Big move! PDD rating and target price have been significantly downgraded. Alibaba is still the top choice for e-commerce stocks on Wall Street.

Goldman Sachs' top pick for Alibaba is due to the improvement in GMV growth of Taobao and Tmall, which has narrowed the gap with industry growth; the company is also a leader in the field of generative AI, and cloud business growth may recover in the second half of the year; the overall profitability of the group is clear, as loss-making businesses can be adjusted through restructuring.

Goldman Sachs: Downgrades PDD's rating from "Buy" to "Neutral" and lowers target price by 20% to $93

If calculated at the latest closing price of $66.75, this price implies a 39% upside!

The bank believes that compared to other stocks with larger revisions, PDD's risk-return is relatively flat. The bank expects the company's Q1 GMV growth to increase, but advertising revenue growth will slow down from Q2 due to a high base. In addition, due to increased domestic S&M spending and overseas Temu investment, it is expected to enter a period of flat performance in Q2.

At the same time, Alibaba is still the bank's preferred stock in the Internet and e-commerce sector: (1) Taobao-Tmall's GMV growth has improved, and the gap with the industry has narrowed; (2) it is in a leading position in the field of generative AI, and cloud business growth may recover in the second half of the year; and (3) the overall profit growth prospects of the group are clear, as loss-making businesses can be adjusted through restructuring.

Jefferies: Upgrades XPENG-W's rating to "Hold" with a target price of $9.3

If calculated at the latest closing price of $9.29, this price implies basic parity.

Citigroup: Maintains "Buy" rating for Coca-Cola with a 4% increase in target price to $74

If calculated at the latest closing price of $63.95, this price implies a 16% upside!

The bank stated that Coca-Cola announced "steady" first-quarter results, but considering the uncertainty of the macro environment and the weak start in early April, the company "cautiously" maintained its guidance. The bank added that Coca-Cola's fundamentals are still solid, with strong pricing power and strong development trends in emerging markets.

CICC: Maintains "Outperform" rating for Kuaishou with a 11.8% decrease in target price to HKD 82

If calculated at the latest closing price of HKD 48.1, this price implies a 70% upside!

Kuaishou-W is expected to release its first-quarter results in late May. The bank expects revenue to increase by 19.6% YoY to RMB 25.19 billion (the same below), with the market expectation of RMB 24.28 billion; Non-IFRS net loss of RMB 168 million, with the market expectation of a loss of RMB 505 million.

At the same time, the bank believes that the company's e-commerce and live broadcast business revenue is expected to exceed expectations, driving total revenue and Non-IFRS net loss to be better than market expectations. The bank raised Kuaishou's full-year Non-IFRS net profit forecast by 64.9% to RMB 1.67 billion, and basically maintained the Non-IFRS net profit forecast for next year and the year after.
