Morgan Stanley upgraded Alibaba to a preferred stock, replacing Tencent. The bank believes that Alibaba has a complete AI technology stack, including self-developed chips, which significantly enhances its chances of becoming an AI winner. Although short-term profitability faces pressure, Alibaba's advantages in cloud infrastructure and applications provide it with structural advantages. Tencent, on the other hand, has become a follower due to the advantages of the WeChat ecosystem

China's "lobster farming" is so sensational that the whole world is astonished. Goldman Sachs sales are surprised: The speed and enthusiasm of the Chinese people!

Yesterday $TENCENT(00700.HK) $Tencent(TCEHY.US) rallied sharply. It was driven not only by the public rollout of the 'Lobster' bundle — Workbuddy (a desktop AI agent workspace for office use, compatible with OpenClaw skills), QQ-bot (an IM-focused bot that connects to the OpenClaw bot), and Qclaw (one-click OpenClaw deployment with WeChat/QQ integration). A report from The Information also helped: a WeChat Agent is coming, with limited testing around mid-year and a full rollout in Q3. The WeChat Agent is not new; Tencent started the project last year, likely built on Mini Programs within the WeChat ecosystem. It appeared in Q2–Q3 channel checks and on Tencent's earnings call, but management held back from spotlighting it given lagging base models, the need to ensure UX, and compute constraints. While broadly expected, the strong market reaction stems from two factors. First, Yuanbao's setbacks in the early-year AI bot race dented sentiment. Second, the leaked timeline for WeChat Agent — unconfirmed — raised expectations; Dolphin Research expects a phased launch prioritizing UX, so actual timing may slip. Amid a proliferation of AI entry points, anchoring the AI narrative around the WeChat ecosystem reignites confidence in Tencent's AI. With earnings next week, attention is also shifting to its solid fundamentals, with meaningful runway in ads and scheduled tentpoles such as 'Honor of Kings: World' and 'Roco Kingdom'. As a result, at an Approx. RMB 4tn market cap and ~13x P/E, sentiment has started to recover. Looking to next week's print, we expect focus not only on ads and games growth in 2024 but also on Tencent's AI progress and roadmap. If, as The Information suggests, WeChat Agent proceeds smoothly and goes full scale in Q3, compute capacity and costs will come under scrutiny. Some investors will also worry about higher spend weighing on near-term profit and shareholder returns.
