0419 GMT - NetEase's 3Q revenue is likely to fall short of high market expectations, Nomura analysts say in a research note. They expect the Chinese videogame maker's revenue from game and related-VAS services to have climbed 12% on year, below market estimates. NetEase's mobile gaming revenue likely resumed growth, rising 4% in 3Q, driven mainly by evergreen titles such as "Eggy Party" and "Where Winds Meet," the analysts note. Meanwhile, the growth in its PC gaming revenue likely slowed to 32% due to a high base last year, when "World of Warcraft" returned to China, they add. Nomura maintains a buy rating on NetEase's H shares, with the target price unchanged at HK$249.00. Shares are last at HK$219.60. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
