On the heels of turbulence for the market, and growth stocks in particular this year, each company's valuation is also down significantly from its previous high.With these industry leaders potentially on track for big rebounds, investors could wonder which stock looks like the better buy at today's prices. Read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors have different views on which company will be a better performer for your portfolio.The case for AmazonKeith Noonan: When it comes to innovation, Amazon has an absolutely incredible track record. The company built an online bookstore into the leading overall online retail platform, and it continues to shape the direction of the e-commerce world. The tech giant also spearheaded the evolution of cloud-infrastructure services with Amazon Web Services, and the technologies it provides are at the heart of the modern internet and the evolution of cloud-based software.Amazon also has a fast-growing digital advertising business that has plenty of room for long-term expansion. Because the company controls the leading online-retail marketplace, it has some natural advantages in the ads space, and it's still in the early stages of leveraging these strengths to build on its position in the category.The company is also a leader in smart speakers and voice-based operating systems, and its move to acquire iRobot should bolster its position in the consumer devices category and augment broader strategic initiatives. Between its various products and services for consumers and businesses, Amazon has access to an incredible amount of data, and this should help the company take advantage of opportunities in artificial intelligence and continue mapping out new growth strategies and ways to capitalize on synergies between its businesses.Amazon's cloud segment is highly profitable and continues to grow at an impressive clip, and advancements in automation and robotics could ultimately make its market-leading e-commerce business much more profitable. With big opportunities in its two core businesses, growth potential in other categories, and a penchant for market-defining innovation, Amazon looks like a great buy today.The case for AlphabetParkev Tatevosian: The factors that help make Alphabet an excellent stock to buy are that it holds a dominant position in a massive industry and sells at a relatively inexpensive valuation. Indeed, Alphabet is home to Google, the most powerful search engine worldwide. That's a critically important business to dominate because so many purchase decisions start with an internet search.It can partly explain how Alphabet has expanded its revenue from $46 billion in 2012 to $258 billion in 2021. More importantly, it helped boost operating income from $13.8 billion to $78.7 billion in that same time. Businesses with less dominant positions frequently grapple with competitors, which works toward lower profits. Alphabet's search engine makes money through advertising. Companies pay Alphabet to have their websites listed near the top of search engine queries.It's estimated that advertisers will spend $838 billion globally in 2022, an 8.4% increase from the year before. That massive figure allowed Alphabet to expand beyond its $258 billion revenue in 2021. If it operated in a smaller market, it could approach a ceiling much faster, making an investment less lucrative.GOOG Price to Free Cash Flow data by YCharts.Despite these excellent prospects, Alphabet is trading relatively inexpensively at a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 25.6 and a price-to-earnings ratio of 22.8. These are below its historical averages through the last five years.Which big tech stock should you buy today?Unless you're only interested in owning one of these big tech companies in your portfolio, this is a case where buying both stocks could be the right move. Alphabet's top positions in search, digital advertising, and mobile give it clear avenues to long-term expansion. Meanwhile, Amazon's market-leading e-commerce and cloud computing businesses give it a strong growth engine, and the company has proven it can successfully branch into new categories. Both of these technology leaders look poised to tap into secular growth trends, and each stock stands a good chance of being a long-term winner.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"GOOGL":0.9,"AMZN":1,"GOOG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1773,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996883055,"gmtCreate":1661143716579,"gmtModify":1676536461476,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9996883055","repostId":"1137992204","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137992204","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1661140750,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1137992204?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-22 11:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba: Fortunes Will Be Made","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137992204","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAlibaba is the ecommerce market leader in China and is investing strongly into new markets an","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Alibaba is the ecommerce market leader in China and is investing strongly into new markets and territories.</li><li>With Alibaba’s operating businesses currently trading at around 9 times at a time when margins are depressed, 30%+ annual compound returns over the next decade are possible.</li><li>The decision to invest or not ultimately depends on where investors land on the perceived risks of investing in China.</li><li>Whilst there are realistic risks, we think they are overblown and that long-term investors will do well by remaining rationally optimistic.</li><li>At the current price, we rate the stock as a “Buy.” Should the current risks reduce or be resolved, we would consider it a “Strong Buy” at the current level.</li></ul><p><b>Our view</b></p><p>Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA,BABAF) is one of the most controversial companies when it comes to investor opinion. Many believe it is a great business at a bargain price, whilst others believe the risks mean it is untouchable, even at a significant discount.</p><p>Putting the risks aside for a moment, there is a lot to love about Alibaba:</p><ul><li>the world's largest global e-commerce platform, bigger than Amazon (AMZN) and JD.com (JD) combined based on GMV;</li><li>a Cloud computing business in China which is a leader in a market which is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years;</li><li>a dominant position in China and an increasing presence across Southeast Asia meaning it is well placed to benefit from economic progress in the region; and</li><li>strong free cash flow and a solid balance sheet providing ample resources to continue to make strategic acquisitions and/or returns to shareholders.</li></ul><p>Alibaba's operating businesses currently trade at a multiple of around 9x owner earnings. And this is at a time when the company is in an investment phase, meaning margins are depressed and the true underlying earnings potential is underrepresented. Modest earnings growth combined with recovery in the valuation multiple could provide investors 30%+ annual returns over the next decade.</p><p>Based on these metrics, it is difficult to disagree that the current price represents an attractive valuation. However, the investment decision ultimately relies on the conclusion investors reach on the likelihood and impact of the various potential risks materializing.</p><p>When it comes to risks generally, investors can be guilty of ignoring them completely or assuming the worst-case scenario. In the case of Alibaba, we think the latter is true. Whilst there will inevitably be ongoing friction as the US learns to live in a world with a rising China, our view is that the world will ultimately continue to make progress and prosper over the long-term. We believe investors would do well by remaining rationally optimistic.</p><p>Even if we put our optimistic worldview aside, we feel that some of the risks are overblown. Only 10% of the company's external revenue is generated through the regulated businesses held within the VIE structures, and this will only reduce as the company continues to diversify and expand internationally.</p><p>As for the potential de-listing from the NYSE, we would hope that agreement can be reached to avert this eventually. However, in absence of cooperation on that issue, the company is pursuing a dual primary listing in Hong Kong which will provide investors with an alternative market in an internationally recognized financial center.</p><p>Overall, we feel that the strength of its businesses combined with the significantly discounted valuation compensate for the actual severity and likelihood of the risks materializing. We think it is a clear "Buy" at the current valuation. Should these risks reduce or a long-term resolution be reached, we see reason to upgrade our rating to "Strong Buy."</p><p>With that being said, each investor must consider this in the context of their own investment objectives, risk tolerance and psychological resilience. Bargains are never found in times of comfort and stability. As value investors with a long-term horizon and a deeply contrarian nature, we believe will be handsomely rewarded for the long and potentially rocky journey ahead.</p><p><b>An overview of Alibaba</b></p><p><i>Note from author: This section provides a description of the major services and businesses which are within the Alibaba ecosystem. For those who are already familiar with the operations of Alibaba, we suggest that you skip to the following section.</i></p><p>Alibaba is an e-commerce giant which serves 1.31 billion annual active consumers across the many platforms and businesses in the Alibaba Ecosystem. Total Gross Merchandise Value ("GMV") transacted in the Alibaba Ecosystem in FY22 was RMB 8.3 trillion ($1.3 trillion), making it the largest retail commerce business in the world, according to Analysys.