-- ブルームバーグは金曜日の決算プレビューで、アリババグループ(香港証券取引所:9988)とテンセントホールディングス(香港証券取引所:0700)は、人工知能(AI)関連コストの上昇と国内競争の激化を受け、来週発表予定の決算で収益成長率が鈍化する可能性があると報じた。 ブルームバーグはブルームバーグ・インテリジェンスの分析を引用し、テンセントの通期収益成長率はAI投資の倍増に伴い10%台前半に減速すると予想する一方、アリババは中国の消費見通しの低迷による圧力に直面していると伝えた。 ブルームバーグ・インテリジェンスはまた、クラウドコンピューティング需要の拡大は、同分野における激しい競争と利益率の低下圧力のため、2026年には両社の収益を大きく押し上げる可能性は低いと指摘した。 両社は来週水曜日に決算を発表する予定だ。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
