AB Foods to buy Hovis, expanding UK bread portfolio
LONDON (Reuters) -Associated British Foods has agreed to buy bread brand Hovis from private equity firm Endless, bolstering the group's loss-making Allied Bakeries unit which owns the Kingsmill, Sunblest and Allinson's brands, it said on Friday. AB Foods said in April it was "evaluating strategic options" for Allied Bakeries, saying it continued to face a "very challenging market". The group said in May it was in talks with Endless about a potential deal. The purchase price was not disclosed. 'This transaction will create a UK bakeries business that is both profitable and sustainable over the long term," AB Foods CEO George Weston said. The deal is subject to regulatory approval. It will be scrutinised by the competition authorities given the combined bread market share of Allied Bakeries and Hovis. However, regulator the Competition and Markets Authority is under pressure from the UK government to support growth.

Tencent's Earnings Beat Sparks Price Targets Showing 16% Gain
(Bloomberg) — Chinese social media giant Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s ( TCEHY) strong earnings beat this week led more than two dozen analysts to lift their price targets for its stock, suggesting room for double-digit percentage gains over the next 12 months. Tencent's target price consensus has jumped by more than 5% to HK$688 since it reported quarterly results on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg calculations. That is the second biggest post-earnings jump in its price target over the past five years, beaten only by a March shift fueled by optimism around AI start-up DeepSeek.

At least 16 brokers are now forecasting the company's shares to rally above its historical high seen in 2021, erasing losses triggered by China's years-long crackdown on the private sector. They are bullish about the company's upcoming release of mobile game next Tuesday, seen as a key driver of its second-half gaming revenue. Tencent reported a 15% jump in revenue to 184.5 billion yuan ($25.7 billion) in the June quarter, beating analysts' projections. That was driven by double-digit growth in most major business segments including advertising, which it attributed to AI-driven enhancements.
