Jefferies analyst Timothy O'Shea said he views China having frozen mobile game approvals as a temporary problem and "mostly a non-issue" as only the monetization approval process has been frozen, not the content approval process, and he note administrators are already implementing a fast-track approval process to alleviate the problem. Activision Blizzard's (ATVI) upcoming Call of Duty mobile game was expected to launch in China this year, but O'Shea said this is a smaller game that is not in his estimates, adding that Tencent (TCEHY) gets 70% of the revenue under its deal for the game. Activision has a pipeline of new mobile games coming that he would still expect to launch in China over time and O'Shea sees the 15% pullback in the game maker's shares in the last month as a buying opportunity, he tells investors. He maintains a Buy rating and $90 price target on Activision Blizzard shares.
