Fawne Jiang has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily focusing on NetEase’s resilience and strategic positioning in the evolving gaming industry. Despite a slight revenue miss in the second quarter of 2025, NetEase demonstrated operational discipline, resulting in a slight earnings beat. This resilience, coupled with a strong pipeline of upcoming game launches and the revival of evergreen titles, supports a positive growth outlook.
NetEase’s ability to sustain engagement and monetize mature intellectual properties, such as Fantasy Westward Journey Online, highlights its long-term potential. The company is well-prepared to navigate the industry’s shift towards fewer, higher-quality projects that require scale and expertise. Recent successes in revitalizing legacy titles through strategic updates and collaborations further bolster confidence in its strategy. With disciplined execution and a quality-focused pipeline, Jiang reiterates a Buy rating with a price target of $145.
According to TipRanks, Jiang is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 18.0% and a 58.26% success rate. Jiang covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Trip.com Group Sponsored ADR, JD, and Alibaba.
In another report released yesterday, Macquarie also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $162.00 price target.
