Tencent, China's tech giant, reported a strong first-quarter 2025 performance, exceeding revenue expectations with 180.02 billion yuan ($25 billion). While revenue increased 13% year-on-year, net profit slightly missed expectations at 47.8 billion yuan, up 14%. Growth was driven by its gaming division, particularly domestic titles like "Honor of Kings" and international successes such as "PUBG Mobile." Strong performance in marketing services, fueled by WeChat's advertising, also contributed to the positive results.
