Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Bilibili reported  C3Q23 revenue, operating profit, and GAAP net income inline, 4.37%, (21.6%) vs. consensus. The miss was primarily due to ineffective investment in game studio and related costs.</li>
<li>We are bearish on BILI’s game pipeline as ACGN is already a crowded market with well-entrenched competitors</li>
<li>We maintain our SELL rating and cut the TP from US$ 12.3 to US$ 9.04, and consider that it is unlikely for them to breakeven in 2024</li>
