This summary was created by AI, based on 8 opinions in the last 12 months.
Experts express a mix of optimism and caution regarding Alibaba Group Holding (BABA). While many highlight the impressive growth in its cloud segment, with a noted 38% increase, concerns about government regulation in China loom large. The company's e-commerce arm faces challenges; however, some analysts believe the stock remains attractive, trading at low PE ratios and being seen as undervalued. There is a consensus that its investments in AI could be pivotal for future growth, despite concerns over overspending. Overall, Alibaba is viewed as a trading opportunity rather than a long-term hold, with some experts providing a bullish outlook for its performance in the coming years.
An expensive stock. It's centric to China and they want to be more global, therefore it's becoming riskier. They have unique businesses like Alipay which is used aggressively within China. It'll be hard to move beyond. He'd rather buy Amazon. Then again, there are a lot of people (customers) in China.
This is China’s largest online marketplace. It is very similar to Amazon and is very dominate – growing at 60-70% year over year. He likes the backdrop of Chinese equities, but there is risk when dealing in China. He sees the vast market size of this market as attractive. It plays a part in a portfolio strategy.
This is a play on global e-commerce. A well-run company and better than Amazon, because they simply connect the supplier with the end-user – avoiding building large warehouses. The multiple is 33X earnings with a 40% compound annual growth rate on revenues. Governance should not be an issue with the Chinese government. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $229.86 )
Alibaba (BABA-N) or Amazon (AMZN-Q)? You can buy both and he would. Don't use multiples to under valuations, but rather look at invested capital. Estimates 15-20% return on invested capital for Amazon. Alibaba is equal if not slightly better than Amazon. 18% ROIC. Loves both, but would slightly prefer Alibaba.
This is China's largest global online market place and is growing very rapidly. It’s not inexpensive. Trading at something like 40X next year's earnings estimate. There are political risks, because it is in China. The structural theme of online retail and marketplace is not one that is going to go away anytime soon. This should grow 50% this year and maybe another 30%-40% next year. Estimates are being revised higher.
Has had a great growth run. Revenues in the last quarter were up 61%. They dominate the Chinese market, which Amazon (AMZN-Q) is not able to get into. There are concentration risks, because it has been such a wonderful performer over the last 2 years. Because it doesn't pay a dividend and because it is part of the momentum stocks, if you doubled your money he would have no problem taking half off the table and letting the rest run.
This is right in the heart of e-commerce alongside of Amazon (AMZN-Q). It really is a juggernaut, growing at a tremendous rate. The most recent quarter revenues were up 63% and earnings were up 65%. The Internet stocks have had a tremendous year, especially Internet retail as a whole. It’s one you could have a little piece of to participate in the very important structural theme, which is not slowing down at all.
The Amazon of China, covering all the right bases. Valuation is okay. You're buying secular growth at 25%. The relative strength is great. It has consoliidated for a while. Downside to $170 and upside to $200, so that's your range. If ir breaks above $200, you're up up and away. Secular themes are great.
