Chinese tech giant Tencent’s quarterly revenue rises 15%, fueled by AI

Tencent on Thursday posted 15% year-on-year revenue growth, with AI boosting the Chinese tech giant’s performance in advertising targeting and gaming.

Here’s how Tencent performed in the third quarter of 2025, per earnings released on Thursday: 

  • Revenue: 192.9 billion Chinese yuan ($27.12 billion), surpassing the 189.2 billion Chinese yuan expected analysts, according to data compiled by LSEG. 
  • Operating profit: 63.6 billion yuan, versus 58.01 billion yuan expected by the street.  

Tencent boosted its capital expenditure earlier this year as it ramped up AI and eyed European expansion for its cloud computing services, which would compete against market leaders Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. It has its own AI foundational model in China called Hunyuan, however it also uses DeepSeek in some products.  

Tencent shares are up 56.7% year-to-date.
