[Tencent (700 HK, BUY, TP HK$362) TP Change]: Core Business Is Robust While VA Is Expanding Fast

By Ying Pan

  • We expect Tencent to report C4Q23 revenue, IFRS op. profit and IFRS net income in line, (3.3%) and (4.9%) vs. consensus.
  • The robust topline growth was mainly contributed by fast growing WeChat VA (Video Account) and strong performances of <Dream Star> in December.
  • We cut our TP to HK$362 to reflect operating margin decline caused by increased sales and marketing.
