想要读懂字节腾讯在长短剧赛道的攻守秘籍，要从两家耗时多年的 IP 之战寻找答案。 四年前，战争打响。 当时字节以番茄小说为代表的免费网文模式，打乱了以阅文集团为代表的稳固网文付费市场模式，阅文管理团队集体换班，在继任者程武的带领下，阅文扭亏为盈，但依然追赶不上对手番茄小说的增长速度，去年阅文再次换帅，由侯晓楠接棒。 四年后，战果初显。 作为付费网文的主阵地，稳住阵脚的阅文要保住在线阅读的内容基本盘，虽然去年净利润增长了 32.3% 至 8 亿，但全年营收同比下降 8% 至 70.1 亿，阅文依然面对压力。在财报中，阅文提出要在短剧和海外市场两个方向上发力，而这两个方向同时也是番茄小说的优势之处。 字节和腾讯，互相深入对方的腹地，成为对垒中的最明显之处。 相比之下，字节旗下的番茄小说想要的更多。凭借免费网文的流量模式优势，不光在去年开始打入出版物电子阅读市场，争夺腾讯旗下微信读书的高质量用户，还在长剧集市场中纵横联合，集齐了爱优腾三个合作伙伴，打造*IP 取得产业链顶端价值的意图非常明显。 今年可能就是收获战果的一年。这是一场孵化优质内容的竞争，更是一场效率和速度的比拼。 字节的网文免费派和腾讯的网文付费派，都 ...

智通财经APP获悉，富瑞发布研究报告称，当前环境下投资者似乎对亚太区(日本以外)互联网细分行业的可持续性及盈利增长感兴趣，主要关注旅游及本地服务需求、即将推出的新游戏及游戏监管审批、国内外线上购物市场格局，以及广告业宏观情况等议题。 该行指出，投资者目前主要着眼于企业盈利增长、行业估值、细分行业发展趋势等，考虑到今年以后的估值时，认为有2至3年盈利前景的互联网公司较被看重。此外又提到，投资者似乎更喜欢市场份额较为稳定、身处参与者较少的行业，以及具高质量增长潜能的企业，认为腾讯控股(00700)实行多元化发展模式及着眼于提升毛利率的“高质量增长战略”，令其成为区内行业首选。至于细分行业，该行则看好旅游、娱乐和本地服务业，因为相关行业潜在催化剂较多，且前景能见度较高。 ...

智通财经APP获悉，野村发布研究报告称，维持腾讯控股(00700)“买入”评级，2024财年预测不变，目标价400港元。该行留意到，腾讯于今年加快股票回购速度。最近数周的股票回购量，占公司每日股票成交量逾10%。该行认为，以上主动回购的行动呼应公司管理层早前表示向股东返还更多回报的承诺。 该行预计，腾讯控股2024财年首季的非通用会计准则净利润同比上升33%。由于线上游戏业务表现疲弱，营业收入同比将维持增长6%。该行认为，腾讯受一年前的高基数效应所影响，公司2024财年首季的网路游戏收入或会同比下跌4%，至于国内游戏收入则同比下跌6%。 此外还认为，腾讯国际游戏业务或出现2%的同比增长。公司的线上广告收入或比去年同期增长19%，并估计影片帐号广告可能占当中13%的份额。而受惠于来自影片帐号广告等利润率较高的业务收入份额增加，腾讯的毛利率或会继续扩张。预期毛利率会同比增加3个百分点至49%，为公司33%的稳健盈利增长提供支持。 报告中称，今年第二季中国游戏产业较为繁忙的时间，当中腾讯及网易将于今年第二季和夏天推出多款重磅游戏。该行认为，以上两间公司或会于新游戏发布前后增加行销支出，以提高成功率。并预期微博-SW ...
