<ul>
<li>Tencent's latest financial results are in line with expectations, with revenue and non-IFRS profit of 2.5%/(2.1%) vs cons. While we anticipate weak growth in the gaming sector,</li>
<li>We suggest that advertising presents several catalysts for Tencent, including the recovery of Ecommerce and gaming, WeChat Video Account's growth, and inter-connections with Baba and Mihoyo. </li>
<li>We maintain a BUY rating with an unchanged target price of HK$433, implying 34X PE in 2023.</li>
