Earning Against All Odds

Chinese internet company NetEase reported earnings today. NetEase did surprisingly well, considering its industry is being attacked by the Chinese government’s new restrictions. 

The company posted an EPS of ¥6.24, a 2.21% surprise. NetEase slightly missed on revenue, reporting ¥20.5 billion (USD$3.2 billion). The company’s revenue was up 12.9% YoY. 👏

The majority of NetEase’s business comes from online game services. Gaming in China has been under attack and the country recently imposed playing time restrictions on minors. However, in the latest quarter, NetEase managed to pull ¥14.5 billion (USD$2.3 billion) in income from their gaming biz. That’s +5.1% YoY.

The remainder of the company’s revenue came from its Youdao and innovative businesses/others segment. Youdao is a search engine, which serves advertisements like Google. NetEase’s innovative business segment includes NetEase Cloud Music, among others.

JD Joins The China Party

The China trade remains a controversial one, with bulls looking to nail an epic bottom and bears looking for the collapse of the country’s stock market (and economy). However, despite all the crazy headlines about economic data, regulators banning short selling, and a whole lot more, some stocks are trying to stabilize. 📰

Today’s example is eCommerce giant JD.com, which reported an earnings and revenue beat after a long string of disappointments. While growth remains well off its pandemic-era highs, investors are happy to see that the business is at least stabilizing and being forecasted properly by management.

Walmart Bets Big On Advertising

One of the core themes we’ve been discussing for a long time is the “ad-ification” of everything. No matter where you go or what you do, you’re likely being targeted by some form of advertising. And the reason why is because it’s such a high-margin, profitable business opportunity. 🎯

As a result, it’s no surprise to see America’s largest employer and big-box retailer, Walmart, leaning heavily into that narrative during its earnings call.

Today’s example of this is Jumia Technologies, the “Amazon of Africa” that caught wildfire early in its life before the gravity of reality brought it back down to earth. 🛒

The company reported reducing its losses by over 90% in the fourth quarter as it focused on restoring order and gross merchandise value (GMV) growth. Like other struggling companies, it cut costs significantly and leveraged lower tax provisions to help drive the earnings improvement.
