Many people are looking to start investing in long-term investments as part of their stock market portfolio, all in hopes of leveling the playing field and regaining some of the money that they’ve already lost. The question is, where are you supposed to start? Surprisingly, some people are looking at Didi Global, a Chinese ride-hailing company that is currently traded on the stock market as DIDI$DiDi Global Inc.(DIDI)$ .
As a matter of fact, it’s currently selling for only $3.49 per share. That’s something that gets a lot of investors interested because they realize that they could potentially buy several shares of stock without spending a great deal of money in the process. Some people have expressed interest in the stock because they are a ride-hailing company, meaning that they’re involved in a business that’s constantly growing these days. It’s also worth noting that they’re based in Beijing, a place where ride-hailing is extremely popular. The fact that they’re called Didi Global would make most people assume that they intend to do exactly that with their business, grow it on a global scale.
One would think that a company based in Beijing who has this type of experience would be able to grow a ride-hailing business practically anywhere, even in certain areas of the United States where this form of transportation hasn’t become nearly as popular. Still others know that the company currently has over 15,000 employees. One would think that a company that employs so many people would be financially stable.
The logic is that it would be practically impossible for them to employ so many people if they were struggling with their own finances to the point where they find themselves on a rather shaky foundation. Truth be told, the company isn’t nearly as financially stable as they might appear to be at first glance. If you’re really interested in knowing whether or not you should consider them as a long-term investment, you’ll have to turn to various stock market analysts in order to understand everything that’s going on with the company.
Most stock market analysts seem to be on the fence about this particular stock and that’s something that surprises a number of investors because the situation looks so grim. Perhaps a number of analysts are being overly optimistic, but more than a few of them believe that the company will somehow find a way to turn things around.
If they do, then there is a real possibility that they could see an appreciable level of success which would allow their stock to climb. If that’s the way things work out, it is conceivable that people could invest in the stock at today’s prices, buying up several shares for next to nothing. Once the company gets past all of their regulatory issues and the stock starts going up, it would then be possible to sell these shares for a lot more money than what was ever initially paid for them. The thing is, there is a genuine amount of risk involved here. Granted, investing in the stock market is risky to begin with.
