"We sustained healthy increase rates in 2025, as AI capabilities improved our ad targeting and supported more engagement with our games," CEO Ma Huateng said in a remark. "Our highly resilient and cash generative core businesses share us with the resources to capital our increasing investments in AI."
The Shenzhen-based firm has recently branched out into the world of AI agents -- tools that execute real-life tasks such as sending emails or booking flights -- with its WorkBuddy app.
The tool, released this month, is a foray into an sector some view as the tech's next frontier after chatbots such as ChatGPT.
On Wednesday, Tencent said net profit for 2025 came to 224.8 billion yuan ($32.6 billion), beating estimates of 221.9 billion yuan in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
