New Street: Tencent 4Q21 Results - Lowering PT on Continuing Margin Pressures and Weaker Topline Outlook

What's new: Tencent’s reported 4Q21 results were below consensus and our expectations. Ads and gaming rev could further decelerate into 1H amid tough comps, macro backdrops, and impact from regulations which could start to normalize in 2H22. Margins could be impacted by continued investments in video accounts, international games, and SaaS. We lower our PT to HKD500, which implies a 31.3x FY22E P/E. We maintain our BUY rating.
