Daiwa Securities released a research report projecting that Tencent Holdings will raise its AI capital expenditure expectations, which will pressure its mid-term earnings. Meanwhile, its gaming business growth has slowed amid a high base, though its market share growth momentum remains intact. The brokerage cut Tencent’s 2026 to 2028 earnings per share (EPS) forecasts by 1% to 6% to reflect these impacts. Daiwa sharply raised Tencent’s 2026 AI capital expenditure forecast from the original 108 billion yuan to around 181 billion yuan, to reflect the company’s stronger commitment to AI investment and improved chip supply. While higher depreciation will weigh on its near-term and mid-term earnings performance, this is also expected to drive faster expansion of its cloud business and monetization of AI demand, with such benefits anticipated to materialize as early as the second half of 2026. Daiwa maintained its "Buy" rating on Tencent, lowering its target price from HK$700 to HK$670.

Token Pocket Chief Business Officer Michael posted that the seed phrase of Robinhood’s founder was leaked during his live stream. Hackers gained control over the address, then used it and associated addresses to purchase large volumes of the meme coin $1, prompting thousands of investors to follow suit. This drove the token’s market cap from roughly $500,000 to $14 million in a short period. The $1 token’s price then plummeted, with its trading volume hitting around $20 million in just two hours. After the relevant address was frozen, hackers quickly moved to BNB Chain (BSC), issued new tokens using that address and its associated addresses, created trading hype through wash trading, and eventually dumped the tokens to cash out. Robinhood’s RPC has frozen the address, with nodes refusing to include transactions from it, making transfers and trading impossible.
