This Is What Whales Are Betting On JD.com

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) plans to issue U.S. dollars and Chinese yuan bonds to raise capital. The company aims to repay existing debt and support an ongoing stock buyback initiative.
The decision to tap the bond market comes as the company seeks to leverage low global interest rates, providing an opportunity to replenish its capital base while enhancing shareholder value.

The exact principal amount, interest rates, and maturity terms for the bonds will be determined at the time of pricing, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3287038/alibaba-sell-bonds-repay-debt-fund-stock-buy-back-amid-low-interest-rates" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The issuance will likely generate up to $5 billion, with Reuters indicating the dollar-denominated bonds will have maturities of 5.5, 10.5, and 30 years.
The yuan-denominated bonds will carry tenors of 3.5, 5, 10, and 20 years, showcasing a broad range of options for potential investors.
Market analysts suggest that declining interest rates in the Asia-Pacific region have made debt issuance an attractive option for companies like Alibaba. This enables them to execute share buybacks and invest strategically without incurring high financing costs.
Kenny Ng Lai-yin, a strategist at Everbright Securities International, told the SCMP that this environment offers a unique chance for firms to enhance capital returns through debt financing.
Last week, Alibaba reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42006281/alibaba-q2-earnings-revenue-beats-forecast-cloud-and-international-sales-shine-free-cash-flow-falls-amid-strategic-investments" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal second-quarter 2024</a> revenue growth of 5% to $33.70 billion, beating the analyst consensus of $33.47 billion.
Taobao and Tmall Group revenue grew by 1% to $14.11 billion,
Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group&#8217;s revenue increased by 29% to $4.51 billion, and Local Services Group revenue grew by 14% to $2.53 billion.&nbsp;
Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited&#8217;s revenue increased 8% to $3.51 billion.&nbsp; Cloud Intelligence Group revenue grew by 7% to $4.22 billion.&nbsp;
As of September 30, Alibaba reported total outstanding liabilities of 202.2 billion yuan ($27.9 billion) in bank loans and bonds, marking an 18% increase since March.
The company raised $5.5 billion in May through a convertible bond issue. The current bond offering aligns with Alibaba&#8217;s aggressive stock repurchase program, initiated during the pandemic in 2020.
Yields on U.S. Treasuries are currently around 4.31% for five-year notes, 4.44% for ten-year notes, and 3.62% for thirty-year bonds. In contrast, Chinese government bonds offer significantly lower yields, with three-year and five-year bonds yielding 1.35% and 1.7%, respectively.
This disparity provides Alibaba with favorable conditions for its planned bond issuance, reducing the overall cost of borrowing.
The company&#8217;s strategic push to increase buybacks reflects a broader trend among top Chinese tech firms, driven by steep declines in stock valuations.
Alibaba&#8217;s shares have fallen approximately 70% from their peak in late 2020 despite continued growth in sales and profits due to economic weakness, domestic regulatory crackdown, and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41911946/whats-going-on-with-us-listed-chinese-stocks-like-alibaba-jd-nio-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">disappointing fiscal stimulus</a>.
During the third quarter, Alibaba repurchased $4.1 billion worth of shares, reducing its outstanding share count by 2.1% from the end of June. The company&#8217;s CFO, Toby Xu Hong, emphasized the importance of these buybacks as a signal of confidence in Alibaba&#8217;s business outlook.
Michael Burry&#8217;s fund <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42002224/big-short-investor-michael-burry-doubles-down-on-chinese-tech-stocks-while-adding-protective-hedges" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased its stakes in</a> Alibaba, JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), making Chinese tech its largest holdings.
Despite boosting exposure, Burry hedged risks by purchasing put options, signaling caution on potential market volatility.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA stock is up 0.42% at $88.96 premarket at&nbsp;the last check on Monday.

Renowned tech investor and Palantir Technologies&#8217; co-founder&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;has made a daring prediction about the potential impact of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">60% tariff on Chinese goods</a>.
What Happened: On Thursday, during an interview with The Free Press, Thiel suggested that such a tariff would be &#8220;very, very bad&#8221; for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/41912771/trump-presidency-magnificent-7-stock-impact-benzinga-readers-pick-tech-titan-at-most-risk-following-2024-election">Chinese companies</a> and China as a whole.
However, he believes the impact on American consumers would be &#8220;mildly negative&#8221; as manufacturing would likely shift away from China.
According to Thiel, shifting manufacturing from China to Vietnam would significantly harm China, and have only a minor impact on American consumers. From a geopolitical perspective, he argued, this move would align closely with American strategic interests.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Chinese stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38782459/china-focused-etfs-have-become-political-footballs-in-us-as-investor-apprehension-leads-to-large-sca#google_vignette">experienced a notable rally</a>, pushing the SSE Composite Index in Shanghai to its highest point since September 2023.
However, Trump's proposed tariffs, which could reach as high as 60% on Chinese goods, along with additional import hikes on other nations, could disrupt these investments.
A day after Trump won, China-linked ETFs witnessed a sharp fall after rallying for nearly two months.

