As shown in the chart below, these investors include Charles Munger, the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A), and also “big short” Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager who famously predicted the housing market crash. Munger&#39;s portfolio currently has the most concentrated bet on BABA, representing more than 19% of his overall portfolio size.

In that quarter, the Alibaba stock price varied in a range of $81 to $120, with an average closing price of ~$100.

More specifically, I believe they see an opportunity to purchase a great company that is experiencing temporary difficulties. There is no doubt that Alibaba has been experiencing strong headwinds recently on multiple fronts. And I assume all BABA investors are familiar with these issues, which include the competitive landscape.</p><p>However, I see these issues as only temporary, and I assume that is what these super-investors see also. I am familiar with the style of several of the super-investors listed above and follow their writings closely (e.g., Munger, Burry, and also Guy Spier). They are all experienced investors with a long track record of success. Munger and Burry have both said that they believe in Alibaba&#39;s long-term prospects.</p><p>At the same time, BABA’s stock price and valuation remain extremely compressed.

And I view the gap as a clear sign of undervaluation.</p><p>Besides the price gap, the stock valuation compressed can also be seen via other metrics. And the charts below show two more such metrics. The first chart shows that the stock is currently trading at a price-to-cash flow ratio (P/CFO ratio) of only 7.64x, which is extremely low either by horizontal or vertical comparison. As seen, its median P/CFO ratio over the past 5 years is 18.8x and the average is 17.6x.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e4190c1859e6b334a37ec8ff5835717\" title=\"Source: Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"376\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>Similarly, the second chart shows that the stock is trading at a very compressed valuation too when its leverages are considered. For example, its enterprise value (EV) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) ratio currently stands at 7.07x only (on a forward basis). Actually, even at the ~$100 holding prices from the super investors, its EV/EBITDA multiple is still only 8.17x and the P/CFO is only 12.2x.</p><p>For a business that has no solvency issues, I view such multiples as reserved only for companies that are terminally stagnating. Yet, BABA is the opposite of a terminal stagnation stock in my mind. And consensus estimates are forecasting healthy growth in the next few years (5.6% CAGR as seen) too.</p><p>I will go a step further and argue that such consensus estimates are on the conservative side. I am optimistic that BABA can achieve higher growth rates in the years ahead both because of macroscopic and company-specific catalysts. Macroscopically, my opinion is that the Chinese domestic economy has moved past lingering COVID-19 headwinds and I expect a much-improved macroeconomic landscape. Specific to BABA, I expect the ongoing restructuring efforts to spur more creativity, efficiency, and also profitability in the near future.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a954e13429e60ff652826daa7d5ca277\" title=\"Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/010637f0a413d5e62321f3415bda593b\" title=\"Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"258\"/><span>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>Other risks and final thoughts</h2><p>There are a few other upside risks to consider besides those mentioned above. And the top and most immediate one in my mind is the shareholder value unlocked due to its anticipated reconstruction efforts. The following charts show my sum-of-the-parts (“SOTP”) analysis of the current worth of the business (more details are provided in an earlier article). The gist is that two of the parts, its current cash position and domestic e-commerce, are already worth its current market price according to my results. When all six parts that it plans to separate out (and potentially IPO) are considered, I am seeing a 30% upside potential for Alibaba stock even under conservative assumptions.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d1ba82e60e4b4cbac883e481585a637\" title=\"Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>There are also downside risks to consider. Geopolitical risks are a major risk. BABA is also facing competition from other Chinese and also global e-commerce companies, such as JD.com (JD), PDD Holdings Inc. (PDD), and Amazon (AMZN). All these competitors are investing heavily in new technologies and marketing initiatives, and all of them directly compete with BABA and could pressure its margins.</p><p>Despite these challenges, Alibaba Group Holding Limited remains one of the largest and most successful e-commerce companies in the world. And the key consideration for my bullish thesis is that the current headwinds are temporary. I interpret the recent transactions from some of the most successful super-investors as a move to buy a great company that is experiencing temporary difficulties. And I see the price gap between their buying/holding prices and the market price of Alibaba Holdings as an indicator of the company’s undervaluation.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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>Alibaba: Why Does Smart Money Buy/Hold At ~$100?</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\">\nAlibaba: Why Does Smart Money Buy/Hold At ~$100?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-07 10:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609851-alibaba-why-does-smart-money-buy-hold-at-100><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummarySeveral high-profile investors (such as Charles Munger and Michael Burry) have been buying/adding to their Alibaba Group Holding Limited position lately.Alibaba is currently ranked the top 29th...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609851-alibaba-why-does-smart-money-buy-hold-at-100\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","09988":"阿里巴巴-W"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4609851-alibaba-why-does-smart-money-buy-hold-at-100","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2341381639","content_text":"SummarySeveral high-profile investors (such as Charles Munger and Michael Burry) have been buying/adding to their Alibaba Group Holding Limited position lately.Alibaba is currently ranked the top 29th stock most held by super-investors, and their average holding price is ~$100.I interpret these transactions as a move to buy a great company that is experiencing temporary trouble.And the sizable gap between their holding prices and the market price signals a deep undervaluation.Investment thesisRecently, several high-profile investors have been buying shares of Alibaba Group Holding Limited.

