Our power thesis
We expect messaging, transactions, and enterprise integration to keep Tencent powerful in China. It strengthens across the forces but faces faster growth elsewhere in the cohort.
Four Forces breakdown
Each force uses the same fixed 0–100 scale. The strongest force and breadth of control determine the Power Score.
| Force | 2026 | 2027 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compute | 70 | 75 | 80 |
| Interface | 90 | 90 | 90 |
| Alignment | 75 | 80 | 85 |
| Energy | 35 | 40 | 50 |
Our forecast
Across our 2026–2030 view, the Power Score rises from 78.8 to 83.1; the rank moves from #10 to #13.
Compute 70 → 80; Alignment 75 → 85; Energy 35 → 50.
The thesis above explains our call. Rank can fall even when power grows if other companies gain faster.
What would change our mind
Commercial agents bypass Tencent’s interaction and transaction environment.
