Tencent Music Entertainment (NYSE:TME) stock is experiencing a sharp decline following the release of its earnings report for the second quarter of 2024.
The company’s adjusted earnings per share of 65 cents fell short of Wall Street’s estimate of 1.18 yuan, while revenue of 7.16 billion yuan barely exceeded analysts’ expectations of 7.14 billion yuan. Additionally, Tencent Music Entertainment reported a 1.7% year-over-year decline in Q2 2024 revenue, primarily attributed to reduced revenue from its social entertainment services.
Executive chairman Cussion Pang expressed optimism about the industry’s long-term potential and the company’s commitment to achieving sustainable growth. However, investors reacted negatively to the earnings report, leading to heavy selling of TME stock with over 25 million units in motion compared to the daily average trading volume of 7.5 million shares. As of Tuesday afternoon, TME stock is down 15.2%, though it remains up 27.6% year-to-date.
