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.

The government plans to distribute $30 worth of bitcoin to residents who have registered for e-wallets, with a total investment of up to 75 million U.S. dollars.

Alibaba stock price prediction 2025: BABA's PE is only 33 times?

 Review Alibaba's digital economy has created a transaction volume of 1 trillion US dollars.  The revenue and profit growth in the past few years have been solid, relative to Tencent (700), Pinduoduo (PDD), and JD.com (JD).    Why is the valuation of Alibaba (BABA) relatively undervalued, PE is only 33 times?    Is there a chance to catch up?    Is Alibaba (BABA) an ideal investment? Compared with Tencent, Alibaba's business revenue sources are relatively concentrated, and most of them are related to online shopping.  Although the company's business includes core business, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, innovative business, and others, for 2020 earnings, cloud computing only accounts for 8% of total revenue, digital media, and entertainment 5%, and innovative business and others account for 1% of these revenues.  Businesses that account for a fraction of the business are losing money.

Shopify stock forecast 2025:Is it worth buying?

  In the last year, the stocks rose relatively well. Another sector is e-commerce. Whether it is Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, SEA or vertical e-commerce platforms Etsy and Chewy, all of them have experienced huge gains, while another category has benefited from the e-commerce sector.  The company is a website building tool company such as Shopify BigCommerce Holdings. Today I will talk about shopify, the leader of website building tools.  First, let's briefly talk about shopify's business model. To put it simply, shopify is a fool-like website building platform. In the past, when a company wanted to build a corporate website, it generally needed to find a dedicated person to design and maintain the website.  If you want to add shopping functions to the website, the cost of building the website will also increase. This is true for many small businesses and individual businesses.   A very difficult thing. Shopify uses the SAAS model to provide websit...

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 ...