</p><p>Alibaba reports its business across a number of segments: China commerce, International commerce; Local consumer services; Cainiao; Cloud; Digital media and entertainment; and Innovation initiatives and others. We provide an overview of each below.</p><p>China Commerce<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa56696fb04eb3546dc824af059ae17a\" tg-width=\"559\" tg-height=\"511\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Alibaba Annual Report FY22</p><p>Alibaba's China Commerce segment is primarily Taobao and Tmall. Together, these constitute the world's largest digital retail business in terms of GMV for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022, according to Analysys.</p><p>Taobao</p><p>Taobao is the company's main commerce platform and is both the starting point and destination portal for many users' shopping journey. It allows individuals and small businesses to create online storefronts and product listings for free. Alibaba generates revenue through add-ons sold to sellers, such as analytics and marketing. As well as being a shopping platform itself, it acts as a funnel for other platforms in the Alibaba ecosystem.</p><p>Tmall</p><p>Tmall is the partner of choice for both domestic and International brands. The platform is essentially a virtual mall, allowing brands and retailers to operate their own unique storefronts. The platform has a wide range of brands, with 320,000 brands and merchants on Tmall, including over 80% of the consumer brands ranked in the Forbes Top 100 World's Most Valuable Brands for 2021. It is the largest third-party online and mobile commerce platform for brands and retailers in the world in terms of GMV, according to Analysys. The platform differs from Taobao in that it charges retailers and merchants fees for setting up stores and a share of ongoing GMV, in addition to offering value-add services.</p><p>Other</p><p>There are a host of other platforms and businesses which cater to various markets. These include</p><ul><li>Taobao Deals - like Taoboao, but with a focus on value-for-money products;</li><li>Taocaicai - a community marketplace that offers consumers next-day pick-up services for a wide range of groceries and fresh goods at neighborhood pick-up points;</li><li>Tmall Supermarket - offers daily necessities, FMCG and general merchandise through Taobao app with same-or-next-day delivery services;</li><li>Freshippo - a retail chain for groceries and fresh goods with over 200 stores offering 30-minute delivery to customers living within a three kilometer radius of the store; and</li><li>Sun Art - an online and physical hypermarket.</li></ul><p>Alimama</p><p>The company monetizes its broad user base and insights into customer behaviors through its Alimama platform. Alimama offers paid marketing services to merchants, retailers and promoters allowing them to advertise across its many platforms.

The company also has a number of investments in which it holds a minority stake ("equity investees"). The most significant of these is the group's 33% stake in the Ant Group, the parent company of Alipay which provides substantially all of the payment processing and all of the escrow services on Alibaba marketplaces.</p><p><b>Business review</b></p><p>The Alibaba Group<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cf32e154e25cf9ca79847d923cd50e2\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>Despite its many operating businesses and international expansion, Alibaba is still predominantly a domestic e-commerce business in China. In FY22, China commerce - which include the company's domestic retail and wholesale businesses - accounted for almost 80% of the group's revenue. The next largest segments are Cloud (8% of revenue) and International Commerce (7% of revenue). We consider the performance of these three key segments below.</p><p>China Commerce<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f01712c02388c2274d21a037b77e306e\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>The e-commerce businesses in China continue to grow albeit at a slower rate, with growth slowing from 45% in FY21 to 18% in FY22. The company's main ecommerce platforms in China - Taobao and Tmall - have seen their revenue growth slow to low-single digits in FY22, with the majority of revenue growth now being driven by the growth of the company's direct sales businesses - Tmall Supermarket and SunArt.</p><p>This expansion into direct sales (i.e. traditional retailing) is unlocking new areas for growth, but at the cost of significantly lower margins. The company has also increased investment in its platforms and increased spending for user growth and on merchant support, further depressing margins.</p><p>As a result, EBITA margin has declined from 50% in FY20 to around 30% in FY22, offsetting the impact of the growth in revenue. The company expects margins to continue to be affected by this trend as direct sales account for an increasing share of revenue.</p><p><i>Please note: The</i> <i>EBITA reported by management excludes share-based compensation expenses. While we understand that it can be a useful metric on this basis, we have adjusted it to include the share-based compensation expense as this is a true cost to the company. Any reference to EBITA throughout this article is on that basis.</i></p><p>Cloud<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1405b6c4f1226c547e7b52fbc28864e\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>The trend of slowing growth is not confined to ecommerce, with the Cloud segment also seeing growth slow to 25% in FY22. The slowing growth was due to the loss of a significant customer as well as slowing demand from customers in China's internet industry.</p><p>The slowdown in FY22 follows a year where revenue grew by a little over 50% and has grown by 85% since in the past 2 years. In addition, excluding the impact of the customer loss, the underlying business actually grew by 29%.</p><p>The continued top-line growth is contributing to improving operating margins, albeit the Cloud business remains loss making. If share awards are excluded, however, Cloud has actually grown beyond its break-even point generating an EBITA margin of 2% in FY22. Due to the operational leverage of these types of businesses, further top line growth should start to result in improving margins.</p><p>International Commerce<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfec3544f8ac5498ceeeb239868cd84b\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from Company Annual Report.</p><p>The theme in International commerce is similar. Revenue growth slowed to 25% in FY22, following a strong FY21 which saw revenue grow by 44%. The slowdown has in part been due to various headwinds faced by AliExpress and Trendyol, which have been key growth drivers of growth in recent years.</p><p>Trendyol has been affected by high inflation in Turkey and the weakened Turkish Lira, whilst AliExpress sales have been affected by the removal of the EU VAT exemption for low value foreign imports. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has also resulted in supply chain and logistics disruptions.</p><p>The International commerce segment as a whole continues to be loss making, with the profits from the wholesaling business not enough to outweigh the losses from the retail side. The loss actually increased in FY22 due to increased promotional spend and user acquisition costs in respect of Lazada and the cost of investments in Trendyol at a time when it is suffering from the economic situation.</p><p>The "ecosystem"<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2fdfe85079b26520b0b049772b90c81\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>Whilst Alibaba operates numerous individual platforms, they all combine to create the "Alibaba ecosystem." At first glance, Alibaba operates a profitable e-commerce business in China which it uses to subsidize a host of other unprofitable ventures. However, it is too simplistic to look at Alibaba in this way.</p><p>Businesses which are currently loss-making, may still contribute positively to the overall strength and profitability of the wider ecosystem. The more services and platforms the company has, the greater the network effects and switching costs become for consumers and merchants.</p><p>Not providing such services could result in a loss of consumers and merchants to competitors, where the long-term impact would be greater than the cost of offering the service at a loss. On the other hand, if any loss-making business is not beneficial to the rest of the ecosystem, we would expect that it ultimately be wound down or disposed of.</p><p>Many of the loss-making businesses were also only acquired or started in recent years and have yet to reach a critical mass. Take the Cloud business, for example. This is a business which requires a lot of investment and has a largely fixed cost base, meaning it needs to reach a certain size to break-even. Any growth beyond that should be rewarded with very high margins.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04bf0a8cfb2214f758e87dce71528968\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>Looking at the Alibaba group as a whole, the theme of strong but slowing growth holds true. Again, it is important to view this in the context of the group growing its top line more than 5 times since 2017 - equivalent to a compound annual growth rate of 32%.</p><p>Since 2017, growth has come at the expense of profitability, with EBITA margins falling from almost 40% to less than 15% in FY22. If this decline in profitability had occurred whilst the operations of the group had remained constant, then we would see it as reason to be concerned. However, the key reason for the declining margins is the company's expansion which will form the basis for the company's future growth.</p><p>Whilst some of the decline in margin is structural as a result of expansion into lower margin business such as traditional retail and logistics, we do expect margins to improve as the company continues to grow and its businesses benefit from advantages of scale.