Despite what has been a horrendous year for Chinese stocks, analysts are starting to come around on the value of their current prices. Analysts like SC Asia’s Sid Chorara believe that AliBaba is undervalued and will outperform this valuation over the coming years. Chorara points to its cloud computing business and the fact that AliBaba has $15 billion in free cash flow which makes it one of less than 10 companies in the world with that kind of money on hand. Shares of AliBaba are down by 15.7% this year but more than 52% over the past 52-weeks.
BABA stock price
Currently, China is holding its annual 618 shopping festival which is held by the eCommerce titans like AliBaba and JD.Com (NASDAQ:JD). The festival usually has massive discounts for shoppers and is similar to the Black Friday shopping season in the United States. This year’s festival comes as China is easing conditions from a COVID-lockdown, and continues to grapple with rising cases in Beijing. Analysts anticipate slower than normal sales this year given the current economic environment.
