Tencent Holdings Ltd TCEHYBUY ON WEAKNESSApr 04, 2019Stock 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.
He is out of it waiting for a pullback. It is a little overbought. He likes the company but he would wait for it to go to $44. He likes their mobile gaming sector. Their messaging system has 1.1 billion users. One of the 4th or 5th largest internet companies in the world.
