Investment theme:
We have always feared that Rice would face similar risks as other Chinese online gaming companies, but there is a valuation premium. The risk of Rice's valuation has dropped sharply, but the underlying risk remains high after the recent performance of underperforming performance. Compared with other Chinese online gaming companies, there are some key differences between rice washing, such as less competition, revenue from off-line business, and low development costs. But at the same time, Rice also faces some similar risks, such as the concentration of revenue, the risk of introducing popular games, the rapid growth of development and marketing spending and competition from Tencent (0700.HK).
