Chinese gaming and social media giant Tencent Holdings posted its slowest quarterly profit growth in two years on Wednesday, hurt by a gaming crackdown, and said the outlook for the advertising sector would remain weak into next year. Net profit for the three months through September rose 3% to 39.5 billion yuan ($6.18 billion), the company said in a statement.