</p><p>Any management team which is willing to put long-term success ahead of short-term profitability should be commended. The culture at Alibaba appears to be geared towards this. The legal structure - which essentially gives shareholders zero control over the management of the company - also means management is less likely to be concerned by the short-term demands of the market or shareholders.</p><p>The overall profitability of Alibaba is not solely dependent on its operating businesses. Significant fluctuations in the company's investment portfolio can also have a significant impact on net income. In both FY20 and FY21, the company recognized gains of over RMB 70 billion, equivalent to more than 90% of the company's operating income in each of those years. However, in FY22, the value of the company's listed portfolio declined by over RMB 15 billion - wiping out almost 25% of the company's operating income.</p><p>The performance of equity method investees - particularly Ant Group - can also materially impact overall profitability. Alibaba's share of profits from equity investees has improved from a loss of RMB 5 billion in FY20 to a gain of RMB 14 billion in FY22. Performance in FY22 was boosted by gains in investments recognized by Ant Group rather than improvements in the underlying business, meaning future profits may not be so high.</p><p>Overall, adjusted net income - which excludes changes in the value of investments described above, as well as certain one-off or non-cash costs - has been broadly flat in the three years through FY22 in the range of RMB 100 billion to RMB 120 billion.</p><p>Cash flow<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65d77c5942124c46a9eacf378c77ef67\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"726\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.</p><p>Essentially all of the company's net income translates into free cash which can be used to fund acquisitions or returns to shareholders.</p><p>In the three years through FY22, the company has generated over RMB 400 million in free cash flows. The main use for this cash flow has been acquisitions, with the company investing around 50% of its cumulative free cash flow on new or additional investment in equities, business combinations or non-wholly owned subsidiaries.</p><p>The company does not and has never paid any dividend, but does have a share repurchase program of up to $25 billion (RMB 103 billion). As of 30 June 2022, there is a further $12 billion (RMB 81 billion) still to be completed by 2024, equivalent to around 5% of outstanding shares at the current price.</p><p>The strong cash generation of the business is reflected on its balance sheet, with a net cash position of RMB 378 billion as of 30 June 2022.</p><p><i>Note: TheFCF metric reported by management</i> <i>excludes the acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses. Whilst these do not relate directly to the revenue-generating segments, they are still a true cash outflow from an investor's perspective. As such, we have adjusted management's FCF metric to include these outflows.</i></p><p>Q1 FY23 Trading Update<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6159fb931608db1e29590a5bf712b2d3\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Prepared by author. Data from Q1 FY23 trading update.</p><p>On 4 August 2022, the company released their results for the first quarter of FY23. A further slowdown with revenue flat on the same period in the prior, albeit management reported that a slow April and May had been offset but a recovery in June.</p><p>China commerce revenue fell by 1% as GMV fell by a single-digit percentage and order cancellations increased as a result of the Covid-19 resurgence. This was partially offset by modest single digit growth in International commerce, Local consumer services and Cainiao. Cloud was the stand-out performer with revenue up 10% on the prior year. Despite stable revenues, earnings of the operating business were down by almost 20% as EBITA margins fell from 17% to 11%.</p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>Regulation</p><p>The company operates a number of businesses in which foreign ownership or investment is restricted or prohibited. To ensure the company remains compliant, the businesses which are subject to these restrictions are carved out in separate legal entities which are not owned directly or indirectly by Alibaba, with control and economic benefit provided by way of contracts. Should the law (or interpretation thereof) change, there is a risk that Alibaba could be required to sell or cease operations in some of its businesses in China.</p><p>De-listing</p><p>There is a conflict between what the PCAOB in the US requires of auditors of US-listed companies and what auditors in China are allowed to disclose under Chinese law. Without cooperation on this issue, Alibaba may be prohibited from trading on the NYSE or other U.S. stock exchange by 2024 under current laws.</p><p>SEC investigation</p><p>In early 2016, the SEC initiated an investigation into whether the company has violated any federal securities laws in relation to its accounting practices. The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear what, if any, consequences the company could face.</p><p>Outlook</p><p>Management does not provide any medium-term guidance or targets in respect of the company's financial performance. However, its growth strategy revolves around the following three key trends.</p><p>Consumption</p><p>Consumption is a key driver of company performance. With the 1 billion active users on its e-commerce platforms in China, the company already has deep penetration of the domestic market. However, there is scope to grow through further penetration of less developed regions and capturing a larger proportion of existing users' spending.</p><p>Digitalization</p><p>Digitalization of the economy, particularly through cloud computing, represents a huge area of new business opportunity. China's cloud computing industry is still at a nascent stage of development and is forecast to increase by 400% by 2025.</p><p>Globalization</p><p>The company also hopes to capitalize on globalization. The initial focus is on expansion in Southeast Asia, through localized and cross-border offerings. Alibaba is already the largest IaaS service provider in Asia Pacific, and it continues to expand its international cloud infrastructure, with data centers in 27 regions globally, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Alibaba has two major components to it: its operating businesses (including its subsidiaries, VIEs and equity method investees) and its investment portfolio.</p><p>As of 16 August 2022, the company's ADRs (equivalent to 8 ordinary shares) trade at around $92, giving a total market capitalization of c.$244 billion (RMB 1,653 billion). Excluding the company's significant net cash position (including short-term investments) of RMB 453 billion and its investment portfolio with a value of RMB 234 billion, this implies a valuation of RMB 966 billion for the operating business alone.</p><p>Our approach to valuing the operating businesses centers around determining the true underlying earnings power of the business or "owner earnings." In the case of Alibaba, we will use Non-GAAP net income - which excludes amortization of intangibles, gains/losses in respect of investments and one-off non-recurring items such as fines - as our basis. Owner earnings in FY22 were around RMB 112 billion, equivalent to a price-to-earnings ratio of 9x for the operating businesses.</p><p>Due to the number of operating businesses and the limited information available in respect of each, we have not attempted to value each individually. Rather, we have applied high level assumptions at the group level to consider the implied potential returns under various hypothetical scenarios in reaching a conclusion on the attractiveness of the current valuation.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Assumptions</b></td><td><b>Lower</b></td><td><b>Mid</b></td><td><b>Upper</b></td></tr><tr><td>Net income growth</td><td>5%</td><td>7%</td><td>9%</td></tr><tr><td>Price-to-earnings multiple</td><td>12x</td><td>15x</td><td>18x</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The assumed growth in earnings of 3% at the lower end and 7% at the upper end are low by historical standards, with historical growth in adjusted net income of 18% in the period FY17-FY22. We also assume that the company has to retain and reinvest 75% of its earnings to achieve this modest growth in net earnings, which is high by historical standards and may well be a lot lower in practice. We also make no allowance for any growth in the value of the company's investment portfolio.</p><p>Even under these scenarios, which we feel provide for a significant margin of safety, the implied 10-year compound annual return ranges from 22% on the lower end to 34% on the higher end - a total return of between 5x and 16x in 10 years.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>There are two equally string but conflicting components when it comes to Alibaba as a prospective investment: the strength and prospects of the company's operating businesses versus the inherent uncertainty of investing in businesses with significant operations in China.</p><p>Where you come out on the balance between those two will ultimately determine whether you see it as an absolute bargain or a complete no-go. As long-term contrarian value investors, we feel the business strengths, discounted value, and prospective returns on offer are too attractive to ignore. For that reason, we consider it a "buy" and have allocated a significant proportion of our portfolio to it at the current price.