Coming into today, shares of the company had gained 12.49% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector lost 0.35%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.75%.
TCEHY will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be March 20, 2019. On that day, TCEHY is projected to report earnings of $0.28 per share, which would represent no growth from the year-ago period.
