How TNL Mediagene Is Leveraging Acquisitions And Organic Growth To Become The Largest Media Tech Company In Southeast Asia
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
DETROIT, MICHIGAN - June 12, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Joey Chung, founder and CEO of TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG), and Motoko Imada, co-founder and president of the company, were recently guests on Benzinga's All-Access.
TNL Mediagene is a next-gen media company focused on Millennial and Gen Z audiences in Japan and Taiwan. The company operates 25 publications across news & business, B2B media, technology, lifestyle & food and sports & entertainment and has an engaged base of more than 45 million readers. In addition to its preemie content, TNL Mediagene also operates a robust AI-drive ad tech business that leverages the data it collects to enable brands to accurately identify and engage with the right audience.
'We are one of the largest independent media tech groups and soon we want to be the largest de facto one-stop shop,' said Chung. Unlike some of its rivals, TNL Mediagene owns the entire ecosystem from content creation to AI data collection and analysis, which Chung says gives it an edge over its competition.
Chung also noted that TNL Mediagene is experiencing rapid revenue growth of 35% year over year. Roughly half of that comes from organic growth, while the rest is via buys. TNL Mediagene completes one to two acquisitions every year and plans to continue that trajectory for the next three to five years. Chung noted that the company is currently in talks with potential targets.

China Boosts Credit with $204B Bond Push--But Borrowing Stays Muted
China's credit growth picked up in Maybut the momentum came from Beijing, not the private sector. The People's Bank of China reported nearly 1.5 trillion yuan ($204 billion) in government bonds were sold last month, roughly 20% higher than a year ago. That marks the third time in 2025 bond sales have topped 1 trillion yuan in a single month. The surge helped lift total aggregate financing to 2.29 trillion yuan, an increase from 2 trillion yuan in May 2024. On the ground, though, the appetite for new borrowing looks subdued. Households took out just 54 billion yuan in new loans last month, bringing the year-to-date total to 572 billion yuanthe lowest since at least 2009. New loans from financial institutions also fell, landing at 620 billion yuan, well below last year's 945 billion yuan for the same period. This comes even after the PBOC announced sweeping monetary easing in early May, including across-the-board rate cuts and liquidity moves that could inject 2.1 trillion yuan into the economy. According to Bloomberg Economics' Eric Zhu, May's numbers suggest the government is delivering on its stimulus plans, but the response from households and businesses remains cautious. For global investors watching China's recovery story, the next leg of growth may depend on whether demand strengthens beyond public-sector activity. Companies with strong exposure to the Chinese consumer, including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), could be watching for early signs of a turn in private-sector sentiment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat, underscoring uncertainty. Market participants remain alert to how the situation might affect tech demand and broader sentiment. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

AMD's MI350 Previewed, MI400 Seen as Real Inflection
AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) previewed its MI350 AI accelerators at Thursday's AI event, but Morgan Stanley argues the real turning point will come with next year's MI400 series. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with AMD. Analyst Joseph Moore kept his Equal-Weight rating and $121 price target, noting that while the MI350 launch hit expectations, the focus remains on the rack-scale MI400/450 product for next year, which could provide the bigger inflectionif they can deliver. The event featured customer testimonials from Meta, Oracle, OpenAI, Microsoft, Cohere and HUMAIN that were constructive but not thesis changing, Moore said. AMD also highlighted its rack-scale architecture and gave a sneak peek at the MI400 series, which early indications suggest could match Nvidia's forthcoming Vera Rubin GPUs in performance. However, Moore warns that near-term upside remains modest until MI400 proves itself: AI upside is considerable longer term but near-term products don't support high convictionMI400 may change the stakes, but is still something of a show-me story. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's onstage appearance added credibility to AMD's tens of billions revenue forecast for AI, Moore noted, even though no surprise customer deals were announced. The company underscored its aggressive M&A strategy25 acquisitions and investments over the past yearas evidence of its resourcefulness in chasing market share against much larger rivals. Why It Matters: With the AI accelerator market dominated by Nvidia, MI400's successful delivery could be the catalyst AMD needs to boost its data-center compute share and validate lofty long-term growth projections. Closing: Investors will look for early technical benchmarks and customer commitments around MI400likely unveiled in detail at next year's Computex eventto gauge whether AMD can ignite its next AI growth phase.
