Factors affecting Alibaba's (BABA) target price and earnings projection

China is a country with a strict administrative management of the economy. One of the influencing factors is the legal requirements for each participant in the Chinese market. In previous years, the technology market was already under pressure from the regulator, thus 5 companies were under the threat of delisting, which caused the entire technology market to fall.

A similar situation occurred in 2022 in the U.S. stock market. BABA shares were in danger of being delisted due to non-compliance with SEC requirements and failure to conduct an audit. This caused the shares to go down by more than 10%.

Other influencing factors:

Financial results. Quarterly and annual reporting and compliance/noncompliance of actual data and forecast;

Competition, entering new markets;

Change in demand due to general economic factors (geopolitics, pandemic, etc.).

When analyzing Alibaba, take into account financial results and the dynamics of changes in demand for its related structures as well as.
