On September 9, NetEase declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at approximately $115.925 per share, with turnover of $29.72 million. The decline came as the stock continued to digest pressures from its Q2 earnings report amid a broad selloff in Chinese ADRs.
NetEase's previously released Q2 report showed net revenue of RMB 30.1 billion, up 7.9% year-over-year and above consensus estimates, but net income attributable to shareholders fell 18.8% to RMB 6.98 billion. The profit decline was primarily driven by approximately RMB 2.95 billion in net investment losses — a sharp reversal from RMB 330 million in net investment gains in the prior-year period — compounded by the effective tax rate rising from 14.7% to 25.5%. Despite game gross margin reaching a record high of 76.1% and operating-level profitability continuing to improve, non-operating headwinds remain a drag on the bottom line.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index fell over 1% on the session, with iQIYI down over 3%, Vipshop, Bilibili, and Li Auto each down over 2%, and JD.com, XPeng, and Alibaba declining over 1%, reflecting broad sector weakness that further pressured NetEase shares.
