HSBC Global Research attended Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit on 9-11 September on strategic updates for its To-B businesses.
The research house noted that Tencent Holdings (00700) plans to invest RMB500bn in the coming 5 years in areas in line with the "new infrastructure" advocated by the government (e.g. 5G, AI, IoT, data center), covering infrastructure, R&D of frontier technologies, talent acquisition, strategic investments, and marketing.
HSBC sees strong growth in e-commerce driving deeper monetization in payment and ads, mini-program GMV (gross merchandise value) at RMB800bn in 2019, only 12% of Alibaba's (09988), suggests upside potential.
HSBC maintained its "buy" rating on Tencent, with a target price of HK$655.
