Two things to consider with $Alibaba(BABA)$ $BABA-W(09988)$ HK primary listing status opening up the likely inclusion into the Southbound Stock Connect program:
1. If it doesn’t result in ordinary mainland investors buying Alibaba’s shares in HK, nothing much changes from the status quo. Alibaba is still on track to have a great 2024 with antitrust completed and all divisions contributing to profitability. It’s a company trading at 9X fwd PE with a 2.4% yield.
2. If it DOES result in mainland investors buying up shares, the impact could be substantial especially if China unleashes some sort of consumption-focused stimulus. This is actually already starting with the news of mortgage refinancing for existing borrowers. The lower rates will unleash tens of billions of dollars in extra spending power.
