NETEASE INC-ADR

NetEase

Founded in the late 1990s as an internet portal, NetEase has transformed into a leading force in the second-largest online game company gaming in China. While its initial success was built upon the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Fantasy Westward Journey, NetEase has expanded its portfolio with captivating franchises that resonate with both domestic and international players. Over the past decade, the company has created titles such as Justice, Identity V, Naraka: Bladepoint, and Eggy Party, all of which maintain significant player bases today. Beyond in-house development, the company also collaborates with likes of Microsoft and Marvel to create and publish games based on renowned IPs, including World of Warcraft, Diablo Immortal, and Marvel Rivals.

NetEase Inc

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) shares opened at a record $675 on Tuesday in New York, lifted by a bullish industry forecast from Goldman Sachs that sees the global music market nearly doubling in size <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">over the next decade. </a>
In its annual Music in the Air report, published Tuesday and led by analyst Lisa Yang, Goldman revised its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) forecast for the music industry to 6.8% for 2025-2030, down from 7.5% previously. The report also introduced a 2031-2035 forecast of 4.8% CAGR. 
Still, that implies the global music market will expand from $105 billion in 2024 to nearly $197 billion in 2035.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emerging Markets Will Drive Next Leg Of Music Streaming Growth</h3>
Goldman forecasts global paid subscribers will climb from 752 million in 2024 to 1.51 billion by 2035, with 75% of that growth coming from emerging markets—up from 57% today.
Spotify, which captured a 35% share of the global paid music streaming market in 2024 with 263 million subscribers, remains the dominant player along with Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) YouTube and Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>), particularly due to their bundling strategies and localized offerings in growth markets.
Goldman said Spotify gained 30 basis points in market share last year, following a 70 basis point increase in 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monetizing The Fan Experience: Super-Premium Tiers And Concerts</h3>
Goldman highlighted new monetization strategies including price increases, superfan-targeted products, and the growing integration of live events and digital platforms. 
One key innovation: concert ticketing through streaming platforms.
&#8220;As Generation Y and Z fans engage more with their favorite artists, we also see opportunity for live music ticketing to benefit from increased integration with streaming services,&#8221; the report said.
Spotify's upcoming Super Premium tier is expected to include exclusive concert ticket pre-sale access, mimicking models like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>)&#8217;s pre-sale partnership with Beyoncé.
Goldman said these deals could generate over $100 million globally at scale, as streaming platforms leverage listener data to offer high-value fan access while ticketing companies gain new monetization pathways.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Product Innovation And Pricing Power Are Key</h3>
Spotify has recently implemented strategic price hikes to support its evolving product model.
In May and July 2024, the company raised prices across several major markets, including the U.S., UK, and Australia. Yet, the increases primarily reflected added audiobook content rather than improved music margins.
Looking ahead, the Financial Times reported in April 2025 that Spotify will raise music-only plan prices by €1 across Europe and Latin America in early June. This would mark nearly two years since its last hike targeting the core music plan.
Goldman said that execution, scale and pricing power will determine future winners in a slower-growth music landscape. 
Among digital streaming platforms, Goldman reiterated Buy ratings on Spotify Technology S.A., Alphabet Inc., Tencent Music Entertainment Group, NetEase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>), Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), SM Entertainment Co. Ltd. and JYP Entertainment Corp.

Earnings Scheduled For May 15, 2025

Wall Street opened Tuesday with cautious gains after inflation data for April came in cooler than expected, calming investor concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45374267/inflation-eases-in-april-as-trumps-tariffs-dont-push-prices-higher">tariff-driven price spikes. </a>
April's inflation report showed consumer prices rising 2.3% year over year, slightly below the 2.4% forecast and down from the previous month's reading of 2.4%. On a monthly basis, prices increased 0.2%, rebounding from March's 0.1% decline but missing expectations of a 0.3% gain.
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, held steady at 2.8% annually—matching both March&#8217;s figure and economists' forecasts. Month over month, core prices rose 0.2%, a modest acceleration from March's 0.1% increase but still softer than the expected 0.3%.
Shelter remained a major contributor to inflation, rising 0.3% in April and accounting for over half of the monthly increase in the overall Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, several categories posted price declines, including airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication services and apparel.
Despite inflation coming in below forecasts, expectations for interest rate cuts held steady. Traders still see just an 8% chance of a cut in June, rising to 38% for July. Markets continue to price in a total of 60 basis points in rate reductions by year-end, well below the almost 75 basis points priced a week ago.
The Nasdaq 100 led major benchmarks, rising 0.37% and on track to open at its highest level in 10 weeks.

Shares of companies within the broader communication services sector are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods.

