A research report by Morgan Stanley noted that shares of TENCENT (00700.HK)  -5.800 (-1.264%)    Short selling $2.14B; Ratio 14.766%   swelled 10% yesterday (2nd) following reports that the company is testing a native WeChat AI agent. Regulatory filing for the product could begin as early as June, followed by limited external testing and a phased rollout.

During the first-quarter earnings conference call, management described AI agents as a breakthrough application scenario and highlighted the company's platform advantages across WeChat, QQ, WeCom, Yuanbao and QQ Browser. However, a clear timeline has yet to be provided.

The broker believes the WeChat AI agent represents a key catalyst. If the reports are true, the launch timeline could be earlier than its previous expectation of 4Q26. It expects TENCENT to step up investment in computing power, with supply conditions improving from 2H onward.

Although the monetization model remains unclear, launching a competitive consumer-facing AI agent is strategically significant and would help narrow the gap with ByteDance and BABA-W (09988.HK)  -1.100 (-0.891%)    Short selling $1.89B; Ratio 20.283%   .

Morgan Stanley noted that TENCENT is trading at 13.9x 2026E PE, which it considers attractive. The broker reiterated its Overweight rating with an unchanged TP of HKD650.
