Heading into today, shares of the company had gained 5.36% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 6.31% and outpacing the S&P 500's gain of 3.95% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $13.30 billion, up 15.03% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1.47 per share and revenue of $59.78 billion. These totals would mark changes of +25.64% and +26.54%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for TCEHY. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
