HONG KONG -- Tencent Holdings logged a third consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth in July-September, though the 10% year-on-year rise to 154.63 billion yuan ($21.3 billion) missed the average forecast of 155.85 billion yuan by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.

The growth is based on a relatively low comparison base last year, as China's stringent zero-COVID measures were not lifted until December 2022.
