Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>We expect that Kuaishou’s 4Q22 top line and bottom line would be 0.2%/3.7% vs cons, as major business lines are recovering with stimuli of CNY promotion campaigns. </li>
<li>However, we estimate that its 2023 top line/bottom line would miss cons. by (0.9%)/(14.2%) due to our concerns of increasing competition and internal restructuring.</li>
<li>Maintain SELL rating but raise TP to HK$ 56 to reflect on-track recovering trend as the macro improves. </li>
