I'm adding Alibaba and JD.com to my radar, as I expect both Chinese players should fare better in a post-Beijing Stimulus plan China. Combined, both companies hold +69% of China's e-commerce market. I expect them to benefit from a long-awaited macro recovery and higher consumer confidence and spend it'll bring. Alibaba's international presence and cloud computing advancements give it a better long-term edge over JD.com, but I remain a buy on both stocks.

Despite a 70% y/y drop in free cash flow due to heavy investments across its core businesses, Alibaba's robust financial foundation supports ongoing stock buybacks.

Why Chinese Stocks May Be Ready to Take Off

Alibaba Group Holding Limited's fiscal Q2 earnings report showed better-than-expected EPS and YOY growth across all segments. However, the most encouraging sign in my view is the improving inventory data. The data indicates that the worst might be over for BABA, with stronger sales cycles and better cash flow ahead.

Here's Why Alibaba (BABA) is a Strong Value Stock

I am upgrading Alibaba to a "strong buy" due to stable quarterly earnings figures and Chinese government stimulus measures aimed at boosting economic growth. Alibaba's net income surged 58% annually, driven by equity investments, while cloud segment revenues grew 7%, showing strength in AI and cloud services. Despite mixed earnings, Alibaba's valuation metrics, particularly price-book ratio, indicate it remains attractively valued compared to industry peers.

Alibaba's Monetization Strategy Gains Momentum, But GMV Growth Lags: Analyst

Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) is reportedly planning to raise $5 billion through the issue of a range of dollar and offshore Chinese yuan bonds. The Chinese e-commerce giant firmed up plans for a bond issue on Monday, with Reuters-cited sources adding this would aim to raise $5 billion.

Alibaba planning $5bn bond issue to repay debt

Once a dominant tech giant, Alibaba Group struggles with a stagnating business and lacks clear growth engines, all while political risk remains ever-present and management has no ideas beyond share repurchases. Alibaba's revenue and operating income have grown just 5% year-over-year, with key platforms like Taobao and Tmall continuing to underperform severely. Alibaba Cloud is growing at just 7%, well below the industry average and AWS's 18%. I believe geopolitical tensions are deterring private customers from choosing a Chinese player.
