2 China-Based Stocks in the Midst of Steep Pullbacks
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | November 14, 2024

• Shares of Alibaba and JD.Com are both notably lower this quarter

• JD.Com reported earnings today, and Alibaba enters the confessional tomorrow

While Wall Street has enjoyed a post-election rally, U.S.-listed Chinese stocks haven't fared so well. Donald Trump's U.S. presidential victory came with promises of higher tariffs for China, but the country's fiscal stimulus package is also weighing on equities.

Specifically, China's National People's Congress announced 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion) in a debt swap program to help local governments overcome debt burdens, but investors were underwhelmed by the lack of measures to help the housing market and personal consumption.

For JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:JD) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd - ADR (NYSE:BABA), earnings are also a factor.

JD.Com Shows Mixed Quarterly Results

E-commerce giant JD.Com reported third-quarter results, and its quarterly profit and revenue jumped 48% and 5.1% year over year, respectively, though the latter fell short of expectations. A rebound in electronics and home appliances, as well as sustained momentum in general merchandise helped drive its earnings beat, but fears of China's economic position are dragging JD.

The security was last seen 4.2% lower at $34.20, extending its quarter-to-date dip to 14.3%. Shares notched a roughly 19-month high of $47.08 on Oct. 24, but the election and stimulus news resulted in a sharp pullback. JD.com stock is now pacing for its worst weekly performance since May.

Options traders are lighting up JD's options pits. So far, 124,000 calls and 37,000 puts have traded hands -- 3 times the average intraday volume. Most popular is the December 45 call, followed closely by the January 17, 2025 50-strike call.

What to Expect from Alibaba's Earnings Report

Alibaba is slated to report fiscal second-quarter results before the open tomorrow, Nov. 15. Per Zacks, the e-commerce name is expected to show earnings of $2.26 per share on revenue of $33.47, the former an 8.63% year-over-year profit gain and the latter representing a 5.61% 12-month rise.

Alibaba stock has a mostly subdued post-earnings past, falling lower after five of its last eight reports. Plus, after its August report, BABA managed a meager 0.1% gain. Over the last two years, the security averaged a 4.9% next-day swing, regardless of direction, which is nearly half the 8.7% move options traders are pricing in this time around.

Ahead of the event, the security is 1.6% lower at $90.54. Shares have managed just one positive weekly performance since the week ended Oct. 11, and are pacing for another substantial weekly drop. BABA sports a 14.7% deficit for the quarter, but remains 17.8% higher since the start of 2024. Year over year, Alibaba stock is up 4.9%.

thanks.... For the heads up
but BABA makes a lot of MONEY in SALES outside CHINA (USA)
I don't think they want to stop that, since those Shareholders in CHINA (Gov) will lose BIG TIME
if you are worried or concern, SELL or do not BUY BABA SHARES

Beware of Chinese companies listed outside China that make all their profits inside China. They can just cancel their listing and leave all their overseas shareholders high and dry. One that comes to mind is JQW plc listed on the AIM market in the UK.
JQW appears to be very successful within China.

Thanks, but I have plenty of Shares.

Bull of the Day: Alibaba Group (BABA)
By: Zacks Investment Research | October 23, 2024

Alibaba Company Overview

Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock Alibaba Group (BABA) is a Chinese e-commerce juggernaut that runs popular storefronts such as AliExpress, which caters to global shoppers, and Taobao, which serves its domestic market segment. Like its U.S. counterpart Amazon (AMZN), BABA has businesses that stretch beyond e-commerce, such as its Alibaba Cloud service. Launched in 2009, the cloud business is one of the biggest in China and has ballooned to the second-largest revenue source for the company. Alibaba also benefits from strong momentum in its international wholesale, digital payments, and logistics businesses.

China Stimulus and Recovering Economy

The Chinese government completed a full 180 degree turn in 2024 and delivered a massive stimulus package. As if slashing interest rates and loosening restrictions weren’t enough, Chinese government officials promise to do more moving forward. People’s Bank of China Governor Pan said that the reserve requirement ratio could be reduced again this year and that the loan prime rate will likely be lowered on Monday. Meanwhile, China recently reported more robust growth numbers, and retail sales impressed investors. A flood of liquidity and a more robust economy bode well for Chinese stocks like BABA. Also, understand that the Chinese economy is coming from such a trough that even a reversion to the mean would result in a massive move for these stocks.

BABA’s Dirt-Cheap Valuation

Though BABA shares have gained a healthy 34% year-to-date, its valuation remains at bargain basement lows. For instance, BABA’s price-to-sales ratio of 1.88x is close to all-time lows and is well off the all-time high of 18x in 2018.

BABA Stock Repurchase Program

Alibaba is in the middle of a massive share repurchase program. The company bought back shares on almost every trading day in September. On October 17th, BABA bought back more than $17 million worth of shares. Share buybacks can be bullish because they reduce the number of shares outstanding. Apple (AAPL) is an excellent precedent of this phenomenon. AAPL shares stagnated for years before Carl Icahn and other institutional investors urged the company to repurchase shares.

Smart Money is Invested in BABA

The 13F disclosure requires institutional investors with more than $100 million in assets under management to divulge their positions. The most recent 13F disclosures revealed that BABA was a top holding for some savvy investors such as Michael Burry and David Tepper.

HK Listing & Stock Connect Program to Boost Investor Access

Millions of investors will gain access to BABA shares through a Hong Kong listing and China’s “Stock Connect” program. Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS ) expect $10-$20 billion inflows into the stock.

First Pullback After Breakout

BABA shares are retreating towards their 50-day moving average for the first time since the massive stimulus-induced breakout. Though there is room for more downside, the first pullback of this nature after a major breakout is typically buyable.

Bottom Line

China’s dominant e-commerce player is making a comeback driven by strength in its international business. BABA enjoys a dirt-cheap valuation, increased investor access, and institutional sponsorship.
