3 Chinese technology stocks forecast 2025: JD PDD and BZUN

 JD

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. Diffusion horn patterns are different from trend patterns and horizontal patterns.  Diffusion horn patterns are more difficult to judge than trend patterns and horizontal patterns, and often cause losses to investment traders. So, how do investment traders judge the spreading horn pattern and make favorable investment transactions? S&P500 Index The price trend of the diffusive horn pattern.  When the price rises over some time, then the price falls, and falls below the recent low, then rises, and rises through the last high.

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. It is one of my favorite technology stocks.  Amazon's main advantages are:  1. Amazon's current GMV is only half that of Alibaba.  Looking at the current penetration rate of e-commerce in China and the future penetration rate of e-commerce in the United States, we will find that Amazon e-commerce has huge growth potential in the United States.  Amazon e-commerce is far from saturated in the United States.  2. Cloud computing has unlimited potential.  As the industry leader, Amazon's cloud computing can maintain a growth rate of 20%-30% for many years in the future.  3. The international ...

Can Apple(AAPL) icar end the dominance of Tesla(TSLA)?

Beginning in 2014, Apple started a plan for electric vehicles developed by "Project Titan". In the Apple electric car project, in the past few years, internal conflicts, leadership issues, and other issues have affected the entire project. The rumors in 2016 even hinted that Apple had shelved plans for the car, but Apple has overcome the development difficulties and still plans to develop consumers Car, The Apple car project has changed the leadership many times, and hundreds of employees have been laid off during the development process. In the past few years, there have been rumors that Apple has shifted its focus to autonomous driving software instead of just a car. In June 2017, Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly talked about Apple’s work on autonomous driving software, which rarely confirmed Apple’s development work, because Apple usually does not share the details it is studying, but when it comes to cars When it comes to software, due to legal restrictions, it has to apply fo...

ASML stock forecast 2025: is it time to buy now?

Hello everyone, recently, because the market has a lot of fears about rising interest rates and shrinking the balance sheet, the Nasdaq as a whole has fallen a lot, and each support has basically been broken one after another. The general price has also broken, so there is no good signal to increase positions in the short term. It may be safer to hold cash first and wait until the decline begins to slow down a little or see a really cost-effective price before considering adding positions. However, the long-term bull market in the future will not end because of this year's interest rate hike, and cash will only become more and more worthless in the long run. In the short-term continuous decline of the stock market, we must put our minds in a positive state. At the same time, we must properly organize our thoughts and positions, prepare bullets, and use this time to do our homework for the stocks we are interested in. In this way, when a good price appears in the future, you will be...

ROKU stock forecast 2025: worth holding for a long time

1.The Roku Channel (TRC).  The Roku Channel (TRC) will be a huge driving force for the company's growth. I think the market has not yet realized the huge potential of TRC. Currently, TRC is watched by 70 million people, which has doubled from last year. The growth rate is astonishing. Therefore, the ability of advertising monetization is getting stronger and stronger.   ROKU mentioned in the Q1 quarterly report that if content providers promote their subscriptions in TRC, the effect will be twice as good as just on the ROKU platform. This fully shows the extremely strong marketing capabilities of TRC. The exclusive content of ROKU license Cipher has also become the most popular show in TRC, and then ROKU original packaged after the acquisition of Quibi will be launched, which will further increase the user viscosity of TRC.  Roku's CEO said that the TRC flywheel has been turned, and the market seems to have not had time to digest this benefit. SVOD on the market i...
