Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) reported a Q2 2024 revenue decline of 1.7% YoY to $985 million, missing analyst estimates. The decline was due to a drop in social entertainment revenues, partially offset by growth in online music services. Key metrics showed a decline in MAUs for both online music and social entertainment, but an increase in ARPPU for online music and a rise in online music paying users. Despite the revenue miss, the company saw a 42.8% YoY increase in operating profit and a 770 bps rise in gross margin. TME stock is trading 7.16% lower premarket.
