Tencent on Wednesday reported full-year revenue that topped analyst predictions, as the Chinese tech giant continues to ramp up investments in AI.
Here’s how Tencent did in its full-year earnings for 2025:
Revenue: 751.8 billion Chinese yuan ($109 billion), surpassing the 750.7 billion Chinese yuan expected by analysts, according to data compiled by LSEG.
“We sustained healthy growth rates in 2025, as AI capabilities improved our ad targeting and supported more engagement with our games, and as our cloud business delivered improving revenue growth and profit at scale,” the company said in a statement.
“Our highly resilient and cash-generative core businesses provide us with the resources to fund our increasing investments in AI, including recruiting top-tier AI talent and upgrading our AI infrastructure.”
Much of Tencent’s revenue comes from gaming, but the company has looked to diversify by expanding into other areas, including cloud computing. The company has said it would grow its cloud computing unit into Europe in 2025.
Tencent’s cloud computing group chief told CNBC in January that it was planning to expand its data center footprint in the Middle East. CNBC has approached the company to ask if those plans had changed in light of the Iran war.
