STAR50 Index Rebalance Preview: Two Changes in June (Possibly)

By Brian Freitas

  • The review period for the June rebalance ends 30 April. We expect the changes to be announced 26 May with the implementation taking place after the close on 9 June.
  • We expect the index committee to continue using a 6-month minimum listing history resulting in two changes to the index.
  • One way turnover is estimated at 1.6% resulting in a one-way trade of CNY 1,442m. The impact on the deletions will be larger than that on the inclusions.

[Alibaba (BABA US) Target Price Change]: No Growth in March Promotion, Cut TP to US$100

By Shawn Yang

  • Based on our recent checks, we expect that Tmall sales in the march promo were weaker-than-expected, especially in apparel and beauty make-up. 
  • Meanwhile, we maintain our prior forecast for Douyin’s overall eCommerce growth, and we expect that Douyin Mall’s share of Douyin eCommerce GMV is now higher than we previously estimated.
  • We cut the GMV growth of Taobao and Tmall from 4.4% YoY to 1.4% YoY in FY24, and cut BABA’s TP to US$ 100, implying 12.6x FY23 PE.
