Tencent/Netease: One Approval for Tencent in June
- China announced game approval for the June batch. The number of games approved remained at a higher level than 2023.
- The pace of China game approval appears to have accelerated to the same level as pre-tightening.
- In June, Tencent received approval for a domestic game. The company, with Netease and Kingsoft, also received approval for one imported game each.
Regencell Holdings (RGC US) And the New Ramp-And-Dump Schemes
- The absurd valuation the market has placed on Hong Kong-based biotech Regencell Holdings (NASDAQ: RGC), which claims to be devising Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) cures for ADHD, autism, and other neurocognitive disorders, has metastasized since our April 2 newsletter.
- RGC rose 12,980% (on a split-adjusted basis) from the time of our publication to the peak on June 17.
- The stock has fallen a good deal from its $78 value on June 17, but, at $22.95 as of this writing, there is still much more distance for RGC to fall.

Natco Pharma (NTCPH IN): Getting Ready for the Next Moonshot
- Natco specializes in complex generics with a catalogue of 30 Para IV filings (14 approved), demonstrating strong R&D expertise and a track record of successful high-value launches most prominently gRevlimid.
- Its current pipeline include potential blockbuster drugs like generic versions of Evrysdi, Ozempic/Wegovy (GLP-1), Kyprolis, and Imbruvica, which could drive future growth and offset concerns about declining Revlimid revenues post-FY26.
- We estimate Natco (ex-Revlimid) can generate ~2,500cr in revenues with profit of 320-350cr. Its 3,500cr cash-in-hand, Para IV optionalities and NCE investments (Gene therapy) make its current valuation attractive.
Zijin Mining (2899 HK): Fair Value Still 25% Higher Despite IPO Discount Risks
- Zijin plans to IPO its overseas gold unit, targeting 85t output in 2025; timeline not yet disclosed.
- SOTP values copper business at RMB 592 bn, gold at RMB 190–200 bn, lithium adds RMB 18–28 bn.
- Stock trades ~15–20% below intrinsic value, offering ~25–26% upside even without IPO re-rating.
PLTK US – Is Betting Big on Innovation But Is There Any Change To Win the Mobile Gaming War?
- Playtika Holding Corp reported a strong first quarter of 2025, achieving a record revenue of over $700 million, marking their highest quarterly revenue to date.
- This success reflects the robustness of their diverse portfolio of mobile games and showcases their ability to support and grow acquired franchises.
- The global launch of Disney Solitaire in April has shown promising early performance, demonstrating the potential for it to become a significant contributor to Playtika’s revenue, alongside the established success of their flagship titles.
Payment Companies – Introducing the Sector Scorecard
- We introduce our payments scorecard in this report, in which we apply weightings to our metrics of valuation, margins, EBITDA growth estimates and valuation-to-growth to deliver rankings
- We keep PagSeguro and Nexi on the buy list, both of these are in the top three in the scorecard; we add PayPal to the buys, replacing the mega-cap Visa
- We remove our sell rating on Affirm, replacing it with Kakao Pay; Kakao Pay stock has rallied hard on stablecoin speculation, but our concern is that investors under-estimate regulatory risk
