Tencent Holdings Ltd TCEHYTOP PICKJun 29, 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.
Everything is going right for this company – it owns much of the platform for digital sales in Asia, whereas in North America it is fragmented between Amazon, Google and Facebook. This is a service company that will not be impacted by tariff wars. Yield 0.2%. (Analysts’ price target is $520.92 HKD)
