0412 GMT - Apple's move to cut commission fees charged to game developers on its mainland China App Store is a tailwind for Tencent and NetEase, Morningstar analyst Ivan Su says in a note. She expects Apple's fee reduction, alongside Google lowering its Play Store service fees, could improve the Chinese gaming firms' margins and lift their operating profit by low single-digit percentages this year. If Android app stores, including those operated by Huawei and Xiaomi, follow suit, their operating profit could rise by mid- to high-single-digit percentages, she adds. Morningstar maintains fair value estimates of HK$800.00 for Tencent and US$200.00 for NetEase, noting that both stocks remain significantly undervalued. Tencent shares were last trading at HK$545.00, while NetEase's ADRs last closed at US$118.87. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
