- Mizuho analyst Wei Fang reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME), raising the price target to $11 from $10.
- The company reported first-quarter revenue growth of 5.4% year-over-year to $1.02 billion, beating the consensus of $985.62 million.
- The analyst applauds the company’s strong ARPU growth in music subscriptions, indicating improved consumer sentiment post-reopening.
- Fang sees ARPU to be the most significant growth driver in the future, as Chinese music users, on average, are paying a monthly fee equivalent to only half a cup of Starbucks vs. ~3 cups in the U.S., as a reference.
- As competition remains fierce, the analyst forecasts social entertainment revenue to continue declining for the rest of the year.
- The social entertainment revenue should account for less than 50% starting 2Q23, the analyst notes.
- Based on the solid performance in Q1, the analyst raised FY23 revenue growth rate estimate by 1 point to 5% Y/Y and FY24 by 1 point to 7%, respectively.
- Going ahead, as music revenue growth momentum continues, the analyst expects margins to continue expanding until the revenue-sharing scheme with top labels kicks in.
- Price Action: TME shares are trading higher by 8.9% to $8.35 on the last check Wednesday.
