WUBA will report 3Q17 results on Monday, November 13, 2017 before the market opens with an 8am ET conference call. Based on our data and calculations, we believe WUBA’s 3Q17 revenue is likely to outperform consensus at $387.7M (RMB2,569.6M) and our model at $394.2M driven by the growth in total paying merchants. In China’s housing market, the data showed some slowdown in transactions, which we believe can be a negative growth factor for the company’s housing business. However, as WUBA is innovating new ways of doing business, including big data driven business and monetization as well as more rentals in the housing sector, we believe the company has the capability to weather the weakness in the housing market. We maintain our BUY rating.……

EDU will report FY1Q18 results on Tuesday, October 24th before the markets open with an 8am EST conference call.

Consensus for FY1Q18 at $642.3M and FY2Q18 at $426.0M can be conservative. Certainly, the high expansion may cause near term pressure to its margins. As we believe EDU’s fundamentals and outlook are strong, we maintain our Buy rating. ……
