What’s new: Alibaba’s reported FY2Q25 revs that were below consensus and our expectations. Taobao and Tmall take rate starts to stabilize partly driven by full-quarter impact from the software service fee and further merchant adoption of Quanzhantui. Margins could see quarterly fluctuations as BABA continues to invest in user experience. We maintain our PT at USD100. Analysts: Jin Yoon
Alibaba’s 2QFY25 results are within expectations. Revenue grew 5% yoy to Rmb236.5b, slightly missing the street’s estimate. Non-GAAP net profit was Rmb36.5b, down 9% yoy and in line with consensus forecast, with net margin of 15.4%. Despite a sequential moderation in GMV growth, we saw a solid performance during the 11.11 campaign due to its strategic execution, and remain optimistic on the cloud and AIDC revenue growth outlook. Maintain BUY with a target price of HK$130.00 (US$130.00).

Data from the initial phase of the 11.11 campaign set a compelling prelude to a high single-digit GMV growth in 2024. We expect the combination of government trade-in subsidies and 11.11 discounts to stimulate consumer demand, particularly with home appliances and 3C digital products taking the spotlight. We anticipate stabilised competition between traditional and livestreaming e-commerce with a strong emphasis on shelf-based e-commerce. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
Lately, internet companies convened their respective AI conferences, unveiling a wide range of upgraded AI products that showcase their AI infrastructure development and AI monetisation potential. We opine that the prevailing trend in adtech upgrades focuses on enhancing marketing efficiency and driving GMV growth, resulting in monetisation improvement. We remain optimistic in view of the favourable regulatory environment and industry development. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
The key concerns of investors include the sustainability of the recent rally and potential fundamental changes upon policy rollout. We think a valuation repair is underway with the upcoming 11.11 campaign and 3Q/4Q24 results release as a critical juncture. Investors are also becoming increasingly optimistic on mega-cap names such as Tencent, Meituan, Alibaba and JD in view of a favourable regulatory backdrop and stabilised competitive environment. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

In view of a stronger-than-expected government policy rollout, we reckon that the improved consumption sentiment will benefit e-commerce, local life services and OTA companies. In 2H24, we expect the undemanding valuations of internet companies to be repaired by shareholder returns, cross-border expansion and easing competition. Meanwhile, we believe monetisation momentum will be fuelled by AIGC development and adtech upgrades. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

2Q24 revenue growth was lukewarm, hampered by a subdued macro backdrop, but most earnings beats were delivered by internet companies. We expect consumers to continue switching to service- and experience-oriented, which will benefit OTA, local life services and online games amid the summer holiday period. Key catalysts in 2H24 that will drive internet companies’ valuation repair include shareholder returns, cross-border expansion, easing competition and more, in our view. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

What’s new: Alibaba’s reported FY1Q25 revs that were below consensus and expectations. As market share could start to stabilize, BABA could shift its focus towards monetization where the gap between CMR and GMV growth could further narrow in the next few quarters. We maintain our PT at USD100. Analysts: Jin Yoon
Alibaba delivered solid 1QFY25 results. Revenue grew 4% yoy to Rmb243.2b, slightly missing the street’s estimate. Non-GAAP net profit was Rmb40.7b, down 9% yoy and is 7% above consensus forecast, with net margin of 16.7%. We remain optimistic on the double-digit revenue growth target for the cloud business in 2H24 and TTG’s take rate improvement upon strategic execution. Maintain BUY with a slightly lower target price of HK$95.00 (US$95.00).
