<li>We believe BABA’s upcoming 4QFY23 results will surprise the market to the upside by a wide margin in terms of recovery in bottomline, catalyzing trading opportunity for short-term investors.</li>
<li>We also expect that the results will usher in a period of sustained re-rating for the stock due to China’s continued yet slow consumption recovery and Alibaba’s well-executed restructuring plan.</li>
<li>Geo-Political risks will not go away, but have been very much reflected in current pricing in our view. Buy ahead of results on Thursday.</li>
