China's Tencent Music Entertainment Group beat market estimates for quarterly revenue on Monday as the Spotify-like music streaming platform benefited from a jump in paying users.
Stay-at-home orders imposed to stem a recent surge in Chinese COVID-19 cases have shut the door on social events, prompting consumers to turn to the company's karaoke app WeSing and live concert platform Kuwo Music for entertainment. A push for more original content to fend off competition from rivals Cloud Music and Bytedance-owned short-video sharing platform Douyin has also drawn users to Tencent Music's platform.
