Dow Jones10:50

0250 GMT - Tencent management seems confident that stronger artificial-intelligence models and applications will pave the way for monetization across businesses, Citi analysts say in a research note. Tencent has further accelerated ramping up its compute infrastructure to support the anticipated release of the Hy4 model later this year and Weixin AI agent. Management sees the investment in compute procurement as a front-loaded-lump-sum commitment over this year and next year, rather than an annually escalating structural cost, they note. Meanwhile, management notes the capital location is dynamic and responsive to observed returns of its AI initiatives, they add. Citi raises Tencent's target price to 765.00 Hong Kong dollars from HK$758.00, citing clear signs of fruition of its AI initiatives and resilient core businesses. Shares are last at HK$446.40.
