HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares of China's Tencent Holdings are set to open 5.3 percent higher on Thursday after the world's largest gaming company reported a forecast-beating quarterly profit.

The stock is set to open at record high at HK$340.40. That compared with a 0.7 percent rise in the benchmark index.
