description: "CITIC Securities International released a research report stating that it has raised the target price for Tencent Holdings Limited from HKD 700, an increase of 9% to HKD 766, maintaining an \"Overweight\" investment rating. The firm has upgraded its earnings forecast for Tencent, now expecting the group's revenue for the fiscal years 2025/26 to grow by 14%/10% year-on-year, and non-IFRS net profit to increase by 17%/15% year-on-year, primarily benefiting from ongoing cost control and AI-driven efficiency improvements that drive margin expansion. The firm noted that Tencent's forecasted price-to-earnings ratio for the fiscal years 2025/26 is 21x/19x (above the average +1 standard deviation), compared to 17x/15x for its Chinese peers and 28x/28x for its U.S. counterparts. With a strong community network moat and AI technology, the firm believes that AI agents, advertising, AI product commercialization, overseas opportunities, and AI-driven margin improvements will provide Tencent with profit and valuation upside potential. Key risks: 1) Macroeconomic/Consumer; 2) Regulation; 3) Competition; 4) Product pipeline"
