Tencent's Games Sector Likely Sustained Momentum in 3Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2024-10-09

0934 GMT - Tencent's 3Q games revenue growth likely remained robust while growth for its ads and fintech sectors may have moderated amid a weak Chinese macroeconomic climate, Morgan Stanley analysts say in a research note. Games revenue may have risen 12.5% on year in 3Q, with gross receipts growing around 20%, supported by sustained momentum for "Dungeon and Fighter Mobile" and solid performance of other evergreen titles, they say. While weak consumption continued to weigh on payments, MS expects Tencent to benefit from the recent integration of WeChat Pay into Alibaba's e-commerce ecosystem. Tencent could also benefit if China's consumption recovers after the recent policy pivot, they say. MS maintains a buy call on Tencent and raises its target price to HK$570.00 from HK$480.00. Shares closed at HK$434.20. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
