With both international market share and R&D efficiency increasing, Tencent will demonstrate stronger profitability and a stronger core competitive advantage.

S&P 500 Falls for Fourth Consecutive Day, Market Valuation Correction

US stocks performed poorly on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 closing down 1.2%, marking its fourth consecutive day of losses and breaking below a key technical support level. The most prominent market focus was the collective pullback in leading AI stocks, with heavyweights like Nvidia and Broadcom experiencing significant declines, reflecting growing investor concerns that tech giants' massive investments in AI infrastructure have yet to translate into substantial revenue. Despite dovish signals from Federal Reserve Governor Waller supporting interest rate cuts and stabilizing Treasury yields, market funds are clearly withdrawing from overvalued tech sectors and shifting towards value and defensive industries. This market sentiment reflects a reassessment of profit visibility by investors, suggesting that tech stocks will face greater volatility and valuation correction pressure in the short term.

Hong Kong Stock Connect saw a net inflow of HK$7.91bn on Wednesday, with Xiaomi Group (1810) experiencing the largest net inflow at HK$1.06bn, followed by Meituan (3690). On the other hand, China Mobile (0941) recorded the largest net outflow at HK$510mn, followed by CNOOC (0883).