The firm increased its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 29%, making it the fund&#8217;s largest holding valued at over $21 million as of September&#8217;s end.
In a similar move, Scion doubled its position in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), elevating it to the fund&#8217;s second-largest holding at approximately $20 million. The firm also expanded its stake in Chinese search giant Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) by 67%, bringing the position to $13.2 million.
However, in what appears to be a cautionary strategy, Burry has simultaneously established put options against these same holdings. Put options typically increase in value when the underlying securities decline, suggesting a hedging strategy designed to protect against potential market volatility.

The timing of these moves coincides with Beijing&#8217;s recent economic stimulus announcements aimed at reinvigorating growth in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. While Chinese equities initially rallied in September following these signals, gains have moderated as investors await more concrete fiscal measures.
Beyond his Chinese technology focus, Burry has also increased positions in several U.S. companies, including Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOUR#NYSE">FOUR</a>), American Coastal Insurance Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACIC#NASDAQ">ACIC</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Why It Matters: Burry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">top three Chinese holdings</a> have posted average gains of nearly 60% over a two-month period, according to market data.
Burry&#8217;s moves are being closely watched by market participants, particularly given his track record. He gained widespread recognition for his prescient bet against mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 global financial crisis, a story later chronicled in Michael Lewis&#8216;s bestseller &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and its subsequent Oscar-winning film adaptation.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these positions reflect holdings as of Sep. 30, as required by SEC regulations for funds managing over $100 million in assets. Given the 45-day reporting delay and Burry&#8217;s active trading style, current positions may have already changed.
The development comes as other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">prominent investors adjust their Chinese holdings</a>. Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8217;s Appaloosa Management recently reduced its Alibaba stake by 5%, though the position remains the fund&#8217;s largest holding at 15.75% of its $6.7 billion portfolio.

'Big Short' Investor Michael Burry Doubles Down On Chinese Tech Stocks While Adding Protective Hedges

Chinese retail sales grew by 4.8% year-on-year in October picking up from September&#8217;s 3.2% growth, as per the National Bureau of Statistics on Friday. That annual retail sales forecast exceeded the 3.8% growth precited by a Reuters poll.
What Happened: The robust growth in Chinese retail sales in October was fueled by the monetary stimulus measures that the People's Bank of China unveiled in the latter half of September as a last-ditch effort to revive the country's struggling economy.
The share price of the top three Chinese e-commerce players, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) were in red in Hong Kong on Friday.
Meanwhile, Alibaba Group Holding&#8216;s American Depository Receipts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) have plunged by 11.90% over the last month, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro data</a>. PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) ADRs have declined by 13.10% and 18.93%, respectively. The shares have underperformed their index, as the NYSE Composite rose by 0.28%, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced by 4.32% in the same period.

Chinese Retail Sales Pickup In October: Here's What's Happening With Alibaba, JD And Pinduoduo Shares

Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8216;s Appaloosa Management reduced its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 5% in the third quarter, despite his recent public enthusiasm for Chinese investments, according to regulatory filings released Thursday.
What Happened: The reduction comes just months after Tepper declared that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/41050711/stocks-rise-as-china-signals-more-stimulus-billionaire-david-tepper-bets-big-on-everythi">would buy &#8220;everything&#8221; China-related</a> amid Beijing&#8217;s stimulus efforts. Despite the trim, Alibaba remains Appaloosa&#8217;s largest holding, representing 15.75% of its $6.7 billion equity portfolio.
The hedge fund&#8217;s third-quarter moves reveal a complex strategy toward Chinese investments. While reducing positions in the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), and Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), Tepper more than doubled his stake in PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and increased positions in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and KE Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>).
The filing also revealed significant reductions in major U.S. technology holdings. Appaloosa sold 275,000 shares of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), representing an 8.59% reduction while cutting its Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) position by 211,356 shares, or 21.89%. The fund also reduced its stake in Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) by 310,000 shares, a 49.6% decrease, and trimmed its position in Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).

