Alternative ways to invest in Tencent

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Tencent), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Tencent is a major part of the PINK, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 0.91% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 0.91% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 5.55% of net profits

Tencent has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.91% of its share value annually.

Tencent has paid out, on average, around 5.55% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.91% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 0.91% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Tencent's case, that would currently equate to about 4.229 per share.

While Tencent's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

Tencent's most recent dividend payout was on 16 June 2024. To benefit from it's next dividend payout, you'll need to buy Tencent shares before 18 May 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Tencent's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Baidu (BIDU.US): (does not pay dividend)
- NetEase (NTES.US): 2.41% (2.41% forward annual dividend yield)
- Hello Group (MOMO.US): 5.69% (5.69% forward annual dividend yield)
Tencent's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 19 May 2014. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tencent shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tencent shares which in turn could have impacted Tencent's share price.
It's as easy to sell Tencent as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Tencent shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
3. Find your shares. You may be able to search your portfolio
4. Choose how many you'd like to sell. You'll be able to review the price and see how much you'll receive
5. Sell your Tencent shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold
