On August 24, NetEase fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $125.25/share with turnover of $7.3991 million, as the post-earnings rebound from earlier in the week failed to sustain momentum.

The decline reflects continued digestion of NetEase's Q2 earnings released on August 20. While net revenue of 30.1 billion yuan (up 7.9% YoY) and gaming revenue of 25 billion yuan (up 10% YoY) both exceeded expectations, net profit attributable to shareholders fell 18.6% to 7 billion yuan. The shortfall was driven by approximately 2.95 billion yuan in net investment losses — versus a 330 million yuan gain in the prior-year period — and an effective tax rate surge from 14.7% to 25.5%. Adjusted EPS of 12.02 yuan per ADS came in far below the consensus estimate of 15.59 yuan.

Additionally, the broader Interactive Home Entertainment sector weakened on the session, with TRUGOLF down 6.94%, Playtika down 1.27%, and Meridian Holdings down 0.64%, amplifying downward pressure through sector correlation.
