πŸ‚ $BABA vs 🐺 $MEITUAN – Trend Rider or Underdog Gambler?

Investors in China tech are facing a familiar dilemma: follow the major trend or bet on an underdog comeback?

Alibaba ($BABA) surged 12% after its latest earnings, underscoring how scale, margin recovery, and favorable policy support can reignite investor confidence. Riding $BABA aligns you with momentum and fundamentals, giving safer compounding returns as e-commerce and cloud operations stabilize. The Street’s targets now point toward the $90–100 zone if support near $80 holds firm.

Meituan ($MEITUAN), on the other hand, tumbled sharply after reporting earnings. Yet, in every selloff lies the seed of opportunity. If Meituan can demonstrate cost discipline and benefit from a rebound in Chinese consumer demand, a mean-reversion rally back toward HK$125–130 is entirely possible. The risk? A breakdown below HK$100, which would likely trigger further outflows.

πŸ“Š Price levels to watch:

$BABA: Support $80 β†’ breakout zone $90 β†’ upside $98–100

$MEITUAN: Support HK$110 β†’ rebound target HK$125–130 β†’ risk HK$100

πŸ‘‰ Trend followers will prefer $BABA.

πŸ‘‰ Risk-takers may eye $MEITUAN's comeback potential.

Follow $BABA Trend or Bet on an Meituan's Underdog Comeback?
This Wednesday, $MEITUAN-W(03690)$ released its latest earnings report. Profit pressure led to a sharp plunge in its stock price. Just one day later, $Alibaba(BABA)$ reported earnings and jumped 12%. At the earnings call, Meituan CEO Wang Xing said: β€œIn a big competition, being the underdog is the most exciting position to be in. That’s why this is so thrilling.” Will you bet on the underdog or ride the surge? Why underdog? The popular one may have fewer upside potential. Risk-reward ratio may be low. Why the major trend? At least you won’t lose money on Nvidia.
