and the effective tax rate rising to 25.5%. Additionally, NetEase was confirmed for inclusion in the Hang Seng Stock Connect China Enterprises Index effective September 14, providing further catalyst for the recovery.
