NetEase Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>) NetEase Games, one of China's leading gaming companies, is facing a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming"> corruption scandal. </a>
According to <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/tech-and-telecom-law/netease-says-police-detained-executives-for-alleged-bribery">reports </a>from Bloomberg Law, the company's General Manager Xiang Lang, along with esports lead Jin Yuchen and several other employees were arrested on charges of bribery and money laundering.
NetEase said in a statement to Benzinga that it recently addressed two cases of suspected misconduct. The instances involve &#8220;a small number of employees within its domestic Chinese market operations,&#8221; the company said. 
&#8220;These matters are currently under investigation by the relevant authorities and as this investigation is ongoing, we are unable to provide additional details at this time.&#8221;
The company said it is committed to a workplace based on integrity, transparency and fairness and has a zero-tolerance policy on unethical conduct. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Employee Dismissals, Investigation Details</h1>
In an internal memo, NetEase Games confirmed nine employees were dismissed due to their involvement in the alleged bribery scheme, the Bloomberg Law report said.

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower after China's September exports missed estimates. China stimulus uncertainty has also weighed on stocks recently.

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower on continued weakness amid stimulus uncertainty.

Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies, including gaming and internet giant NetEase Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>), fell 3.06% to $85.65 Monday afternoon amid a broader sell-off in Chinese stocks driven by investor dissatisfaction with China&#8217;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41312039/whats-going-on-with-us-listed-chinese-stocks-alibaba-baidu-nio-xpeng-on-monday">economic stimulus efforts</a>.
What&#8217;s Happening: NetEase, a major player in China&#8217;s online gaming, e-commerce and entertainment sectors, saw its stock take a hit Monday as investors weighed the potential impacts of China&#8217;s uncertain economic trajectory. 
The company, which relies heavily on consumer spending and internet activity in China, has been sensitive to the broader macroeconomic environment, particularly as China&#8217;s economy grapples with slowing growth and regulatory scrutiny.
While Beijing&#8217;s latest stimulus package promised subsidies for low-income households, support for the property market and replenishment of state banks' capital, the absence of clear financial commitments left investors unimpressed.

Market analysts had hoped for more aggressive measures, particularly concrete figures on government spending, to inject confidence back into the Chinese economy. 
Prior reports suggested the issuance of 2 trillion yuan ($284.4 billion) in sovereign bonds to alleviate debt and boost consumption, but the lack of confirmation on this front has further fueled uncertainty.
Why This Matters: For NetEase, which depends heavily on a robust domestic market to drive demand for its online games, cloud services, and educational platforms, such ambiguity around the size and timing of the stimulus package could impact the company's future earnings. 
Moreover, ongoing geopolitical tensions between China and the U.S., particularly restrictions on access to advanced AI technology, continue to pose significant risks to the broader tech sector, including NetEase. The ability to innovate and stay competitive in areas like cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and gaming could be further hindered by these restrictions.
Adding to investor concerns, China&#8217;s regulatory environment has grown increasingly stringent over the past year, with crackdowns on major tech companies for antitrust practices and data security issues.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is NTES A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
Wall Street analysts view NetEase on the whole as a Buy, given the history of coverage over the past three months. Jiong Shao from Barclays in NetEase is the most bearish, expecting a 21.15% fall in the stock in the coming year.
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past 3 months, NetEase fell 8.31%, which indicates that opinion soured on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 5.91% over the past year.

US Listed Chinese Stocks Give Up Gains - Li Auto, Tesla And Nio Are Among Top 11 Large Cap Losers Last Week (Oct 7-Oct 11): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

NetEase Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>) shares are trading lower by 5.28% to $89.45 Wednesday afternoon. Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower on continued weakness after Chinese planning officials reportedly fell short of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41254085/china-stock-rally-loses-steam-as-investor-optimism-subsides-not-quite-enough-to-satiate-lofty-expect">investor stimulus expectations</a>.
What To Know: As concerns mount over China's slowing economy, NetEase, which relies heavily on consumer spending on gaming and digital services, is facing increased uncertainty about its growth prospects.
NetEase, known for its popular online games like Fantasy Westward Journey and Justice, as well as its expanding music and education platforms, is deeply tied to the health of China's consumer market. 
The company's stock took a hit as investors reacted to underwhelming announcements from China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), which failed to deliver the large-scale economic stimulus many had been hoping for. 
While expectations were high for new measures to boost consumption and stimulate growth, the NDRC's announcements were limited to modest infrastructure spending and future projects, far short of the significant fiscal support that could have shored up consumer confidence.

This lack of aggressive stimulus has raised concerns about weaker consumer spending, particularly in discretionary sectors like gaming and entertainment, which are critical to NetEase's business. With China's economy facing headwinds from slowing growth and a shaky property market, there are fears that consumers may cut back on non-essential spending, including gaming, digital services, and in-app purchases. 
For a company like NetEase, which generates significant revenue from its gaming division, any slowdown in consumer spending could impact its top line.
What Else: NetEase's reliance on a robust domestic consumer base for its gaming revenue makes it particularly vulnerable to shifts in China's economic environment. 
If consumers become more cautious with spending, demand for entertainment products like video games and digital content could slow, putting pressure on NetEase's growth.
Despite the current challenges, NetEase has been investing heavily in expanding its portfolio of games and services, including international expansion through its gaming division, which has produced hit titles globally. The company has also been diversifying into new areas like cloud music services and online education, which have shown growth potential.
However, the lack of strong consumer stimulus from Beijing may weigh on these efforts in the near term, as economic uncertainty dampens consumer willingness to spend on digital entertainment.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NTES Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in NetEase&#8217;s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NTES has a 52-week high of $118.89 and a 52-week low of $75.85.
