AI Technology Fully Integrated, Boosting Core Business Growth

Tencent's management stated that investments in large-scale models and AI applications are enhancing efficiency across various business units. AI has significantly improved product performance in areas like advertising precision, game content generation, and social content distribution, providing strong support for revenue growth.

In the gaming sector, both domestic and international markets showed growth, with the overseas gaming segment continuing to be a major driver. The social ecosystem remains vast, creating a stable foundation for advertising and content commercialization.

Advertising performance was particularly outstanding this quarter, growing over 20%, primarily driven by AI improving advertiser conversion rates, thus boosting overall commercialization efficiency.

 

Cloud Business Growth Slows, but Long-Term Potential Remains

Although both enterprise services and cloud businesses continued to show double-digit growth, their growth rate was relatively modest compared to other segments. Tencent noted that the shortage of AI chips led to an inability to fully meet cloud computing demand, with priority given to internal needs. Market expectations suggest that, if hardware supply improves in the future, this segment could see renewed acceleration, particularly as demand for AI inference and model services continues to grow.

 

Looking Ahead: Investors Focus on Three Key Areas

The market widely believes Tencent's future growth will depend on several key factors. First, the deep integration of AI technology and commercialization will continue to drive the company's development, especially in improving advertising efficiency and accelerating AI-driven game content generation. Second, continued expansion of international gaming businesses will remain a major growth driver. Lastly, as hardware supply gradually improves, the enterprise services segment could see significant growth potential, further accelerating the overall business expansion.

Overall, Tencent's Q3 earnings demonstrate steady growth in its traditional core businesses, while AI-driven improvements in various segments further strengthen its ecosystem value. Despite temporary constraints in the enterprise services sector due to hardware shortages, the company’s overall strong financial performance provides support for the stock price to maintain an upward trend in the medium term.
