BILIBILI (BILI US): Can Achieving Breakeven Justify US$10bn Market Cap?
- BILIBILI shares have rallied more than 200% since early November on prospects of China exiting zero-COVID, short covering, and accelerated breakeven timeline.
- Yet simply achieving breakeven doesn’t justify its US$10 billion valuation. It has to be accompanied by decent profitable growth – an unlikely scenario given the aggressive downsizing needed for breakeven.
- BILI’s businesses also entail structurally low margin. Stock could easily de-rate by 30% or more when growth euphoria recedes and disappointed profitability checks in during 2023.
