Tencent Music Entertainment (TME) posted a mixed Q4 2025 report on Tuesday — revenue beat Wall Street expectations, but earnings came up short of forecasts.

Total revenue for the quarter came in at RMB8.64 billion ($1.24 billion), up 15.9% year over year. That topped the analyst consensus of RMB8.44 billion. However, adjusted earnings per ADS landed at RMB1.41 ($0.20), below the expected RMB1.54.

Non-subscription music revenue was the standout, jumping 40.8% YoY to RMB2.54 billion. Offline performances and advertising services were the main drivers.

Paying user numbers moved in the right direction. Online music paying users rose 5.3% YoY to 127.4 million, and monthly average revenue per paying user grew 7.2% to RMB11.9.

The company’s SVIP subscriber base crossed 20 million by the end of 2025. That’s a tier TME has been pushing hard as a premium offering.

Gross margin ticked up to 44.7%, from 43.6% in the same period last year.