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba: Fortunes Will Be Made</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAlibaba: Fortunes Will Be Made\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-22 11:59 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535761-alibaba-fortunes-will-be-made><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAlibaba is the ecommerce market leader in China and is investing strongly into new markets and territories.With Alibaba’s operating businesses currently trading at around 9 times at a time when...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535761-alibaba-fortunes-will-be-made\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4535761-alibaba-fortunes-will-be-made","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1137992204","content_text":"SummaryAlibaba is the ecommerce market leader in China and is investing strongly into new markets and territories.With Alibaba’s operating businesses currently trading at around 9 times at a time when margins are depressed, 30%+ annual compound returns over the next decade are possible.The decision to invest or not ultimately depends on where investors land on the perceived risks of investing in China.Whilst there are realistic risks, we think they are overblown and that long-term investors will do well by remaining rationally optimistic.At the current price, we rate the stock as a “Buy.” Should the current risks reduce or be resolved, we would consider it a “Strong Buy” at the current level.Our viewAlibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA,BABAF) is one of the most controversial companies when it comes to investor opinion. Many believe it is a great business at a bargain price, whilst others believe the risks mean it is untouchable, even at a significant discount.Putting the risks aside for a moment, there is a lot to love about Alibaba:the world's largest global e-commerce platform, bigger than Amazon (AMZN) and JD.com (JD) combined based on GMV;a Cloud computing business in China which is a leader in a market which is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years;a dominant position in China and an increasing presence across Southeast Asia meaning it is well placed to benefit from economic progress in the region; andstrong free cash flow and a solid balance sheet providing ample resources to continue to make strategic acquisitions and/or returns to shareholders.Alibaba's operating businesses currently trade at a multiple of around 9x owner earnings. And this is at a time when the company is in an investment phase, meaning margins are depressed and the true underlying earnings potential is underrepresented. Modest earnings growth combined with recovery in the valuation multiple could provide investors 30%+ annual returns over the next decade.Based on these metrics, it is difficult to disagree that the current price represents an attractive valuation. However, the investment decision ultimately relies on the conclusion investors reach on the likelihood and impact of the various potential risks materializing.When it comes to risks generally, investors can be guilty of ignoring them completely or assuming the worst-case scenario. In the case of Alibaba, we think the latter is true. Whilst there will inevitably be ongoing friction as the US learns to live in a world with a rising China, our view is that the world will ultimately continue to make progress and prosper over the long-term. We believe investors would do well by remaining rationally optimistic.Even if we put our optimistic worldview aside, we feel that some of the risks are overblown. Only 10% of the company's external revenue is generated through the regulated businesses held within the VIE structures, and this will only reduce as the company continues to diversify and expand internationally.As for the potential de-listing from the NYSE, we would hope that agreement can be reached to avert this eventually. However, in absence of cooperation on that issue, the company is pursuing a dual primary listing in Hong Kong which will provide investors with an alternative market in an internationally recognized financial center.Overall, we feel that the strength of its businesses combined with the significantly discounted valuation compensate for the actual severity and likelihood of the risks materializing. We think it is a clear \"Buy\" at the current valuation. Should these risks reduce or a long-term resolution be reached, we see reason to upgrade our rating to \"Strong Buy.\"With that being said, each investor must consider this in the context of their own investment objectives, risk tolerance and psychological resilience. Bargains are never found in times of comfort and stability. As value investors with a long-term horizon and a deeply contrarian nature, we believe will be handsomely rewarded for the long and potentially rocky journey ahead.An overview of AlibabaNote from author: This section provides a description of the major services and businesses which are within the Alibaba ecosystem. For those who are already familiar with the operations of Alibaba, we suggest that you skip to the following section.Alibaba is an e-commerce giant which serves 1.31 billion annual active consumers across the many platforms and businesses in the Alibaba Ecosystem. Total Gross Merchandise Value (\"GMV\") transacted in the Alibaba Ecosystem in FY22 was RMB 8.3 trillion ($1.3 trillion), making it the largest retail commerce business in the world, according to Analysys.Alibaba reports its business across a number of segments: China commerce, International commerce; Local consumer services; Cainiao; Cloud; Digital media and entertainment; and Innovation initiatives and others. We provide an overview of each below.China CommerceAlibaba Annual Report FY22Alibaba's China Commerce segment is primarily Taobao and Tmall. Together, these constitute the world's largest digital retail business in terms of GMV for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022, according to Analysys.TaobaoTaobao is the company's main commerce platform and is both the starting point and destination portal for many users' shopping journey. It allows individuals and small businesses to create online storefronts and product listings for free. Alibaba generates revenue through add-ons sold to sellers, such as analytics and marketing. As well as being a shopping platform itself, it acts as a funnel for other platforms in the Alibaba ecosystem.TmallTmall is the partner of choice for both domestic and International brands. The platform is essentially a virtual mall, allowing brands and retailers to operate their own unique storefronts. The platform has a wide range of brands, with 320,000 brands and merchants on Tmall, including over 80% of the consumer brands ranked in the Forbes Top 100 World's Most Valuable Brands for 2021. It is the largest third-party online and mobile commerce platform for brands and retailers in the world in terms of GMV, according to Analysys. The platform differs from Taobao in that it charges retailers and merchants fees for setting up stores and a share of ongoing GMV, in addition to offering value-add services.OtherThere are a host of other platforms and businesses which cater to various markets. These includeTaobao Deals - like Taoboao, but with a focus on value-for-money products;Taocaicai - a community marketplace that offers consumers next-day pick-up services for a wide range of groceries and fresh goods at neighborhood pick-up points;Tmall Supermarket - offers daily necessities, FMCG and general merchandise through Taobao app with same-or-next-day delivery services;Freshippo - a retail chain for groceries and fresh goods with over 200 stores offering 30-minute delivery to customers living within a three kilometer radius of the store; andSun Art - an online and physical hypermarket.AlimamaThe company monetizes its broad user base and insights into customer behaviors through its Alimama platform. Alimama offers paid marketing services to merchants, retailers and promoters allowing them to advertise across its many platforms. This marketing is not confined to the Alibaba ecosystem, with affiliate programs allowing its users to directly market to consumers on other platforms outside of Alibaba's.In addition to ads within the Alibaba ecosystem, the company offers wider distribution through the Taobao Ad Network and Exchange (\"TANX\"), one of the largest real-time online bidding marketing exchanges in China. TANX helps publishers to monetize their media inventories both on mobile apps and web properties, automating the buying and selling of tens of billions of marketing impressions on a daily basis.1688.comAlibaba's domestic wholesale business, 1688.com, is China's largest integrated domestic wholesale marketplace in 2021 by net revenue, according to Analysys. Wholesalers pay a fixed annual subscription to sell with no additional fees, but can pay for additional premium features such as data analytics and marketing etc. These additional services account for the vast majority of income from wholesaling.International CommerceAlibaba Annual Report FY22LazadaLazada is a leading and fast-growing e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and serves one of the largest user bases among the global e-commerce platforms. It caters to merchants of all sizes, from individuals to regional and global brands. Lazada also operates one of the leading e-commerce logistics networks in Southeast Asia, with the vast majority of Lazada's parcels going through its own facilities or first- and last-mile fleet.AliExpressAliExpress enables global consumers to buy directly from manufacturers and distributors in China and around the world. It is available in 18 languages and services consumers across many countries including the US and Europe.TrendyolTrendyol is a leading e-commerce platform in Turkey in terms of both GMV and order volume in 2021. It offers a large selection of products through e-commerce business as well as instant delivery services for food and groceries, as well as having its own fulfillment and logistics networks.Alibaba.comAlibaba.com is China's largest integrated international online wholesale marketplace in 2021 by revenue, according