Shares of Chinese internet and gaming giant NetEase Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>) rose 3.2% to $106.80 Monday morning, following news that the U.S. and China had agreed to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45341884/apple-amazon-nvidia-rise-in-monday-premarket-as-us-china-agree-to-90-day-tariff-truce-neither-side-wants-a-decoupling">temporary easing</a> of tariffs.
What To Know: The 90-day agreement, reached after high-level trade talks in Switzerland, will see most reciprocal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs</a> reduced, from punitive rates of up to 125% down to 10%, boosting sentiment around Chinese technology exporters.
NetEase, which generates a significant portion of its revenue from online gaming, cloud services and e-commerce platforms, has been especially vulnerable to tensions affecting data flows, intellectual property scrutiny and cross-border licensing. 
The rollback of non-tariff measures, including restrictions on key U.S. software exports and payment processing sanctions, directly benefits NetEase's global gaming distribution and overseas app monetization.
Additionally, the agreement could potentially accelerate regulatory approvals for its international titles and bolster confidence in its U.S.-based partnerships, such as those in mobile gaming and AI development.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NTES Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for NetEase &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of NetEase, which is trading at $106.80 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.94 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NTES has a 52-week high of $110.66 and a 52-week low of $75.85.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Tech And Telcom Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Analysts from Goldman Sachs have warned that the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
What Happened: The bank stated that persistently high U.S.-China tariffs and a significant drop in Chinese exports could put pressure on labor markets. The jobs under threat are primarily involved in the production of exports to the U.S., with nearly a quarter in the wholesale and retail sectors, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3308140/us-tariffs-could-endanger-16-million-export-jobs-china-goldman-sachs">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
"If high US-China tariffs were to persist and Chinese exports were to fall precipitously, labor markets would surely feel the pressure," stated the report
This year, the U.S. has levied tariffs of 145% on Chinese imports, pushing the effective tariff rate to around 156%. In retaliation, Beijing has imposed a 125% tariff on all U.S. goods, in addition to previous duties.
Goldman Sachs highlighted that communication equipment, apparel, and chemical products are more susceptible due to their significant share in US-bound exports from China. The bank also proposed that Chinese manufacturers could relocate production to third countries to circumvent high duties.
The report also noted that the U.S. removal of tariff exemptions for low-value package shipments is putting &#8217;employment pressure&#8217; on China's retail and wholesale sectors.

As per the bank, the tariffs could reduce Chinese real GDP by 2.6 percentage points — with a 2.2 percentage point impact hitting as soon as 2025.
The bank also predicted that the possibility of a U.S.-China decoupling could lead to a massive<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44787496/goldman-sachs-warns-25-trillion-sell-off-in-the-extreme-event-of-us-china-decoupling-as-scott-bessent-says-everything-is-on-the-table"> $2.5 trillion </a>sell-off. In an extreme scenario, investors from both countries might be forced to divest their holdings of equities and debt instruments. 
Meanwhile, S&amp;P Global Ratings on Friday stated that Trump's tariff increases are expected to primarily affect China's coastal provinces, including Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Zhejiang, along with Shanghai, a key port and financial hub.
That being said, a possible easing of trade tensions,&nbsp;China last week,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts"> reportedly began </a>exempting&nbsp;some U.S. imports from high tariffs, including pharmaceutical imports and aerospace parts. Companies in China have been approached by officials to identify essential U.S. goods that are difficult to replace. Furthermore, the 24-member Politburo, led by President Xi Jinping, committed to stabilizing China's economy and employment, and called for support measures for those impacted by tariffs following a meeting last week.
The ADR of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) climbed 0.8% to close at $120.28 on Friday, while that of PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) rose 0.72% to close at $104.01.

16 Million Jobs At Risk In China As US Tariffs Hammer Manufacturing And Retail Sectors, Goldman Sachs Warns

The possibility of a U.S.-China decoupling could lead to a massive $2.5 trillion sell-off, according to a recent analysis by Goldman Sachs. 
What Happened: The report suggests that in an extreme scenario, investors from both countries might be forced to divest their holdings of equities and debt instruments. If a decoupling takes place, U.S. investors may be forced to offload nearly $800 billion worth of Chinese stocks listed on American exchanges. On the flip side, China could divest its holdings of U.S. Treasuries and equities, which currently total around $1.3 trillion and $370 billion, respectively, as per a report by the <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3306443/us-china-decoupling-could-cost-us25-trillion-extreme-goldman-warns">South China Morning Post</a>. 
Amid the risk of U.S.-China decoupling due to the trade war, the possibility of delisting Chinese companies from US stock exchanges is now being explored. This potential move could affect nearly 300 firms, including some of China&#8217;s biggest tech giants, stated Goldman Sachs. 
The sell-off was driven by the assumption that U.S. investors would face restrictions from US regulations on such investments, as per Goldman.
The investment banking firm anticipates a fresh wave of U.S.-listed Chinese companies to relist in Hong Kong. "We believe potential Hong Kong listing for these companies could probably catalyse a re-rating given the flexibility for U.S. investors to convert their ADRs to Hong Kong shares" event of a sudden liquidity crisis, says Goldman Sachs.
James Wang, head of China strategy at UBS Investment Bank Research, noted that the delisting of Chinese companies from the U.S. could have far-reaching consequences, such as diminished access to the deeper U.S. capital markets, potentially lower valuation multiples due to a shrinking investor base, and reduced liquidity.
Why It Matters: The potential decoupling and subsequent delisting of Chinese companies from U.S. exchanges is a growing concern, especially after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the delisting of U.S.-listed Chinese companies was once again being considered. During an interview with Fox Business, Bessent stated, "Everything is on the table," when asked about possible actions against Chinese companies. 
According to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, as of March 7, a total of 286 mainland Chinese companies were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, and Nasdaq, with a combined market capitalization of $1.1 trillion.
