Tencent has posted a 72 percent year-on-year increase in interim net profit.
First-half earnings at the Chinese internet giant reached 89.5 billion yuan.
It's not offering an interim dividend.
Net profit for the April-June period, meanwhile, jumped 82 percent from a year ago to 47.6 billion yuan.
Second-quarter revenue climbed 8 percent to 161.1 billion yuan, driven by a recovery in its gaming business after a launch of a new mobile game in May that got off to a strong start.
The long-awaited "Dungeon & Fighter Mobile" title dominated top-grossing charts on Apple's iOS platform in China for nearly a month after its release, according to industry data. (Agencies)
