Tencent Music's stock soared 7.33% in pre-market trading on Friday, buoyed by positive sentiment around Chinese tech companies' earnings and the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) breakthroughs.
The rally in Tencent Music's shares was part of a broader surge in Chinese ADRs, with companies like Alibaba, Bilibili, and Li Auto also seeing significant gains. This bullish sentiment was fueled by a combination of strong earnings reports and renewed optimism surrounding the AI capabilities of Chinese tech firms.
Investors have been closely watching the AI developments from companies like DeepSeek, which has recently made breakthroughs in generative AI models. This has sparked speculation that leading Chinese internet companies, including Tencent Music, could benefit significantly from advancements in AI technology and its integration into their products and services.
