TENCENT (00700.HK)  -15.200 (-3.156%)    Short selling $2.91B; Ratio 12.669%   is reportedly close to launching an embedded AI Agent within WeChat, BofA Securities said in its report. The company is testing prototypes of AI-supported features and may initiate the required compliance procedures as early as this month, first rolling out to a small group of external users before gradually expanding. However, the official public launch date has yet to be confirmed.

The launch of WeChat AI Agent should help drive a stock re-rating, with the narrative shifting toward TENCENT's capability in executing AI applications, thereby easing investors’ excessive focus on standalone AI chatbot app DAU. A public launch of WeChat AI Agent would require substantial computing power, a boon to TENCENT's capex outlook for 2026-28, and is expected to result in higher token costs. Nevertheless, TENCENT's core businesses remain well positioned, with advertising and gaming businesses still under-monetized.

BofA Securities remains positive on TENCENT's clear re-rating path: more upgrades to the Hunyuan model family in the next 3-6 months; acceleration in capex and cloud revenue growth in the next 6-12 months; and a gradual rollout of WeChat AI Agent over the next 9-18 months. The TP is HKD780. The Buy rating is maintained, with TENCENT remaining its top pick in China's internet sector.