to Analysys, serving over 40 million buyers from over 190 countries in FY22. Like its domestic wholesaling counterpart, Alibaba generates the majority of the revenue through this platform for the additional value-add services it offers to merchants.Local Consumer ServicesCompany Annual Report FY22The company's local consumer services business is looking to expand its reach beyond products into consumer services, whether that is at home through its \"To Home\" businesses or on the go through its \"To Destination\" businesses.To HomeEle.me- a leading local services and on-demand delivery platform which enables consumers to order food and beverages, groceries, FMCG, flowers and pharmaceutical products anytime and anywhere.Fengniao Logistics - an on-demand delivery network which provides last-mile logistics services to orders placed through Ele.me as well as to other businesses in the Alibaba ecosystem including Freshippo, Sun Art, and Alibaba Health.Taoxianda - an online-offline integration service solution for FMCG brands and third-party grocery retail partners, facilitates the digitalization of retailers' operations.To-DestinationAmap - a leading provider of mobile digital map navigation and one-stop access point to services such as navigation, local services and ride-hailing. Amap technology underlies a range of apps both inside and outside of the Alibaba ecosystem, and the company provides map data and navigation software to international and domestic automotive companies.Fliggy - a leading online travel platform which provides comprehensive services to meet consumers' travel needs for airline and train tickets, accommodation, car rental, package tours and local attractions.Koubei - a restaurant and local services guide platform for in-store consumption, provides merchants with targeted marketing solutions, digital operation capabilities and analytics tools and allows consumers to discover local services content on the platform.CainiaoCainiao is a domestic and international one-stop shop for logistics services and supply chain management solutions, data insights and technology to digitalize the entire logistics process and enhance the capabilities of its logistics partners.It offers parcel pick-up services through a neighborhood logistics solution that operates a network of neighborhood, campus and rural village stations and residential self pick-up lockers. Consumers can also enjoy parcel pick-up at the doorstep and time-guaranteed delivery service through Cainiao.For merchants, Cainiao has built a full-fledged fulfillment network at provincial, city, and county levels in China, which offers customized fulfillment solutions to merchants across the Alibaba ecosystem. It has a network of assets and partners to support merchants on cross-border and international commerce retail platforms such as AliExpress and Lazada.CloudAlibaba Group is the world's third largest and Asia Pacific's largest Infrastructure-as-a-service (\"IaaS\") provider by revenue in 2021, according to Gartner's April 2022 report. It is also China's largest provider of public cloud services by revenue in 2021, including PaaS and IaaS services, according to IDC.Alibaba CloudAlibaba Cloud offers a complete suite of cloud services, including proprietary servers, elastic computing, storage, network, security, database and big data, and IoT services, serving our ecosystem and beyond. Alibaba Cloud offers computing services in 27 regions globally and served more than 60% of A-share listed companies in China in FY22. As digital transformation accelerates, customers from non-Internet industries have increased their usage of cloud services, with such revenue accounting for half of cloud computing revenue in FY22.DingTalkDingTalk is a digital collaboration workplace and application development platform that offers new ways of working, sharing and collaboration for modern enterprises and organizations and is the largest business efficiency mobile app in China by monthly active users in March 2022, according to QuestMobile.DingTalk provides a comprehensive suite of solutions for enterprise collaboration, including real-time communication, organizational management and various network collaboration tools such as data storage, calendars, workflow management and shared documents. Enterprises can also enjoy convenient access to a broad range of applications, including those offered by third-party service providers, that are seamlessly integrated with DingTalk's platform.Digital Media and EntertainmentCompany Annual Report FY22In line with the continued expansion into areas beyond product consumption, the group is looking to benefit from media consumption through its delivery platforms as well as through the production and distribution of its own and third-party content.The first of these platforms is Youku, the third largest online long-form video platform in China in terms of monthly active users in March 2022, according to QuestMobile. The second is Quark which helps young users gain access to a variety of digital content and information for learning and work purposes.The company also produces, promotes and distributes content through Alibaba Pictures. In 2022, eight movies released by Alibaba Pictures were among the top ten domestic movies in terms of ticket sales. The company also provides ticketing services for live events - concerts, plays, and sporting events - through Damai, and develops and distributes mobile games through Lingxi Games.InnovationIn 2019, Alibaba established the DAMO Academy, a global research program in cutting-edge technologies that aims to integrate and speed up knowledge exchange between science and industry. An example of the innovation is the proprietary L4 self-driving vehicle Xiaomanlv used by Cainiao, which has delivered over 10 million parcels within gated communities and university campuses.Its Tmall Genie product range provides a selection of internet-enabled smart home appliances, including smart speakers, lights and remote controls. The Tmall Genie smart speaker is a leading smart speaker in China in terms of sales units, and provides an interactive interface for our customers to easily access services offered by the company.InvestmentsIn addition to its operating businesses, Alibaba has a portfolio of equity (listed and private) and debt investments with a total value of RMB 239 billion as of 30 June 2022. The company also has a number of investments in which it holds a minority stake (\"equity investees\"). The most significant of these is the group's 33% stake in the Ant Group, the parent company of Alipay which provides substantially all of the payment processing and all of the escrow services on Alibaba marketplaces.Business reviewThe Alibaba GroupPrepared by author. Data from company annual reports.Despite its many operating businesses and international expansion, Alibaba is still predominantly a domestic e-commerce business in China. In FY22, China commerce - which include the company's domestic retail and wholesale businesses - accounted for almost 80% of the group's revenue. The next largest segments are Cloud (8% of revenue) and International Commerce (7% of revenue). We consider the performance of these three key segments below.China CommercePrepared by author. Data from company annual reports.The e-commerce businesses in China continue to grow albeit at a slower rate, with growth slowing from 45% in FY21 to 18% in FY22. The company's main ecommerce platforms in China - Taobao and Tmall - have seen their revenue growth slow to low-single digits in FY22, with the majority of revenue growth now being driven by the growth of the company's direct sales businesses - Tmall Supermarket and SunArt.This expansion into direct sales (i.e. traditional retailing) is unlocking new areas for growth, but at the cost of significantly lower margins. The company has also increased investment in its platforms and increased spending for user growth and on merchant support, further depressing margins.As a result, EBITA margin has declined from 50% in FY20 to around 30% in FY22, offsetting the impact of the growth in revenue. The company expects margins to continue to be affected by this trend as direct sales account for an increasing share of revenue.Please note: The EBITA reported by management excludes share-based compensation expenses. While we understand that it can be a useful metric on this basis, we have adjusted it to include the share-based compensation expense as this is a true cost to the company. Any reference to EBITA throughout this article is on that basis.CloudPrepared by author. Data from company annual reports.The trend of slowing growth is not confined to ecommerce, with the Cloud segment also seeing growth slow to 25% in FY22. The slowing growth was due to the loss of a significant customer as well as slowing demand from customers in China's internet industry.The slowdown in FY22 follows a year where revenue grew by a little over 50% and has grown by 85% since in the past 2 years. In addition, excluding the impact of the customer loss, the underlying business actually grew by 29%.The continued top-line growth is contributing to improving operating margins, albeit the Cloud business remains loss making. If share awards are excluded, however, Cloud has actually grown beyond its break-even point generating an EBITA margin of 2% in FY22. Due to the operational leverage of these types of businesses, further top line growth should start to result in improving margins.International CommercePrepared by author. Data from Company Annual Report.The theme in International commerce is similar. Revenue growth slowed to 25% in FY22, following a strong FY21 which saw revenue grow by 44%. The slowdown has in part been due to various headwinds faced by AliExpress and Trendyol, which have been key growth drivers of growth in recent years.Trendyol has been affected by high inflation in Turkey and the weakened Turkish Lira, whilst AliExpress sales have been affected by the removal of the EU VAT exemption for low value foreign imports. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has also resulted in supply chain and logistics disruptions.The International commerce segment as a whole continues to be loss making, with the profits from the wholesaling business not enough to outweigh the losses from the retail side. The loss actually increased in FY22 due to increased promotional spend and user acquisition costs in respect of Lazada and the cost of investments in Trendyol at a time when it is suffering from the economic situation.The \"ecosystem\"Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.Whilst Alibaba operates numerous individual platforms, they all combine to create the \"Alibaba ecosystem.\" At first glance, Alibaba operates a profitable e-commerce business in China which it uses to subsidize a host of other unprofitable ventures. However, it is too simplistic to look at Alibaba in this way.Businesses which are currently loss-making, may still contribute positively to the overall strength and profitability of the wider ecosystem. The more services and platforms the company has, the greater the network effects and switching costs become for consumers and merchants.Not providing such services could result in a loss of consumers and merchants to competitors, where the long-term impact would be greater than the cost of offering the service at a loss. On the other hand, if any loss-making business is not beneficial to the rest of the ecosystem, we would expect that it ultimately be wound down or disposed of.Many of the loss-making businesses were also only acquired or started in recent years and have yet to reach a critical mass. Take the Cloud business, for example. This is a business which requires a lot of investment and has a largely fixed cost base, meaning it needs to reach a certain size to break-even. Any growth beyond that should be rewarded with very high margins.Prepared by author. Data from company annual reports.Looking at the Alibaba group as a whole, the theme of strong but slowing growth holds true. Again, it is important to view this in the context of the group growing its top line more than 5 times since 2017 - equivalent to a compound annual growth rate of 32%.Since 2017, growth has come at the expense of profitability, with EBITA margins falling from almost 40% to less than 15% in FY22. If this decline in profitability had occurred whilst the operations of the group had remained constant, then we would see it as reason to be concerned. However, the key reason for the declining margins is the company's expansion which will form the basis for the company's future growth.Whilst some of the decline in margin is structural as a result of expansion into lower margin business such as traditional retail and logistics, we do expect margins to improve as the company continues to grow and its businesses benefit from advantages of scale.Any management team which is willing to put long-term success ahead of short-term profitability should be commended. The culture at Alibaba appears to be geared towards this. The legal structure - which essentially gives shareholders zero control over the management of the company - also means management is less likely to be concerned by the short-term demands of the market or shareholders.The overall profitability of Alibaba is not solely dependent on its operating businesses. Significant fluctuations in the company's investment portfolio can also have a significant impact on net income. In both FY20 and FY21, the company recognized gains of over RMB 70 billion, equivalent to more than 90% of the company's operating income in each of those years. However, in FY22, the value of the company's listed portfolio declined by over RMB 15 billion - wiping out almost 25% of the company's operating income.The performance of equity method investees - particularly Ant Group - can also materially impact overall profitability. Alibaba's share of profits from equity investees has improved from a loss of RMB 5 billion in FY20 to a gain of RMB 14 billion in FY22. Performance in FY22 was boosted by gains in investments recognized by Ant Group rather than improvements in the underlying business, meaning future profits may not be so high.Overall, adjusted net income - which excludes changes in the value of investments described above, as well as certain one-off or non-cash costs - has been broadly flat in the three years through FY22 in the range of RMB 100 billion to RMB 120 billion.Cash flowPrepared by author. Data from company annual reports.Essentially all of the company's net income translates into free cash which can be used to fund acquisitions or returns to shareholders.In the three years through FY22, the company has generated over RMB 400 million in free cash flows. The main use for this cash flow has been acquisitions, with the company investing around 50% of its cumulative free cash flow on new or additional investment in equities, business combinations or non-wholly owned subsidiaries.The company does not and has never paid any dividend, but does have a share repurchase program of up to $25 billion (RMB 103 billion). As of 30 June 2022, there is a further $12 billion (RMB 81 billion) still to be completed by 2024, equivalent to around 5% of outstanding shares at the current price.The strong cash generation of the business is reflected on its balance sheet, with a net cash position of RMB 378 billion as of 30 June 2022.Note: TheFCF metric reported by management excludes the acquisition of land use rights and construction in progress relating to office campuses. Whilst these do not relate directly to the revenue-generating segments, they are still a true cash outflow from an investor's perspective. As such, we have adjusted management's FCF metric to include these outflows.Q1 FY23 Trading UpdatePrepared by author. Data from Q1 FY23 trading update.On 4 August 2022, the company released their results for the first quarter of FY23. A further slowdown with revenue flat on the same period in the prior, albeit management reported that a slow April and May had been offset but a recovery in June.China commerce revenue fell by 1% as GMV fell by a single-digit percentage and order cancellations increased as a result of the Covid-19 resurgence. This was partially offset by modest single digit growth in International commerce, Local consumer services and Cainiao. Cloud was the stand-out performer with revenue up 10% on the prior year. Despite stable revenues, earnings of the operating business were down by almost 20% as EBITA margins fell from 17% to 11%.RisksRegulationThe company operates a number of businesses in which foreign ownership or investment is restricted or prohibited. To ensure the company remains compliant, the businesses which are subject to these restrictions are carved out in separate legal entities which are not owned directly or indirectly by Alibaba, with control and economic benefit provided by way of contracts. Should the law (or interpretation thereof) change, there is a risk that Alibaba could be required to sell or cease operations in some of its businesses in China.De-listingThere is a conflict between what the PCAOB in the US requires of auditors of US-listed companies and what auditors in China are allowed to disclose under Chinese law. Without cooperation on this issue, Alibaba may be prohibited from trading on the NYSE or other U.S. stock exchange by 2024 under current laws.SEC investigationIn early 2016, the SEC initiated an investigation into whether the company has violated any federal securities laws in relation to its accounting practices. The investigation is ongoing and it is unclear what, if any, consequences the company could face.OutlookManagement does not provide any medium-term guidance or targets in respect of the company's financial performance. However, its growth strategy revolves around the following three key trends.ConsumptionConsumption is a key driver of company performance. With the 1 billion active users on its e-commerce platforms in China, the company already has deep penetration of the domestic market. However, there is scope to grow through further penetration of less developed regions and capturing a larger proportion of existing users' spending.DigitalizationDigitalization of the economy, particularly through cloud computing, represents a huge area of new business opportunity. China's cloud computing industry is still at a nascent stage of development and is forecast to increase by 400% by 2025.GlobalizationThe company also hopes to capitalize on globalization. The initial focus is on expansion in Southeast Asia, through localized and cross-border offerings. Alibaba is already the largest IaaS service provider in Asia Pacific, and it continues to expand its international cloud infrastructure, with data centers in 27 regions globally, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.ValuationAlibaba has two major components to it: its operating businesses (including its subsidiaries, VIEs and equity method investees) and its investment portfolio.As of 16 August 2022, the company's ADRs (equivalent to 8 ordinary shares) trade at around $92, giving a total market capitalization of c.$244 billion (RMB 1,653 billion). Excluding the company's significant net cash position (including short-term investments) of RMB 453 billion and its investment portfolio with a value of RMB 234 billion, this implies a valuation of RMB 966 billion for the operating business alone.Our approach to valuing the operating businesses centers around determining the true underlying earnings power of the business or \"owner earnings.