Tencent Remains Resilient Proxy for China AI -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Yesterday

0853 GMT - Tencent remains a resilient China AI proxy and one of DBS's long-term top picks. Tencent's core businesses--domestic games and social networks--have a more stable competitive landscape than peers, which face margin pressure from more contested core segments, DBS analyst Andy Yu says in a note. Meanwhile, AI has already lifted Tencent's earnings in games and advertising in recent quarters. Its recent AI model progress and a visible talent acquisition push also suggest Tencent is closing gaps in foundational model capabilities, he says. "Tencent remains best positioned for consumer agentic AI in China given its Weixin ecosystem plus its track record in scaling consumer-facing products," he adds. Shares closed at HK$603.00.
