NetEase Stock Price Surged in Light of Robust Gaming Business

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7, 2016 /CNW/ -- On Thursday, June 30, 2016, NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES) stock surged 6.47%, or $11.74, to reach $193.22 with a market capitalization of $25.43 billion.      

Since the beginning of 2016, several global brokerages issued research notes that maintained the BUY rating of NetEase, while raising estimated price target. Despite volatile macro environment, NetEase remains one of the best performing stocks traded in the U.S., up 46% year to date.

A robust games business is being attributed as a key driver behind the recent increase in the NetEase stock price.

At its recent VIP Conference during the E3, NetEase Games highlighted the company's commitment to continue making high quality mobile and PC games, with localized operations at its core. Also shared at the VIP Conference were previews of additional new mobile games including Great Voyage, an upcoming massively multiplayer online game set in the great age of maritime discovery, and Spark of Space, a sci-fi title that integrates simulation and real-time strategy elements, with graphics that push the limits of mobile devices.
