Tencent's net profit surged 82% in the second quarter, reaching 47.6 billion yuan ($6.6 billion), driven by strong growth in its gaming and advertising sectors, particularly following the success of the game Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (DnF Mobile). Revenue rose 8% year-on-year to 161.1 billion yuan, with advertising revenue increasing by 19%. The company's recovery in China’s gaming market, which had faced challenges in prior quarters, contributed significantly to these results, as domestic game revenue resumed growth. Tencent's shares have risen approximately 28% this year, reflecting investor confidence in its gaming strategies. CEO Pony Ma highlighted ongoing investments in AI and technology to enhance user engagement and service delivery. These developments place Tencent in a favorable position as it seeks to capitalize on gaming and advertising opportunities.
