＜Research＞CICC Cuts NTES-S (09999.HK) TP to HK$206, Predicts 1Q24 Non-GAAP NP to Lift 9%

　　CICC forecasted in a report that NTES-S (09999.HK) +1.000 (+0.662%) Short selling $239.02M; Ratio 19.296% would report a 6% YoY growth in 1Q24 revenue to RMB26.4 billion, compared to the consensus prediction of RMB26.8 billion. Specifically, the broker expects the group's mobile games revenue to rise 11% YoY to RMB15 billion, compared with the market forecast of RMB15.5 billion, while non-GAAP net profit is expected to elevate 9% to RMB8.2 billion.

　　CICC noted that the release date of NetEase's handheld game “Where Winds Meet” has not yet been scheduled, and it is relatively cautious about the revenue of the group's existing games. The broker therefore lowered its non-GAAP net profit forecasts on the group by 2% in 2024 and 2025, which are now expected to reach RMB33.4 billion and RMB37.2 billion respectively.
