Alibaba (BABA US): What Is Next After Strong Rally?

By Eric Chen

  • Bullish sentiments doubled BABA share price post 20th Party congress, as investors look beyond a soft December quarter and focus on re-opening prospects and flashing regulatory green lights.
  • Expect single-Digit GMV growth, more disciplined OPEX and hence margin recovery to generate RMB180 billion non-GAAP net profit for BABA by FY25. Materializing fundamental recovery will support continued re-rating.
  • That said, we also see headwinds to multiple expansion and expect 18-20x PER (among lowest in sector) for FY25, implying 21%/28% compounded annual return over FY23-25.

Pre-IPO CanSino Biologics – 2022 Annual Results May Be Ugly as MCV4 Commercialization Hit a Snag

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • CanSino Biologics Inc (6185 HK) disclosed plans to publicly list in Switzerland, but the story of the fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine is difficult to boost its stock price/valuation. 
  • According to CanSino’s management,MCV4’s commercialization faced some challenges, which means 2022 annual performance may not be good. 2021 would probably be a high point of CanSino’s performance in recent years.
  • Share price could pullback when 2022 annual report is released, which offers a better opportunity if investors want to go long, considering CanSino’s long-term investment value analyzed in prior insights. 

Sany Heavy: Buy

By Xin Yu, CFA

  • China’s construction engineering industry declined more than expected in 2022
  • The industry may reach the inflection point by the end of 2023 or 1H24
  • Sany Heavy is expected to recover earlier than its peers
