Financial technology and enterprise services suffered short-term setbacks and the growth slowed down

According to the financial report, the growth is mainly driven by the growth of business payment and financial management platform revenue, as well as the revenue growth brought by cloud services to further grasp vertical industry opportunities such as video, education and retail.
However, the decline of income on a month on month basis is mainly due to the decrease of payment activities, especially offline transactions and withdrawals. In addition to the impact of offline payment, there is also a certain degree of delay in the implementation of cloud service projects, which slows down the business growth of financial enterprises. However, in the last week of April, Tencent's daily average business volume has returned to the level at the end of 2019.

Tencent's earnings outlook,
Online advertising outperforms the market, and the role of small programs is becoming more and more obvious
Online advertising revenue reached 17.713 billion yuan, an increase of 32% year on year. Tencent said the increase mainly reflected the increase of advertising revenue brought by the increase of advertising inventory and exposure of Tencent mobile advertising alliance and wechat friend circle.
Q1 media advertising revenue was 3.121 billion yuan, down 10% year on year. Tencent said the decrease was mainly due to the weak macroeconomic situation and the suspension of sports events, resulting in a decrease in advertising revenue of video and news platforms.
Industrial Securities pointed out that the overall revenue of Q4 advertising industry in 2019 is declining. Apart from bilibilibili, the advertising revenue of other Internet advertising giants has declined year on year, and the revenue in the first quarter of 2020 is also unsatisfactory. Affected by large-scale public health events, the growth rate of advertising industry revenue slowed down, even showed negative growth.

In addition, applets and wechat search are expected to become a new incremental entry to advertising revenue.
At present, the number of daily active accounts of wechat apps has exceeded 400 million, and its business closed-loop is being improved. On February 17, wechat launched the public test of live broadcast component to help merchants complete the closed-loop sales of goods through live broadcast.
