On August 24, NTES fell 3.27% in regular trading, trading at 195.1 HKD/share, with turnover of 64.70 million HKD. The decline comes as the market continues to digest the company's Q2 earnings released on August 20, which showed revenue of 30.1 billion RMB (+7.9% YoY) and gaming revenue of 25.0 billion RMB (+10% YoY) both exceeding expectations, while net profit attributable to shareholders fell 18.6% YoY to 7.0 billion RMB.

The profit shortfall was primarily driven by approximately 2.95 billion RMB in investment losses and a rise in the effective tax rate from 14.7% to 25.5%. Additionally, the Interactive Home Entertainment sector traded broadly lower, with KINGSOFT down 2.44%, XD INC down 1.88%, and BOYAA down 3.09%, amplifying the pullback pressure on NTES despite multiple investment banks — including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and Daiwa — raising their target prices following the earnings release.
