TENCENT (00700.HK)  +1.500 (+0.330%)    Short selling $1.56B; Ratio 12.851%   reported a 1Q non-IFRS net profit up 11% YoY, in line with market expectations, CICC said in its report. Affected by revenue deferrals, 1Q revenue rose 9% YoY, below market expectations.

TENCENT's 1Q game gross receipts recorded promising growth, with evergreen titles notching new highs. As the Spring Festival fell later this year, part of game gross receipts and revenue sharing was deferred to subsequent quarters. The broker expected domestic game revenue to grow 12% YoY in 2Q26 and overseas game revenue to ascend 10% YoY.

In the future, if mini program code is converted into AI skills, it could build a differentiated ecosystem moat.

The broker forecast 2Q26 adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit to grow 7% and 9% YoY, respectively.

CICC maintained its revenue and non-IFRS net profit forecasts for 2026 and 2027. It reiterated an Outperform rating and kept the TP at HKD666.
