Chinese gaming and social media giant Tencent on Wednesday reported profit above analysts' expectations, while revenue missed slightly.
Chinese technology giant Tencent Holdings posted on Wednesday a 8% rise in third-quarter revenue, driven by growth in its gaming business after the recent launches of new titles.
China's Spotify analogue Tencent Music Entertainment Group posted 6.8% increase in total revenues for the third quarter of 2024, hitting 7.02 billion Chinese yuan (around US$1 billion). TME attributed the increase to higher music subscriptions, although this was partially offset by lower revenues from “social entertainment services and others”.
Tencent Music Entertainment missed quarterly revenue estimates on Tuesday, as Beijing's crackdown on online gambling continues to impact its social entertainment segment.
ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming is now China's richest person, according to Hurun Research Institute's China Rich List. 41-year-old Zhang, with a personal wealth of $49.3 billion, beat Nongfu Spring founder Zhong Shanshan, who lost his number one spot after topping the list for three years.
I maintain a Buy rating for Tencent Music Entertainment, taking into consideration the multiple positives for the stock. TME's online music services revenue is resilient despite China's economic slowdown. The introduction of the new higher-priced Super VIP plan is expected to enhance ARPPU and drive future revenue growth for TME.
