According to Wallstreetcn article, during the latest earnings call, Tencent's management announced plans to at least double investments in mixed yuan and new AI products by 2026. To support the increasing AI investments, the company expects this year's share buyback scale to be lower than in 2025. This shift from reducing buybacks to increasing AI investments quickly triggered market fluctuations. According to Zhui Feng Trading Platform, Goldman Sachs pointed out in its latest research report that Tencent is at a "mixed" turning point. On one hand, AI is empowering its gaming and advertising businesses; on the other hand, the company is clearly shifting to an investment phase driven by new AI products. As a result, Goldman Sachs lowered its earnings growth forecast for Tencent in 2026, expecting its adjusted net profit to grow by 7% year-on-year, down from the previous expectation of 10%. Xiaomi opened up over 2.5%. According to Wallstreetcn article, a recently launched AI model named Hunter Alpha has attracted attention from the global developer community after being anonymously launched on the developer platform OpenRouter Hunter Alpha launched on March 11 in the form of an "invisible model," featuring over 1 trillion parameters and a context window of 1 million tokens. Due to the parameter specifications closely matching the widely circulated information about DeepSeek V4, it sparked widespread speculation. Xiaomi ended several days of speculation with an official announcement. In the early hours of March 19, Xiaomi released the MiMo large model series with three updates, including the flagship base model MiMo-V2-Pro, the multimodal agent model MiMo-V2-Omni, and the speech synthesis model MiMo-V2-TTS. Subsequently, Xiaomi founder Lei Jun stated on Weibo that Xiaomi had just released the trillion-parameter large model MiMo-V2-Pro and disclosed that Xiaomi's "actual progress in AI may be much faster than what everyone sees," with AI research and capital investment expected to exceed 16 billion this year. In response, Goldman Sachs pointed out in a research report released on March 19 that the concentrated release of these three flagship models marks Xiaomi's transition from the AI research investment phase to the results realization phase, and its market positioning as a "physical AI leader" is gradually gaining substantial support ### Related Stocks - [601015.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/601015.CN.md) - [600403.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600403.CN.md) - [601001.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/601001.CN.md) - [601088.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/601088.CN.md) - [01088.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01088.HK.md) - [515220.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515220.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Texas grid hits turning point as solar prepares to overtake coal](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286895487.md) - [International Energy Agency Is Wrong To Forecast Coal's Demise](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286899857.md) - [Solar to dominate power sector over coal and gas by 2032, report suggests](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286947651.md) - [Solar Power Generation To Exceed Coal For First Time In Texas Grids](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286655177.md) - [Solar to surpass coal in Texas power generation in 2026, EIA says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286280795.md)
