Tencent Music's 4Q24 shows strong growth in online music services but continued weakness in social entertainment, leading to a cautious stock outlook. Music subscription revenue grew 18% y/y, driven by increased paying users and ARPU, while social entertainment revenue declined 13% y/y. TME's valuation should focus on the music subscription segment, implying a 10% downside to $13/share, given the limited value of social entertainment.
Chinese tech giant Tencent on Friday night launched the official version of its T1 reasoning model, stepping up competition in China's increasingly crowded artificial intelligence sector.
The market very much liked what it heard coming from China's Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME -1.96%) this week. A better-than-expected earnings report the company published on Tuesday was enough of a hit to rise the stock nearly 12% higher in price over the period, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
I reiterate a ‘Strong Buy' rating on Tencent, driven by robust business expansion in marketing services and FinTech, and significant AI integration into consumer platforms. Tencent achieved 8.4% revenue growth and a 24% increase in adjusted operating profits in FY24, with a fair value of USD $80 per share. Tencent's cost optimization and high-quality revenue streams have improved margins, alongside a substantial share repurchase program indicating management's confidence in undervaluation.
