We expect China’s reopening to be a growth driver for Alibaba, as the company derives 65% of its total revenue from its China Commerce segment. In 2Q23, the company reported a 1% Y/Y decline in its China Commerce revenue. We believe China’s reopening and Chinese New Year festivities will boost revenue growth and fuel Alibaba’s recovery. We believe Alibaba and others in the e-commerce space, including JD.com (JD), will see demand tailwinds in 1H23. According to Pattern research, during the Chinese New Year, Chinese retail and e-commerce companies’ historical sales rose for “more than a decade until the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020.” We believe Chinese stocks will experience a rebound in sales this Chinese New Year as China’s economic slowdown becomes history. Sales of the Lunar New Year specialty, nianhuo, already surged 30% Y/Y on the company’s online retail platforms, Tmall and Taobao marketplace, in the first two weeks of January.

We’re constructive on Alibaba’s cloud segment as it competes with the top players in the cloud-computing space, mainly Microsoft’s (MSFT) Azure, Amazon’s (AMZN) AWS, and Alphabet’s Google Cloud. Our concern regarding Alibaba’s cloud segment is not due to any shortcomings from the company, but due to the weaker spending environment resulting from macroeconomic headwinds. We believe inflationary pressures and heightened interest rates have materialized, weaker IT spending from corporate customers. We believe corporations are stingier when allocating budgets during current macroeconomic headwinds, with Canalys reporting that cloud computing’s “annual growth rate fell below 30% for the first time” in 3Q22. We don’t believe Alibaba is immune to the weaker spending environment and expect the company’s cloud business to be pressured in the near term.</p><h3>Valuation &amp; Word on Wall Street</h3><p>We believe Alibaba’s stock is relatively cheap. Based on Alibaba’s current enterprise value and its revenue TTM ending September 30th, the company’s EV/Revenue is 1.78x, while Amazon’s EV/Revenue is 2.1x.

Of the 47 analysts covering the stock, 41 are buy-rated, four are hold-rated, and the remaining are sell-rated. The stock is currently priced at $103.

We believe Alibaba is better positioned to grow meaningfully in 2023 as it expands its revenue sources and simultaneously regains revenue growth at home in its China Commerce segment. We also believe the stock is too cheap to ignore, providing a favorable entry point at current levels. The stock is up nearly 42% from its 52-week-low of $60.25. While investors are often hesitant about jumping into Chinese stocks, we believe Alibaba is worth the investment, as we expect Chinese stocks to enter a bull market in 1H23.

Of the 47 analysts covering the stock, 41 are buy-rated, four are hold-rated, and the remaining are sell-rated. The stock is currently priced at $103. The median sell-side price target is $146, and the mean is $143, with a potential upside of 39-41%.The following table outlines the sell-side ratings and price targets for BABA.What to do with the stockWe’re bullish on Alibaba; we expect the stock to be driven higher as China lifts COVID regulations and moves towards a full reopening by mid-2023. We believe Alibaba is better positioned to grow meaningfully in 2023 as it expands its revenue sources and simultaneously regains revenue growth at home in its China Commerce segment. We also believe the stock is too cheap to ignore, providing a favorable entry point at current levels. The stock is up nearly 42% from its 52-week-low of $60.25. While investors are often hesitant about jumping into Chinese stocks, we believe Alibaba is worth the investment, as we expect Chinese stocks to enter a bull market in 1H23. We recommend investors buy the stock before it rallies further.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":443,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937008446,"gmtCreate":1663311668785,"gmtModify":1676537250321,"author":{"id":"3575268994462697","authorId":"3575268994462697","name":"JakeFear","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575268994462697","authorIdStr":"3575268994462697"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Typical FUD post guys, buy and HODL.

In addition, the borrower of the shares will have to pay Apple&#39;s dividend to the investor who lends the shares.

