0344 GMT - NetEase's existing titles should support steady and resilient grossing in the coming quarters, Citi analysts say in a research note. Among its upcoming titles, there is no specific release date yet for the highly anticipated "Ananta," while "Sea of Remnants" is scheduled for release in 3Q. However, the continued strength of evergreen title "Fantasy Westward Journey" and the momentum of "Where Winds Meet" following its successful global launch in November should underpin grossing. Citi views Netease as a defensive play, citing its use of AI in game development and its diversified portfolio of established game franchises. Citi raises NetEase ADR's target price to US$165.00 from US$161.00. Shares last ended 4.1% lower at US$118.5. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
