What’s new: TME’s reported 3Q24 top-line results that were largely in-line with consensus and our expectations. Subscription revs could remain resilient partly driven by stable quarterly net adds and higher monthly ARPPU. Margins could see further upside in 4Q24 and into FY25 partly driven by better rev mix and continued cost controls. We maintain our PT at USD14. Analysts: Jin Yoon
When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...
What’s new: TME’s reported 2Q24 top-line results that were largely in-line with consensus and our expectations. TME is taking a proactive approach to focus on ARPU to drive subscription revs going forward. While mid-term paying subscriber target remains intact, the pace of net adds could be slower than our initial expectations. We lower our PT from USD17 to USD14 on lowered outlook. Our revised PT of USD14 implies a 18.2x FY25 P/E. We maintain our BUY rating. Analysts: Jin Yoon

Although the Japanese economy, politics and stock market seem to be where they were this time last year, there is a seismic shift going on in the way the Japanese stock market behaves that could make investing in Japan in 2022 quite different to previous years. We look at how and why this shift has taken place and what it means for investing in Japan in the coming year.

The policy prohibits the lucky-draw function in live broadcastings. However, comparing with TME’s business initiatives in January 2020, we believe more positives are likely to happen throughout 2020. In January, TME’s initiated intensive cooperation and partnership activities with leading traffic vendors including TikTo...
