The absence of "Pokemon Go" in China is not deterring analysts from speculating on which local companies stand to benefit from the hit mobile game and the augmented-reality experience it has helped make popular.

The base case for Chinese investors is perhaps Hong Kong-listed Lenovo. On July 18, the computer maker's shares rose the most in more than three months on what analysts said was improving sentiment from "Pokemon Go." Lenovo even plans to release a similar game, Jiemian reported the next day.
