NTES (09999) rose over 5% in late trading. As of press time, it was up 4.70% at HK$189.4, with a turnover of HK$1.729 billion. On the news front, on September 13, during the 2026 BlizzCon event, Blizzard Entertainment officially announced a new StarCraft title, an open-world shooter planned for release in 2030. Goldman Sachs noted that Blizzard announced its new game release plan through 2030 (including Diablo V, the new StarCraft title, and World of Warcraft: Infinite), which, given NTES's exclusive licensing partnership in China, is expected to bring additional revenue streams. The bank also said it assessed NTES's major game pipeline for 2027 and believes the pipeline will boost the company's revenue after a lackluster 2026. If executed well, the bank expects the pipeline to contribute more than 10% in incremental revenue next year. More importantly, overseas market revenue and popularity gains from Infinite are expected to change the stock's narrative and drive a valuation re-rating.