Watching helplessly as your life savings disappear is enough to scare even seasoned investors.</p><p>But the best investors, such as Oaktree Capital Management co-founder Howard Marks, know that market downturns can create spectacular opportunities to profit.</p><p>Fortunately, we have just such an opportunity today. The following companies saw their stock prices plunge during the 2022 bear market. But they&#39;re set to enjoy powerful growth catalysts in the coming years. And with their shares now much more reasonably priced, these beaten-down growth stocks are particularly attractive buys.</p><h2>Etsy</h2><p>E-commerce sales surged during the early part of the pandemic. <b>Etsy</b> experienced explosive growth during this period as more people shopped on its sites for handmade items and craft supplies. But after health restrictions were lifted and shoppers returned to traditional retail stores, Etsy&#39;s growth slowed. Impatient traders sold, and its stock price sank 45% last year.</p><p>Yet Etsy&#39;s shares have rallied roughly 90% from their 52-week lows because investors have begun to realize that much of the gains the company earned during the pandemic are likely permanent. The number of active buyers on Etsy&#39;s platform topped 88 million in Q3, doubling from the third quarter in 2019. Those buyers are also spending more, with sales per active buyer up 33% during that time. All told, Etsy&#39;s revenue and operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2022 rose to $1.8 billion and $392 million, respectively, up from $548 million and $128 million in the comparable period in 2019.</p><p>Moreover, Etsy&#39;s growth could reaccelerate as e-commerce trends normalize. Online retail sales will approach $7.4 trillion in 2025, up from $5.5 trillion in 2022, according to eMarketer. If Etsy can capture just a small portion of that growth -- and multiple signs suggest it can -- investors who buy its shares at their discounted price today will likely be well rewarded.</p><h2>Rivian Automotive</h2><p>Supply chain disruptions made it impossible for <b>Rivian Automotive</b> to hit its vehicle production target for 2022.

Watching helplessly as your life savings disappear is enough to scare even seasoned investors.But the best investors, such as Oaktree Capital Management co-founder Howard Marks, know that market downturns can create spectacular opportunities to profit.Fortunately, we have just such an opportunity today. The following companies saw their stock prices plunge during the 2022 bear market. But they're set to enjoy powerful growth catalysts in the coming years. And with their shares now much more reasonably priced, these beaten-down growth stocks are particularly attractive buys.EtsyE-commerce sales surged during the early part of the pandemic. Etsy experienced explosive growth during this period as more people shopped on its sites for handmade items and craft supplies. But after health restrictions were lifted and shoppers returned to traditional retail stores, Etsy's growth slowed. Impatient traders sold, and its stock price sank 45% last year.Yet Etsy's shares have rallied roughly 90% from their 52-week lows because investors have begun to realize that much of the gains the company earned during the pandemic are likely permanent. The number of active buyers on Etsy's platform topped 88 million in Q3, doubling from the third quarter in 2019. Those buyers are also spending more, with sales per active buyer up 33% during that time. All told, Etsy's revenue and operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2022 rose to $1.8 billion and $392 million, respectively, up from $548 million and $128 million in the comparable period in 2019.Moreover, Etsy's growth could reaccelerate as e-commerce trends normalize. Online retail sales will approach $7.4 trillion in 2025, up from $5.5 trillion in 2022, according to eMarketer. If Etsy can capture just a small portion of that growth -- and multiple signs suggest it can -- investors who buy its shares at their discounted price today will likely be well rewarded.Rivian AutomotiveSupply chain disruptions made it impossible for Rivian Automotive to hit its vehicle production target for 2022.
