0450 GMT - Tencent Music Entertainment is likely to face headwind in the near term, according to Morningstar's Ivan Su in a research note. The company's guidance points to a deceleration in growth amid competition with ByteDance's Soda Music, Su says. While the analyst believes most paying subscribers are likely to stay on Tencent Music, the management's decision to stop disclosing user metrics on a quarterly basis "adds to fears that the worst is yet to come," the analyst says. Market sentiment on Tencent Music is likely to remain subdued in the near term, Su adds. Morningstar has a fair value estimate of HK$109.00. Shares last traded at HK$41.28. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
