Company Report

CMGE Earnings: Cutting Fair Value by 14% as Quality Takes Over Marketing in Gaming Market

CMGE’s 2023 results were materially below our expectations, and we are cutting our fair value estimate by 14% to HKD 2.40 per share. The latest reduction in valuation reflects our more pessimistic view of revenue from the company’s upcoming game pipeline. While we still view CMGE’s shares as undervalued, there remains a lack of visibility around CMGE’s long-term launch pipeline. Therefore, our preferred picks in the Chinese video game space remain NetEase and Tencent.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

CMGE was one of the first game companies to announce a metaverse project based on its legacy Sword and Fairy franchise.

Bears

The lack of a strong game development track record remains an overhang on the durability of CMGE’s current business model.
