$Alibaba(BABA)$
-Grow GMV in domestic ecommerce business and institute a 0.6% vendor fee when vendors reach a target level. If successful, i believe this might eventually add $3B to net income, so at a P/E of 10, $30B to valuation.
-Bring loss making businesses to break even as they come up to scale. International ecommerce drowns out the rest of the loss making businesses. This looks like it could add another $3B to net income, $30B to valuation. I find this one to be believable...revenue is growing like crazy so not hard to imagine that they are on a path to achieving scale.
-Cloud revenue is improving, growing, and it's profitability is now material. I believe they said double digit growth for Cloud. They seemed extremely optimistic that there was a lot of demand. This one seems to be finally on the right track.
Then there is stock connect effective the second week of September. This can only add to demand and put upward pressure on the share price.
Ant IPO has been quiet, but valuation thought to be at least $100B last I knew...Baba share $30B.
Baba has been taking its lumps lately, but seems to have more fight in it, rallying in subsequent days
