While Goldman Sachs expected only mid-single-digit YoY group revenue growth for 1Q24 at both companies, for TENCENT, the broker believed that the double-digit growth in the company's games from March to April could provide clarity on the growth pace of the games business in 2Q24, according to the report.

As for BABA-SW, Goldman Sachs noticed that the total parcel volume in China was better than expected recently, with growth of over 20% in April, and a 30% YoY growth during the Labor Day holiday period.

Goldman Sachs believed that the BABA management's counterattack strategy for the e-commerce sector continues to gain traction, and that the sales growth rate of Taobao-Tmall will outpace the national sales growth rate in the recent months.