Why It Matters: Overall, Tepper&#8217;s exposure to Chinese stocks and ETFs increased to 38% of his equity portfolio in the third quarter, up from 26% in the previous quarter. This positions him, alongside Scion Asset Management&#8216;s Michael Burry, as one of the few prominent hedge fund managers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">maintaining significant Chinese market exposure</a>. 
These portfolio adjustments come as Chinese stocks face headwinds from disappointing fiscal policies and persistent economic challenges, including weak consumer spending and an unstable property market. Market observers note that geopolitical tensions and potential tariff increases add further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">uncertainty to the investment landscape</a>.
The details of these transactions were disclosed in a Form 13F filing, a quarterly report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for institutional investment managers overseeing more than $100 million in qualifying securities.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#NYSE">BABAF</a>) will be unveiling its second-quarter earnings on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/earnings">before market hours</a>. Wall Street is expecting $2.10 in EPS and $33.95 billion in revenue, per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
This comes as the Chinese e-commerce giant faces mounting competition from rivals like JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Pinduoduo Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), as well as a challenging macroeconomic environment that has tempered consumer spending in China.
Still, some analysts are optimistic that Alibaba&#8217;s growing international digital commerce and cloud segments could drive meaningful results, particularly as the company looks to diversify its revenue sources beyond the domestic market.
With Alibaba's core and cloud divisions in focus, investors hope for upbeat numbers amid a challenging economic climate in China.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alibaba Chart Signals Hints At A Challenging Road Ahead</h2>
From a technical analysis perspective, Alibaba's stock currently reflects a bearish sentiment. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-648695" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Trading at $90.32, BABA stock sits below several key moving averages, including its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, suggesting a continuation of selling pressure in the near term. BABA stock trades below its eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $94.97 and its 20-day SMA of $97.39, reinforcing these bearish signals. 
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) reading of a negative 2.01 supports a downward trend, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 36.61 hints that Alibaba stock could be in the oversold territory soon. 
This could offer a short-term relief rally, but the technical signals broadly imply caution leading into the earnings report.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Ratings, Price Targets Signal Optimism Despite Challenges</h2>
Despite the near-term technical indicators, analysts hold an overall positive outlook on Alibaba, with a consensus Buy rating. The average analyst price target of $120 suggests a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings">potential upside of 32.86%</a> from current levels. 
The anticipated growth in Alibaba's cloud and international commerce could be the drivers that could help Alibaba navigate the current economic uncertainties.
In the broader context, Alibaba has shown resilience with a 20.83% gain year-to-date, although it has seen a 16.21% decline over the past month, reflecting investor caution ahead of the earnings. 
With the Chinese economy in flux and competitive pressures high, all eyes will be on Alibaba's guidance for the upcoming quarters. If Alibaba can deliver strong growth in its cloud and international businesses, it could signal a turnaround, potentially setting the stage for a stock price rebound. 
As Alibaba navigates these dynamics, Friday's earnings report will be pivotal in determining if this bullish narrative holds.

JD.com Q3 Earnings: Revenue Beats Forecast Amid Consumer Rebound, Highlights Supply Chain Strength, Eyes Margin Growth

U.S. stocks could open on a tentative note on Thursday after the averages scaled record highs last week. Futures of all three major indices were slightly up as investors processed the crucial Consumer Price Index (CPI) data released on Wednesday.
After scaling a peak of 44,000 on Monday, Dow Jones and other major indices witnessed a minor pullback as investors maintained a cautious stance and booked profits.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Wednesday on a mixed note, with the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 closing the day in green, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq registered a decline.
Crude oil prices remained under the $70 mark but continued to edge up due to concerns about strained supply.
Treasury yields edged up again as investors wait for Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's speech on the economic outlook.
On the economic data front, the U.S. annual inflation rate rose to 2.6% in October from 2.4% in the previous month, which is in line with market estimates. The CPI rose 0.2% month-over-month in October.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with consumer discretionary, energy, and real estate stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday.
However, information technology and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

Insights From Analysts:
Jeremy Schwartz, chief investment officer at WisdomTree, said that the CPI data was "even better than reported."
To explain this, he used more real-time data to note that the headline inflation fell from 2.6% to 1.3%.
"The Fed should continue recalibrating to neutral," said Schwartz.

CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> this positive sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability rising from 60% to 70%.
Sonu Varghese, Vice President at Carson Group, downplayed fears of a rebound in inflation, stating that there are "disinflationary trends" that will "likely keep a lid" on a rise in prices.
On the other hand, analysts at BlackRock Investment Institute <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/blackrock-investment-institute/weekly-commentary">expressed</a> caution on inflation.
"We focus on U.S. CPI to see if inflation will keep falling toward the Fed's 2% target. Short-term inflation has been decreasing, with immigration boosting the labor supply and cooling wage growth. However, recent services PCE data remains sticky, indicating that inflation may settle above 2% in the medium term."
On the equity front, though, Varghese expressed a bullish outlook.
"Overall, economic strengths clearly outweigh areas of weakness, and the opportunities likely have a higher probability of coming to fruition than the threats. The balance favors continued strength for equities, which is why we're maintaining our overweight to stocks, especially US stocks."
WisdomTree and Wharton School economist&nbsp;Jeremy Siegel echoed similar sentiments.
"The ‘bull market' sentiment remains intact, though valuations remain a watch point," he said, adding that the expectations of "lighter regulations" from President-elect Donald Trump's administration would benefit equities.
