0229 GMT - Tencent Holdings' earnings are likely to continue to recover this year, say Citi analysts in a note. They expect delays in China's game licensing process to ease, which could result in more launches this year. As Tencent already has 49% of its existing mobile game pipeline already approved, this indicates a strong 2023 outlook, the U.S. investment bank adds. Further, Citi thinks that the growth of Tencent's online advertising, cloud and financial technology business segments could pick up in 2023. Citi raises its target price to HK$496.00 from HK$392.26 and maintains its buy rating. Tencent's shares are down 3.2% to HK$401.60. (yiwei.wong@wsj.com)
