BABA Triple Low or More to Go?

By Thomas Schroeder

  • BABA’s slide has been in line. Two key directional break points stand out that will drive the intermediate cycle. The current technical reading remains weak.
  • MACD has drifted higher into the neutral zone while price has traded in a bearish flat range setting up a sell. MACD will be coiled for a fresh down leg.
  • Well defined directional break points lies at 135 (trendline and price pivot) and 100 (triple low support).

JD Logistics (2618 HK) – Asset Light Model Yet to Yield Higher Returns?

By Jason Yap, CFA

  • JD Logistics is a logistics distribution service platform that provides logistics solutions in China through its nationwide warehouse and distribution logistics network
  • Unlike its peers, it does not directly invest in warehouse assets but instead leases them from its parent company JD.com, which theoretically confers advantages of an “asset light” strategy
  • JD Logistics has yet to yield such benefits to date, but its upcoming full year 2021 results could help investors determine potential ROA and margin improvement trends

By Ming Lu

  • We believe the revenue growth will be stable in 4Q21.
  • We believe all business lines remains promising except for advertising.
