📈Is Alibaba DEAD? | An Analysis From a Chinese Stock Analyst | BABA Stock
Reasons for Alibaba's Stock Price Decline
In this video, a stock analyst based in China analyzes the reasons behind Alibaba's continuous decline in stock price. The analyst discusses concerns about China's slow recovery of consumption, uncertainty surrounding new changes, and challenges faced by Alibaba's main business.
Concerns About China's Slow Recovery of Consumption
- According to the latest financial report, Alibaba's net profit grew four percent in the past year.
- However, there are concerns about China's slow recovery of consumption after the outbreak of COVID-19.
- Many investors are concerned about the uncertainty that new changes will bring to Alibaba.
Uncertainty Surrounding New Changes
- The completion of each transaction depends on factors beyond Alibaba's control, including successful restructuring of assets and regulatory approvals.
- There is a lot of uncertainty about how other spin-off companies will develop and contribute to Alibaba.
Challenges Faced by Main Business
- The market share of Alibaba's main business is suffering from unprecedented competition and challenges.
- Sub-businesses are not fully disclosed in earnings reports, leading to a lack of understanding among investors regarding their respective values.
Valuation Repair Potential
- When sub-businesses such as AliCloud and Cainiao go public independently, there will be more comprehensive disclosures for outside investors.
- If these business valuations are factored into overall business valuation, the resulting company value could be almost three times its current price.
- Despite challenges faced by its main business, Alibaba has potential for valuation repair due to its many valuable sub-businesses.
Alibaba's Organizational Changes
This section discusses the purpose of Alibaba's high-level organizational change, the sequence of independent IPOs, and their performance and perspectives.
Purpose of Alibaba's High-Level Organizational Change
- The purpose of Alibaba's top-level organizational changes is to give businesses greater independence to enhance competitiveness.
- It is also to unite the business, lighten the load, shorten decision-making chains, avoid big company disease, and inject vitality into its own body.
Sequence of Independent IPOs
- Early strategy is to list one at a time when it is right.
- Hema Group is expected to go public in 6 or 12 months.
- Cainiao Group expected to go public in 12 to 18 months.
- Cloud Intelligence Group will be completely spun off and listed in the next 12 months by distributing dividends to shareholders.
- Ali Cloud Intelligence plays a role of exploring and pioneering generative AI for the next 5 to 10 years.
Performance and Perspectives
- Tmall and Cloud intelligence have larger business scales and room for development than most of Alphabet's subsidiaries.
- Splitting up businesses accounting for them independently, and listing them independently motivates employees while having a certain impact on the industry as well.
- Ali cloud has released Tongyitangyun big model but this is only in the first step of the Long March.
