3 Chinese technology stocks forecast 2025: JD PDD and BZUN

Forget Alibaba(BABA)!  These 3 Chinese technology stocks are more worth buying

     Hello everyone, Alibaba is China's largest e-commerce and cloud company. From January to late May, Alibaba's market value has shrunk by nearly 10%, lagging behind many peers.  Antitrust investigations in China, stricter auditing standards in the United States, and funding from growth stocks to value stocks have all dragged down Alibaba's stock price.

     Alibaba’s stock is trading at an expected price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times, which may seem cheap, but analysts still expect Alibaba’s earnings to fall by 3% this year because it has absorbed a record US$2.75 billion in antitrust fines.  It also needs to stop exclusive deals with big brands, which may weaken the company's defenses against smaller e-commerce markets.

     But this is not all. Alibaba may be forced to divest media assets and share user data with the government, and the group's financial technology subsidiary Ant Group, as a financial holding company, will be subject to stricter supervision.  Alibaba may be able to withstand all these headwinds and recover for a long time, but the company's stock may still be dead money in the foreseeable future.

    Investors should not bet that Alibaba may make a comeback, but should consider buying Chinese technology stocks that are not under supervision.  These three e-commerce companies meet the requirements: JD.com, Pinduoduo, and Baozun.

    1. JD.com(JD)

    JD is the second largest e-commerce company in China after Alibaba.  However, it is actually the largest direct retailer in the country because most of its revenue comes from the company's first-party market.

     Unlike Alibaba, most of Alibaba's e-commerce revenue comes from third-party sellers on Taobao and Tmall. Jingdong is responsible for inventory and fulfills orders through its own logistics network.  This business model is more capital intensive, but it can protect buyers from counterfeit products.

     Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma once said that JD.com’s low-profit business model will end in "tragedy", but economies of scale gradually come into play to enable JD.com to generate sustained profits.  JD’s logistics department also balances costs by providing services to third-party customers.

     In 2020, JD’s revenue and adjusted profit increased by 29% and 57%, respectively.  The company has nearly 500 million active consumers in the first quarter of this year, and analysts expect JD.com's revenue and profit to grow by 26% and 13% respectively this year.

    JD.com is not facing regulatory heat like Alibaba. Its profit margin is expanding. The expected price-to-earnings ratio is only 28 times and the market-to-sales ratio is less than 1 time.

   2. Pinduoduo(PDD)

     Pinduoduo is the third-largest e-commerce company in China, but in terms of total shoppers, it is actually bigger than JD.com, with 628 million active buyers every year.  Like Alibaba, Pinduoduo generates most of its revenue through third-party merchant listing fees and advertising.

    Pinduoduo has opened up a niche market in the discount market, encouraging shoppers to form groups to enjoy group discounts.  This strategy relies heavily on users to share links on social networks and is popular in low-end cities in China.

    Pinduoduo subsequently expanded to China's top cities and cooperated with big brands to challenge Alibaba and JD.com.  It has also gained a first-mover advantage in online agriculture by helping 12 million farmers ship products directly to customers.

    Pinduoduo's revenue surged 97% in 2020 and then increased by 239% in the first quarter of 2021.  Analysts predict that the company's full-year revenue will grow by 92%.  For a stock that trades at 8 times this year's market-to-sales ratio, these estimates are impressive.

     Pinduoduo is still unprofitable because of aggressive discounts, subsidies for sellers, and the company's logistics network expansion.  However, the company's adjusted operating and net losses narrowed year-on-year in the last quarter. As the scale expands, the company may gradually become profitable.

   3. Baozun e-commerce(BZUN)

     Baozun is sometimes referred to as the "Shopify of China", but this comparison is misleading.  Unlike Shopify, which provides self-service e-commerce services for small businesses, Baozun mainly provides end-to-end e-commerce solutions for large international companies.

