Base and Bull scenarios

Bull20%

Price target

$218.83

+91.1% from spot

A Bull case assumes NetEase successfully diversifies its revenue away from China with global hits, leading to a valuation re-rating toward international peer multiples (18x+).

Successful international IP launches drive 10%+ revenue growth
Terminal P/E multiple expands to 18x global peer levels
Domestic regulatory environment remains benign

Base60%

Price target

$177.78

+55.3% from spot

The Base case reflects continued domestic dominance and modest international progress, valued using a 15-year moat-fade model and conservative terminal growth.

Stable domestic RPG performance with 3-4% long-term growth
Continued 30% operating margins
Consistent capital returns via buybacks

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted base cell is anchored to composite fair-value midpoint ($177.78). It is the reference value for this grid, not a separate standalone fair-value claim.
