Tencent May Continue to Benefit From Investments in AI -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-15

0153 GMT - Tencent continues to be one of the best-positioned Chinese tech companies regardless of macro conditions, Barclays analysts say in a research note. They attribute Tencent's better-than-expected 2Q margins to the effective use of AI to improve productivity and lowering costs, the analysts say. Barclays reckons that near-term opportunities to reap the benefits of AI will not be for consumer applications but for enterprises' internal uses. Tencent's allocation of more expenses toward investments in its AI native applications is a positive move, although it would be challenging to monetize these apps through ChatGPT-style subscription model, they add. Barclays maintains an overweight rating on Tencent with its ADR target price unchanged at $77.00. ADRs last ended 3.0% lower at $74.79. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
