Tencent Holdings Ltd TCEHYTOP PICKMay 24, 2018Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 09, 2026. Market Open.
Important, because it's the super-app for the Chinese consumer. Has a gaming platform, chat platform, and moving into the AI sphere. Interesting equity, but you need to make a call on China as a whole.
Remember what happened when the finance arm of BABA was supposed to go public: CEO said some things, Chinese government stepped in, Ant Financial was pulled, stock price of BABA collapsed by 70%, CEO disappeared for a few months. During that time, Tencent all of a sudden had to make a large donation to charity -- not something you can forecast. By investing in Tencent, you have to sign up for that.
Otherwise, a great company. Well managed, well structured, and they own the Chinese consumer.
Large owner of Epic Games. One of the top five internet companies in the world. Market cap is $492 billion. Last week the company beat earnings expectations. Over 1 billion active users. Fascinating growth story. Earnings Growth is forecasted to be 25 to 30%. (Analysts’ price target is $73.50)
