Tencent Holdings released its financial report for the first quarter of 2025 on May 14. In the first quarter, Tencent achieved revenue of 180.2 billion yuan, an increase of 13% over the previous year. Tencent CEO Ma Huateng said that in the first quarter of this year, Tencent's high-quality revenue maintained a steady growth trend. AI capabilities have made substantial contributions to businesses such as performance advertising and Evergreen Gaming, and have also increased investment in new AI opportunities such as Yuanbao apps and AI within WeChat. “We believe that in the AI strategy investment phase, the operating leverage brought by existing high-quality revenue will help absorb the additional costs generated by these AI-related investments and maintain financial stability. We expect that these strategic investments in AI will create value for users and society, and generate long-term, significant incremental returns for us.” Ma Huateng said.
