Hong Hao's Tencent Take — Is the Dip in Quality Stocks a Buying Opportunity or a Value Trap?

[Key Takeaway] Top macro strategist Hong Hao on Tencent and China tech majors: Not bearish, even slightly bullish. But this isn't a blind "buy the dip" call. His more nuanced view: the current selloff isn't the "end of a mispricing" — it's a necessary phase in a valuation logic transition. 1. Stock Price Pressure ≠ Fundamental Deterioration Hong Hao makes it clear: "The stock price pressure is unrelated to company fundamentals." What does this mean? Tencent's earnings power and business model haven't been disproven. The market isn't worried about WeChat's monetization or the gaming license pipeline. The selloff is driven by sentiment, narrative shifts, and capital flows — indiscriminate selling as global allocators rebalance portfolios and market themes rotate. 2. "Buy Good Companies When
