Alibaba Stock: A Value Trap Behind The Headline Growth (NYSE:BABA)

I am a technology professional and individual investor who has lived in China for decades. Through my practical observation of the Eastern economy, I can offer on-the-ground perspective and in-depth analysis of companies from the East. My investment philosophy is long-term investing, with a focus on business fundamentals. I regard myself as a potential owner of the company, so I focus on fundamental valuation, including cash flow, business model, competitive environment, and management philosophy. Furthermore, before making actual investment, I will personally experience the company’s products, observe consumer behavior, and continuously evaluate the company’s business in my daily life. My professional background is in the technology field. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I currently work for a large cloud service provider in China. This allows me to analyze a company’s technological competitiveness and actual business situation beyond financial statements and data tables. My primary research focuses on the internet, technology, and consumer sectors in the East. I aim to find high-quality companies with reasonable valuations in these fields, find potential turnaround companies, and also find potential opportunities in my daily life. I join Seeking Alpha to provide a realistic picture of Eastern companies, which is exactly what Western investors need. I hope to share information and insights about actual business operations that financial reports miss. I also hope to receive suggestions and feedback from the community.
