Vipshop Holdings Ltd. ADR
VIPS-N
TOP PICK
Apr 24, 2025
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly
VIPS is a play on the potential for China and the US to negotiate mutually beneficial terms for tariffs. The online seller of retail clothing based in China has seen strong revenue and cash flow growth, based on high margin online sales. It trades at 6x earnings, 1.2x book and supports a 20% ROE. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow. It continues to build cash reserves while aggressively buying back shares. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $16.00 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 3.6%
