Alibaba Forms New Retail Partnership

By Shuli Ren

There has been a lot of speculative trading based on market rumors that Alibaba Group (BABA) will form a strategic partnership with China’s retail operators to expand into China’s massive offline space.

Alibaba confirmed this morning the formation of a strategic partnership with Chinese retail conglomerate Shanghai Bailian Group (600827.Shanghai). Prior to the announcement Bailian soared limit up 10% after mainland Chinese media reported on the alliance.

The strategic partnership does not involve Alibaba making financial investments into Bailian, according to Tencent Tech, a well-respected tech site. So it is not clear how Alibaba can immediately enhance Bailian shareholders’ value.

Last Friday, Hong Kong-listed Sun Art Retail (6808.Hong Kong), a French-Taiwanese joint venture, soared 6.5% in morning trading amid heavy buying before issuing a trading halt after media rumors that Alibaba would make a strategic investment into the convenience chain operator.

But Taiwan media, which reported on the Sun Art Retail rumor first, got it wrong. Sun Art tumbled 12.5% today after clarifying that it was not in talks with Alibaba over a strategic partnership. Remarkably, this $10 billion market cap stock is the 9th most traded company in Hong Kong this morning.

Alibaba net lags estimates

Alibaba Group Holding's earnings lagged estimates after it swallowed a higher tax bill and splurged on the entertainment and cloud computing businesses that are fueling revenue growth.

China's biggest e-commerce company posted adjusted earnings-per-share of 4.35 yuan (HK$4.91), missing the 4.51 yuan average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

That came even as revenue rose at a faster-than-expected 60 percent to 38.6 billion yuan. Shares of Alibaba fell as much as 3.9 percent in pre-market trade before recovering.

While Chinese consumption remains strong, the country's economy showed signs of cooling as retail sales and industrial output growth slowed in April with regulators cracking down on rising financial leverage.

Alibaba has expanded into new areas in response to a decelerating home economy, buying control of Lazada Group to gain a Southeast Asian foothold and waging a price-based war with Tencent Holdings in cloud computing services.

"The March quarter is usually a slow season for e-commerce so margins usually come down a bit," said Ray Zhao, a Shenzhen-based analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. "Alibaba is spending a lot to drive growth in video and entertainment."

It is also trying to appeal to a growing middle class demanding premium products from Alaskan salmon to New Zealand milk.

Growing Chinese affluence is propelling founder Jack Ma Yun's international expansion, which includes helping a million American businesses tap Chinese consumers and reaching foreign shoppers through AliExpress.

Income tax expenses spiked 149 percent to 4.6 billion yuan in the March quarter. Alibaba's effective tax rate rose to 29 percent from 23 percent a year earlier, when it set aside a portion of its earnings as non-taxable reinvestment capital. It also paid additional taxes as it sold certain unspecified investments.

CEO Jack Ma’s Vision Shows How A $190 Target Is Realistic For Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Stock

It may be time to appreciate BABA for its unique e-commerce brilliance and the stock's potential upside

By James Brumley

JPMorgan analyst Alex Yao explains it best within his new bullish view of Alibaba:

“We believe Alibaba’s core commerce is expanding from traffic monetization to data monetization and such trend will quickly expand to its media/cloud businesses.

Such expansion not only allows Alibaba to tap into non-transaction-based corporate budget (e.g. market research, brand awareness, and customer service), but also supports our investment thesis based on sustainable revenue/earnings growth.”

As for what it all means to current and would-be BABA stock holders, Yao’s $190 price target doesn’t seem unreasonable. Jack Ma has very much turned up the heat in a savvy way.
