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.
