Tencent posts 19% jump in third-quarter profit on AI-related gains, beating estimates



Revenue for the Shenzhen-based firm reached 192.9 billion yuan (US$27.1 billion), up from 167.2 billion yuan in the same period last year.

Net profit increased 19 per cent to 63.1 billion yuan in the September quarter, which surpassed the 55.9 billion yuan estimate from a Bloomberg poll of analysts.

“Our strategic investments in AI are benefitting us in business areas such as ad targeting and game engagement, as well as in efficiency enhancement areas such as coding, and game and video production,” founder, chairman and CEO Pony Ma Huateng said in a statement on Thursday.
As the capabilities of Tencent’s own AI model Hunyuan continued to grow, Tencent’s efforts in boosting its chatbot app Yuanbao and the AI functions within super-app WeChat “will gain further traction”, Ma said.
