Top 5 China Stocks To Own For 2014

NetEase (NTES), one of China's leading Internet and online game services providers, had a bad start to fiscal 2014. NetEase��results were upsetting. The Chinese gaming company posted weak results, disappointing expectations. However, management is citing this as seasonal weakness. The CEO, on the other hand, is expecting growth in the business. Let us find out what NetEase has in store for investors.

NetEase failed to impress investors with its results. The company�� quarterly revenue declined to $380.5 million from $392 million. However, management thinks that the weakness was due to weaker World of Warcraft contribution in the quarter. Taking this as a seasonal weakness, NetEase is feeling confident and sees better financials in the second quarter. But, the EPS downtrend in the past might hurt NetEase, and the company might even lose market share in the future.

Can it bounce back?

NetEase has been impressive in the past as the company has always performed well, posting solid results. Even 2013 was a solid financial year for NetEase. NetEase is working efficiently, and moreover, its games are gaining traction. The company is continually coming up with strong games in the in-house games segment, with its most famous game, Fantasy Westward Journey 2, gaining good traction.