\" In the case of Alibaba, we will use Non-GAAP net income - which excludes amortization of intangibles, gains/losses in respect of investments and one-off non-recurring items such as fines - as our basis. Owner earnings in FY22 were around RMB 112 billion, equivalent to a price-to-earnings ratio of 9x for the operating businesses.Due to the number of operating businesses and the limited information available in respect of each, we have not attempted to value each individually. Rather, we have applied high level assumptions at the group level to consider the implied potential returns under various hypothetical scenarios in reaching a conclusion on the attractiveness of the current valuation.AssumptionsLowerMidUpperNet income growth5%7%9%Price-to-earnings multiple12x15x18xThe assumed growth in earnings of 3% at the lower end and 7% at the upper end are low by historical standards, with historical growth in adjusted net income of 18% in the period FY17-FY22. We also assume that the company has to retain and reinvest 75% of its earnings to achieve this modest growth in net earnings, which is high by historical standards and may well be a lot lower in practice. We also make no allowance for any growth in the value of the company's investment portfolio.Even under these scenarios, which we feel provide for a significant margin of safety, the implied 10-year compound annual return ranges from 22% on the lower end to 34% on the higher end - a total return of between 5x and 16x in 10 years.ConclusionThere are two equally string but conflicting components when it comes to Alibaba as a prospective investment: the strength and prospects of the company's operating businesses versus the inherent uncertainty of investing in businesses with significant operations in China.Where you come out on the balance between those two will ultimately determine whether you see it as an absolute bargain or a complete no-go. As long-term contrarian value investors, we feel the business strengths, discounted value, and prospective returns on offer are too attractive to ignore. For that reason, we consider it a \"buy\" and have allocated a significant proportion of our portfolio to it at the current price.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BABA":0.9,"09988":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3014,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9071961894,"gmtCreate":1657457066018,"gmtModify":1676536009759,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Happy] ","listText":"[Happy] ","text":"[Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9071961894","repostId":"1106047228","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106047228","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1657425768,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106047228?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-10 12:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Should Beat June Quarter Expectations but Guide for September Could Disappoint, Says Analyst","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106047228","media":"TipRanks","summary":"It’s that time again.

Wall Street’s quarterly earnings show is getting underway and before the month is out, Apple (AAPL)is expected deliver its fiscal third quarter report (June quarter, scheduled for July 28).While investor concerns mostly center on the effect of high inflation and iPhone demand, Evercore’s Amit Daryanani believes that despite data points skewing to the negative – these include weak Chinese smartphone data (-9%), App Store growth slowing down to ~4%, and companies such as Micron noting “weakness” in smartphone/PC demand – AAPL has provided a conservative enough guide which will allow for another beat (although possibly a more modest one compared to prior ones) in the June quarter.The Street is looking for ~1.4% growth, a display Daryanani believes should not be difficult to meet. While Apple did not give revenue guidance for the quarter, the company did suggest the quarter’s growth rate would have mirrored the March quarter (+9%), if not for several headwinds including an FX hit to the tune of 300bps, 150bps from Russia, and $4-$8 billion in supply constraints.However, the analyst notes that Apple has “tended to overestimate supply headwinds over the past few quarters,” and therefore believes it is possible the supply and FX issues are “less severe than Apple assumed.”That said, all eyes will be on the September quarter guide and here Daryanani is not quite so confident. Due to the “challenging f/x environment and evolving macro situation,” Daryanani thinks there’s potential for the September quarter guide to “qualitatively be below current expectations.”As such, while the analyst has made no changes to the June quarter forecast, the September quarter estimates are lowered to revenue/EPS of $88 billion/$1.28, respectively. Both are below Street expectations, which stand at $90.3 billion/$1.32.“Net/net,” Daryanani summed up, “we are relatively neutral this quarter as we think Apple is contending with numerous headwinds, but these risks should be adequately understood and reflected in expectations.”To this end, Daryanani maintains an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating along with a $180 price target. The implication for investors? Upside of 22% from current levels.28 analysts have posted AAPL reviews during the past 3 months, which break down as 22 to 6 in favor of Buys over Holds, and all coalesce to a Strong Buy consensus view. Given the average price target clocks in at $185.05, the shares are expected to appreciate ~26% over the next 12 months.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9045777589,"gmtCreate":1656666477741,"gmtModify":1676535874081,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Cry] [Cry] ","listText":"[Cry] [Cry] ","text":"[Cry] [Cry]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9045777589","repostId":"1156924062","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1156924062","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1656662908,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156924062?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-01 16:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"TSMC Shares Slipped 4.15% as Major Clients Scale Back Orders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156924062","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"TSMC shares slipped 4.15% as major clients like Apple, Nvidia and AMD scale back orders.TSMC has see","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>TSMC shares slipped 4.15% as major clients like Apple, Nvidia and AMD scale back orders.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e13a61955f6c0c71a4e5c6c2ed916a7\" tg-width=\"829\" tg-height=\"822\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>TSMC has seen its major clients adjust downward their chip orders for the rest of 2022, which may prompt the pure-play foundry to cut its revenue outlook for 2022, according to industry sources.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The offer represents a 61% premium to 2U’s closing price of $9.30 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday and gives the Lanham, Maryland-based company an enterprise value of about $2 billion.Byju’s, one of the world’s most valuable startups with backing from Tiger Global Management and Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, is accelerating its expansion globally through acquisitions. Bloomberg reported in May that Byju’s was likely to bid for either 2U or Chegg Inc. Talks with Santa Clara, California-based Chegg haven’t progressed, the person said.The talks with 2U could still fall apart and a deal may not materialize if its board rejects the offer. 2U has a current market value of $717 million and about $1 billion in debt and other liabilities. A representative for 2U declined to comment. Byju’s and Chegg didn’t respond to requests for comment.Byju’s has secured financing of more than $2.4 billion for whichever deal it finally pursues as it looks to step up its growth and global expansion, said the person. While debt financing is more expensive than just three months ago, assets are cheaper and deals are still looking attractive, the person said. Shares of 2U have declined more than 80% since a peak of $55.55 in early 2021.Meanwhile, Byju’s is pushing back payments for an approximately $1 billion acquisition of test-preparation provider Aakash Educational Services struck last year, according to people familiar with the matter. Byju’s asked to postpone the payments until late August because regulators have yet to clear the acquisition, said one of the people, adding that it had nothing to do with cash shortages. Aakash’s shareholders agreed to the extension, the person said.Byju’s is India’s most valuable startup, with a valuation of $22 billion, according to the market researcher CB Insights. The edtech pioneer, formally known as Think & Learn Pvt, has about 115 million students using its online learning platform, with 7 million of them paying annual subscriptions. Its backers also include Silver Lake Management, Naspers Ltd., and Mary Meeker’s Bond Capital.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9065681857,"gmtCreate":1652187654879,"gmtModify":1676535047845,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Try try","listText":"Try try","text":"Try try","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9065681857","repostId":"1118756223","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118756223","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652184862,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1118756223?