Tencent Holdings Ltd TCEHYPAST TOP PICKNov 06, 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.
(A Top Pick Apr 23/18, Down 10%) It got creamed in the recent Chinese market take-down. Company fundamentals are good. A real growth company. Partially held back by Chinese regulators and caught in the US-China tariff war. He will add to his position, and will wait to see how things transpire. Owns this and Alibaba among Chinese stocks. Remember that each year, China adds the entire population of Canada to their middle class. Enormous growth.
