EDU will report FY2Q21 results on January 22nd before the market opens with an 8am EST conference call. We are positive on EDU’s FY2Q21 performance. While competition in the online education market is heating up, EDU is finding its own way to remain competitive by expanding its regional OMO (online merger offline) reach, instead of burning cash to buy temporary enrollments.

NTES will report 2Q20 results on August 13th before the markets open with a call at 7:30am EST. We are positive on NTES’s fundamentals as the company continues to focus on game developments. On a short terms basis, since the game business was very strong in 1Q20 with 14.1% Y/Y growth, higher than prior quarters, we believe 2Q20 is likely to be lower than 1Q as most of the students studied at home so they have less leisure time. However, the company released the list of its 2020 game pipeline on ……

We believe such impacts have not been fully baked in yet and this part of r……

We are positive into TAL’s FY3Q19 on both revenue and margin.
