Our revised PT of USD15 implies 8.1x FY24E P/E. We maintain our BUY rating. Analysts: Jin Yoon

WB will report 4Q23 results on March 14th before the markets open with a 7am ET conference call. We are neutral on WB’s 4Q23 revenue performance, but the margin is likely to be better as spending is not aggressive. China's economy in 2023 showed unexpected slow growth, which is likely to be reflected in WB’s 4Q23 earnings. However, it also provides a low comparison base for 2024. WB is likely to benefit from such a situation. China's economy has its resilience, and it is on its way to gradual r...

WB will report 1Q22 results on June 1st before the US markets open with a 7am ET conference call.
