<li>We expect Tencent to report C3Q24 revenue, IFRS operating profit and IFRS net income in line, 5.7% and 7.1% vs. consensus. </li>
<li>Reason to own Tencent include: (1) company on an up game product cycle, (2) ample advertising inventory to benefit from GAI, (3) investor-friendly corporate culture. </li>
<li>With consumption uptick in C4Q24 and beyond, we see improvement in Tencent’s FinTech business. Temporary content shortage hurt Long Form Video this quarter. </li>
