2026-08-13 11:14:46 CLSA issued a research report covering TENCENT (00700.HK), of which 2Q26 results were in line, with total revenue and adjusted EBIT growing 11% YoY and 9% YoY, respectively. Online gaming and advertising maintained solid growth, gross margin expanded, while cloud business revenue accelerated on AI demand. Excluding AI-related products, adjusted EBIT grew 19% YoY, reflecting TENCENT's increased AI investments, with R&D expenses rising 35% YoY and capex spiking 176% YoY. The broker expected TENCENT's capex for 2026 may reach RMB200 billion, and therefore lowered its adjusted net profit forecasts for 2027 and 2028 by 2% and 6%, respectively. However, Xiaowei is set to expand trial usage soon, while Hy4 is also expected to be launched later this year. The broker believed these developments would further drive a valuation re-rating for the company. The broker reiterated its High Conviction Outperform rating on TENCENT, with a TP of HKD740. ~ AASTOCKS Financial News Website: www.aastocks.com | |
