BABA is a perfect buyStock is cheap. At $88 it's waaay below its value.
Asset Value minus debt divided by a number of shares put BABA somewhere in the $95-110 range. Which means that at $88 it's basically free money.
The only con is VIE structure (Google it yourself) - I have decided to put my trust in VIE structure.
EV/EBITDA is 1.98 which is amazingly low for this type of company. For comparison, Amazon EV/EBITDA is 20.5 at the moment.
I have concluded that risk of VIE structure cancles out the EV/EBITDA discrepancy more than enough.
There is a very high chance that BABA is cheap enough to cancel out every other investment risk.
Do your own research and get to your own conclusions. These are just bullet points and for a small investor this should be a great LONG TERM investment.
Don't expect quick profits, even though there is a high chance of mid to short-term profits with this stock.
