We argued in last follow-up note that property woes and challenging macro situation would keep pressuring China online marketplaces’ valuation despite their improving profitability and cashflow.
The sector’s brutal de-rating since last 4Q has been pricing in a dire growth outlook and it is closer to the end of tunnel in our view.
We expect a lackluster 4Q23 results season for the sector in general but also less share price volatility given extremely depressed valuation. Stay positive over 12-month time horizon.
