Put NTES beside peers and holdings, graph the same metric, and keep your notes with the evidence.
Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Communication Services is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar broken — EPS about $65 in 2026: FY26 EPS $62.0 vs $65.0 target.
View ThesisModerate volatility — typically moves about 2% a day.
View RiskNetEase's growth in game revenue must continue to justify its price. The company showed strong revenue growth and high margins in its latest results. It trades at a low forward P/E of 13, while peers are higher. The price is roughly in line with the growth we forecast. A significant risk is the 40% chance of missing next quarter's earnings. The thesis has broken due to EPS expectations falling short of targets. Peer multiples imply a price about 25% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
