Tencent trades at ~12x forward earnings while core growth is ~10%, and ~17% excluding AI spending. Low multiple plus durable growth, WeChat ecosystem, buybacks, and AI product momentum suggests potential re-rating. Author believes Tencent is a buy because market treats it as an AI loser despite competitive AI offerings and wide moat. China regulatory/geopolitical risk, AI capex overruns, ad competition, and slowing macro/consumer demand could invalidate thesis. No other actionable trade ideas in this post.