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-10 20:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 of the Top Growth Stocks on Earth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118756223","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"KEY POINTSNvidia grew its sales by 53%, while Tesla's sales grew 81% year over year in the latest qu","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSNvidia grew its sales by 53%, while Tesla's sales grew 81% year over year in the latest quarter.Enphase Energy is expected to grow its earnings at an average rate of 39% over the next few ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/10/3-of-the-top-growing-stocks-on-earth/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Often, such stocks trade at apremium valuation. However, they still offer the potential to generate handsome returns in the long run.Let's look at three such companies --Nvidia, Tesla, and Enphase Energy-- that are not only growing fast but are expected to continue doing so in the coming years.Strong revenue growthNvidia's quarterly revenue grew at an average quarterly year-over-year rate of 35% over the last five years. In fiscal 2022's fourth quarter (ended Jan. 30), the company's revenue grew 53% year over year. A global semiconductor shortage, coupled with increased demand from areas such as artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, robotics, virtual reality, and themetaverse, is contributing to Nvidia's exceptional growth.Similarly, Tesla's recent growth has been phenomenal. The electric vehicle leader grew its quarterly sales at an average year-over-year rate of 54% in the last five years. In the first quarter, the company's sales grew 81% year over year.Likewise, solar microinverter manufacturer Enphase Energy's revenue grew at an average rate of 46% over five years. Further, in thelatest quarter, the revenue growth was close to this average rate.Solid expected growthWhile it is important to monitor historical growth, it is more important to see if a company can sustain the growth level in the future. The three companies seem to be well placed to do so.Analysts expect Nvidia's quarterly revenue to rise to $9.3 billion for the company's fiscal quarter ending Jan. 30, 2023, from $7.6 billion in the last quarter.Likewise, Tesla's quarterly revenue is expected to rise to $28.2 billion, while Enphase Energy's revenue is expected to reach $597.6 million in Q1 2023.Analysts also expect the three companies to grow their earnings impressively. Nvidia is expected to grow its per-share earnings at an average rate of around 25% over the next three to five years. Similarly, Enphase Energy is expected to grow earnings at an average rate of 39%, while Tesla's average growth rate is estimated to be 43%.Demand for electric vehicles exceeds supply right now. Although legacy car companies are expanding their offerings in the electric segment, Tesla seems to havean edge over the competitionin terms of demand for its cars, ability to expand its production capacity and securing the necessary input parts and materials.Similarly, Nvidia'sleadership positionin the graphic processing unit market and its partnerships with leading computer makers and cloud service providers give the company a competitive advantage. Likewise, Enphase's microinverters see huge demand, thanks to the benefits they offer over other inverter options.Overall, the three stocks look well placed to maintain their strong growth in the coming years as well.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSLA":0.9,"ENPH":0.9,"NVDA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1941,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9065681131,"gmtCreate":1652187631923,"gmtModify":1676535047838,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go go","listText":"Go go","text":"Go go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9065681131","repostId":"1118756223","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1118756223","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1652184862,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1118756223?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-10 20:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 of the Top Growth Stocks on Earth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118756223","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"KEY POINTSNvidia grew its sales by 53%, while Tesla's sales grew 81% year over year in the latest qu","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSNvidia grew its sales by 53%, while Tesla's sales grew 81% year over year in the latest quarter.Enphase Energy is expected to grow its earnings at an average rate of 39% over the next few ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/10/3-of-the-top-growing-stocks-on-earth/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Likewise, Enphase's microinverters see huge demand, thanks to the benefits they offer over other inverter options.Overall, the three stocks look well placed to maintain their strong growth in the coming years as well.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSLA":0.9,"ENPH":0.9,"NVDA":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2073,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9065683434,"gmtCreate":1652187589028,"gmtModify":1676535047829,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go go","listText":"Go go","text":"Go go","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9065683434","repostId":"2234698917","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2088,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9065683883,"gmtCreate":1652187559742,"gmtModify":1676535047806,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Great] [shy] [Great] [shy] ","listText":"[Great] [shy] [Great] [shy] ","text":"[Great] [shy] [Great] [shy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9065683883","repostId":"2234698917","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2603,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9066959253,"gmtCreate":1651842691972,"gmtModify":1676534981844,"author":{"id":"4109933328497822","authorId":"4109933328497822","name":"limjohn22","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4109933328497822","idStr":"4109933328497822"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Great] [Great] ","listText":"[Great] [Great] ","text":"[Great] [Great]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9066959253","repostId":"2233330483","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2233330483","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1651838945,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2233330483?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-06 20:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is It Safer to Pull Your Money Out of the Stock Market or Keep Investing for Now?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2233330483","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Time in the market is important.","content":"<div>\n<p>It can be nerve-wracking to watch your portfolio consistently drop during bear market periods.

After all, nobody likes losing money; that goes against the whole purpose of investing. However, pulling your money out of the stock market during down periods can often do more harm than good in the long term. Here's why you should keep investing during such periods.Image source: Getty Images.Use down periods to lower your cost basisAlthough nobody likes seeing their investments decline in price, it can actually be a good opportunity for long-term investors because it's a chance to lower your cost basis. Your cost basis essentially tells you the average price you paid per share for a particular company. If you bought 10 shares of a company at $100 each, your cost basis would be $100. If the stock's price dropped to $80 and you purchased 10 more shares, your new cost basis would be $90 ($1,800 spent / 20 shares owned).Lowering your cost basis is valuable because it increases your profit whenever you eventually sell your shares. Imagine you own 20 shares with a $90 cost basis, and someone else also owns 20 shares of the same company but with a $100 cost basis. If that stock's price increases to $150 and you both sell, you would have profited $1,200, and they would have profited $1,000.Although you both own the same number of shares, your profits are higher because you were able to lower your cost basis.If you're investing in sound businesses, don't panic over short-term drops in price; consider it a blessing in disguise and put yourself in a better long-term position.Time in the market is important\"Time in the market is better than timing the market\" is an investing saying that has stood the test of time -- and it's one investors should always keep in mind. On one end, it points to how timing the market is virtually impossible to do consistently long term. It also speaks to the power of time in the market -- especially regarding dividends.Companies pay out dividends to reward their shareholders for holding on to their investments. If you're investing in dividend-paying companies (preferably Dividend Aristocrats or Dividend Kings, which also have stood the test of time), you're doing yourself a disservice if you pull your money out due to drops in the market.If you have $10,000 invested in a company or fund with a 3% annual dividend yield, you can expect to receive $300 in dividends each year. If the stock's price is rising, you can expect that dividend payout; if the stock's price is dropping, you can expect that dividend payout. The company's stock price shouldn't be your only focus as long as it manages to keep paying out dividends.If you panic sell because the stock is dropping, you essentially remove an income source that could prove to be key to your return on investment. If the stock price drops and the value of your investment loses $200 in a year, but you made $300 from dividends, you still came out positive.Don't be an emotional investorAs an investor, it's easy to get too high on the highs and too low on the lows in the short term. One of the best ways to remove some emotions from investing is applying dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging involves making consistent investments at regular intervals, no matter what the stock price is at the time. It's how 401(k) plans operate; no matter the cost of the investments, you contribute your designated amount each pay period.Focusing on the end goal and ignoring the short-term volatility can make investing less stressful and can help prevent you from making emotional decisions that may go against your best long-term interest. Keep your eyes on the prize.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".DJI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1272,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
