As Perfect World has seen a decline in its Chinese user base, it has focused on its international game operations in the last couple of years. Perfect World’s international game operations outside China in markets such as North America, Europe, Japan & Brazil account for nearly 20% of Perfect World’s $23 Trefis price estimate, which stands nearly 90% above its current market price. We expect its revenue from international gaming operations to increase steadily in the coming years as Perfect World continues to launch new games in global markets.

Perfect World is one of the top gaming companies in China and operates localized versions of some popular games in the United States, Europe and Japan. It competes primarily with Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) in the online gaming space in the U.S.
