<li>We estimate JOYY’s 4Q22 top line/bottom line to miss cons. by (3%)/(12%), as TikTok’s influence in major market expands. </li>
<li>We suggest that a much slower recovery in 1Q23 does not bode well for its full year outlook. Our top line and bottom line are (2%)/(14%) lower than cons.</li>
<li>Maintain SELL and cut TP to US$25.1, implying 12.8X PE in 2023.</li>
