Following the release of its fourth quarter earnings, Tencent is the first Chinese company to achieve a market capitalisation of over            billion, displacing Facebook as fifth most valuable global company. This growth has been highlighted by the            year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue from            billion in 2016 to            billion in 2017. However, Tencent missed analyst revenue estimates for            2017. This combined with the concerns for rising ecosystem investments, rising overall costs, and a slowdown in monthly active user (MAU) growth and biggest shareholder Naspers selling off            of its            stake in March 2018, paints a mixed picture. 

Companies and brands mentioned in this report: Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Facebook, Gaana, Google, iMessage, Naspers, Netflix, QQ, Spotify, Tencent, WeChat