You can read more about Lamensdorf's shorting strategy here.Lamensdorf previously warned that a percentage of short-sales to total shares available for trading of \"over 30% to 40% is outrageously high,\" as it makes short-squeezes more likely.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":462,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999545178,"gmtCreate":1660562825097,"gmtModify":1676534803177,"author":{"id":"3575268994462697","authorId":"3575268994462697","name":"JakeFear","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575268994462697","authorIdStr":"3575268994462697"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just maybe&nbsp;","listText":"Just maybe&nbsp;","text":"Just maybe","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999545178","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":437,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9021676804,"gmtCreate":1653053955208,"gmtModify":1676535215269,"author":{"id":"3575268994462697","authorId":"3575268994462697","name":"JakeFear","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575268994462697","authorIdStr":"3575268994462697"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The more FUD from you shills, the more I buy.&nbsp;","listText":"The more FUD from you shills, the more I buy.&nbsp;","text":"The more FUD from you shills, the more I buy.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9021676804","repostId":"1158790653","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1158790653","pubTimestamp":1653050976,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1158790653?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-20 20:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Stock: Why it’s Time to Bail Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1158790653","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Meme momentum is fading rapidly for AMC Entertainment(AMC) and AMC stock.Positive sentiment alone ac","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Meme momentum is fading rapidly for <b>AMC Entertainment</b>(<b><u>AMC</u></b>) and AMC stock.</li><li>Positive sentiment alone accounted for AMC’s price rise.</li><li>Investors should take this opportunity to bail from AMC now.</li></ul><p>Investors may cite improving movie attendance as a reason to buy <b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>) stock.

But the pain may be just beginning. The company&#39;s financials continue to struggle, and management is making questionable decisions with shareholder capital. Let&#39;s dig deeper. </p><h2>1. Management might be losing touch</h2><p>Led by CEO Adam Aron, AMC Entertainment has navigated the coronavirus pandemic, which devastated its operations amid lockdowns and movie release delays in 2020 and 2021. The company has also embraced the community of meme traders who flocked to its stock by accepting volatile assets like <b>Dogecoin</b> and <b>Shiba Inu</b> as payment. But now, management seems to have taken things too far. </p><p>In March, the company purchased a 22% stake in near-bankrupt gold mining company <b>Hycroft Mining</b> for $27.9 million. According to Aron, Hycroft is in a position similar to where AMC was during its crisis, boasting solid assets despite liquidity challenges. Management suggests this deal could be the first of many future investments in distressed assets. But this could be bad news for AMC&#39;s shareholders.  </p><p>AMC is speculating in industries that have nothing to do with its expertise in movie theater operations. So it is unclear what assistance it will be able to give these companies (aside from a hype-driven boost to their share prices). And while management may believe they skirted bankruptcy because of their skill, it arguably has more to do with the meme stock movement that boosted the company&#39;s stock price and gave it leeway to dilute investors for much-needed capital. </p><h2>2. AMC&#39;s financials are still weak</h2><p>AMC&#39;s new strategy is risky, especially considering its weak balance sheet. Despite seeing fourth-quarter revenue rebound from $162.5 million to $1.2 billion year over year, it owes $5.4 billion in corporate borrowings compared to having just $1.6 billion in cash and equivalents. And the company isn&#39;t profitable yet, reporting a net loss of $134 million in the period. </p><p>With pressing challenges in AMC&#39;s core business, it looks foolhardy for the company to use its much-needed cash to invest in inherently risky near-bankrupt companies. Investors could pay the price of this through continued equity dilution, which has already ravaged the company over the last few years. </p><p>AMC&#39;s average shares outstanding soared 237% to roughly 514 million between 2020 and 2021. And the dilution could continue if the company needs to raise capital to fund more investments. Equity dilution can hurt investors by reducing their ownership of the company and their claim to its earnings, especially if the new capital is not used to create value. </p><h2>A meme stock holding company?</h2><p>Inspired by its narrow escape from bankruptcy, AMC may be transitioning to a holding company that invests in distressed stocks in addition to its movie theater business. This strategy looks risky because of AMC&#39;s weak balance sheet and lack of expertise in industries outside of movie theater operations. Investors could face significant equity dilution as management pivots to this questionable new strategy. </p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Reasons to Sell AMC Entertainment</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n2 Reasons to Sell AMC Entertainment\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-11 11:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/10/2-reasons-to-sell-amc-entertainment/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Down by a whopping 31% to $18 year to date, the AMC Entertainment bubble is finally deflating.
