Tencent's Debt Metrics Likely to Stay Stable -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 13:12

0512 GMT - Tencent's debt metrics are expected to remain stable through the next 12 months, CreditSights analysts Stephanie Sim and Pius Xue say in a note. They forecast top-line growth to stay resilient, supported by healthy growth in its online advertising and gaming businesses. "We like the healthy balance sheet, robust free operating cash flow generation and strong liquidity of the company," the analysts add, noting Tencent may return to a position of more cash than debt by year's end. Still, they project a small but manageable decline in Ebitda margin on higher AI-related spending. CreditSights maintains an outperform rating and sees Tencent as a stable, long-term play in Asia and China. The company is also viewed as a good hedge against U.S. AI stocks. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
