Perfect World (002624.SZ): Driven by Film & drama and Gaming with strong adaption capacities August 1, 2018 260

Investment Summary

Perfect World engaged in Film and TV series creation as well as Gaming development in China, together with strong game development and film production capabilities. Besides, it is one of the few who has gaming and film & drama business in the market. Those two businesses could create a robust synergy, so Perfect can maintain rapid growth in the future. We project the net profit growth to be 19%/32% in 2018/19F. Assuming a target P/E of 23x in 2018, we initiate a “Accumulate” rating and give a target price of $31.19 with a potential upside of 11.0%. (Closing price at 30 July 2018)