     For large American companies, it may be difficult to establish a Chinese website, carry out marketing activities, and establish an e-commerce market, so Baozun is a "one-stop" store that can meet all these needs.  It also helped companies integrate their online marketplaces with Tmall, JD.com, and Pinduoduo, which enabled Baozun to play a balancing role in China's booming e-commerce sector.

  Baozun’s business model is capital-intensive, but in recent years, it has shifted from a “distribution-based” model of direct fulfillment of orders to a “non-distribution”-based model, thereby expanding profit margins and allowing Baozun’s customers to directly sell products.  Ship to their customers.

     Baozun’s 2020 revenue and adjusted earnings will grow by 22% and 50%, respectively.  92% of the company's website transaction value comes from a non-distribution business.  Analysts expect the company's revenue and adjusted earnings to grow by 35% and 5% respectively this year.

     This often-overlooked stock has a price-to-earnings ratio of only 19 times and a price-to-sales ratio of 1.5 times this year. If investors fall in love with Chinese technology companies again, this may make it an undervalued growth stock.  The above analysis is only a personal opinion and does not constitute any investment advice. The stock market is risky and investment needs to be cautious.

What is a spac stock in the Investment market?

Let me talk about SPAC first.  SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) means "Special Purpose Acquisition Company", also known as "Blank Check" or "Shell Company".  As the name suggests, this company has no actual business, and its essence is a financial innovation tool that provides companies with listing services.  More simply, SPAC is a shell resource company established by professional institutions such as investment banks and fund companies as promoters.  The sole purpose of this company's listing is to find the target company, through reverse mergers and acquisitions, to achieve the target company's listing and financing.  Most people pay attention to SPAC from 2020, but in fact, SPAC is nothing new.  The SPAC structure was first born in the 1990s and was pioneered by David Nabers, who worked for the Wall Street investment bank GKN.  However, in the past few decades, compared with traditional IPOs, the number of SPACs is very limited, and ...

How to judge the diffusive horn pattern ?

As an investment trader, you must understand the use of chart technology analysis to determine the position of market transactions. Now let's talk about a common pattern in chart technical analysis, which is the diffuse speaker pattern.

The era of negative US interest rates coming?

Recently, the US Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates and US stocks fell sharply. Most investors believe that the ten-year bull market for US stocks has ended. In terms of the US dollar index, after a period of decline, the US dollar index rebounded sharply, indicating that risk aversion was high, and market funds were flowing to the US dollar to hedge. The Fed ’s interest rate cuts have not saved the US stock market. The Fed ’s interest rates are now very low. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates in the future, the United States will soon enter the era of negative interest rates. Take Europe and Japan as examples. Negative interest rates have not restored the country ’s economy. The future economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. The reason for the negative interest rate is that the investment must be profitable, otherwise, it will not be invested. If the profit is low or loss, the investor will directly deposit the profit to the bank. When socia...

AMZN stock forecast 2025: Amazon's main advantages

  On July 6, after the US stock market opened, Amazon broke through $3,600, a record high.  Amazon has been oscillating between 3000-3500 US dollars in the past year, and the stock price finally broke through.  Amazon is a stock that has a high valuation from PE but is seriously undervalued by the market from the perspective of its development prospects.

The relationship between Dow theory and the stock market!

Many technical analyses, such as morphological analysis and wave theory, use the Dow theory as the basis for the evolution of original technical analysis. Let's talk about the relationship between the Dow theory and today's stock market. Starting from the three most widely known theorems, theorems, market behavior is inclusive and digestive, market behavior follows the trend, and history will repeat itself. Among these three theorems, there are many Charles investment ideas, which can also be said to be the backbone of technical analysis. Charles' first theorem hoped that the market was originally a gathering place for hundreds of news. For example, Jun A believes that a country's civil war and unstable economy caused it to sell the shares of local companies; Jun B learned that the local companies will still have considerable profitability next year, so he bought the shares of local companies; Jun received a third different message and made an investment decision and...
