10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday, among other U.S. listed Chinese stocks, after China&#8217;s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced disappointing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41227136/chinese-stocks-plunge-as-stimulus-hopes-fade-hong-kong-posts-worst-daily-decline-si">stimulus measures</a>.
What To Know: Investors anticipated the commission&#8217;s chairman Zheng Shanjie would release bold measures to boost the country&#8217;s economy during a press conference Tuesday. However, Zheng&#8217;s measures amounted to releasing a 100 billion yuan investment plan for 2025 by the end of this month and a separate 100 billion yuan for construction projects.
Following the underwhelming stimulus measures, China&#8217;s stock markets fell on Tuesday, cutting off gains. Hong Kong&#8217;s Hang Seng index closed 9.4% lower on Tuesday. In addition, the Shanghai Composite Index experienced significant fluctuations throughout the day, but despite the volatility, it ultimately closed with a 4.6% gain.
Alibaba and other U.S. listed Chinese stocks are heavily owned by foreign investors who may be quick to react to market shifts. Other U.S. listed Chinese stocks effected by this shift include JD.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>).
How To Buy Alibaba Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Alibaba Gr Hldgs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Movers

What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Tuesday?

Shares of NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) are trading lower Tuesday as part of a broader decline in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks. This selloff follows news that Chinese officials failed to meet investor expectations for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41227136/chinese-stocks-plunge-as-stimulus-hopes-fade-hong-kong-posts-worst-daily-decline-si">substantial economic stimulus measures.</a>
What To Know: The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, a key indicator of Chinese market performance, fell over 9%, marking its worst single-day decline since the global financial crisis in October 2008. The mainland's Shanghai Composite Index also faced significant volatility, although it closed up 4.6%, after fluctuating throughout the day.
The disappointing stimulus news came after weeks of positive performance in Chinese stocks, which had been influenced by optimism around potential fiscal support to boost China's slowing economy. The announcements included only a modest front-loading of 100 billion yuan for 2025 and another 100 billion yuan for construction projects. 
Foreign investors, who have been key players in the recent rally of Chinese stocks, responded by quickly taking profits. This selloff extended to U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, including major companies like NIO, Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) , XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Alibaba Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>). Some analysts, such as those at Goldman Sachs, remain cautiously optimistic that China will introduce additional fiscal measures later in the year.
NIO Price Action: Nio shares were down by 6.91% at $6.32 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GME">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Behind the Scenes of JD.com's Latest Options Trends

After weeks of soaring performance that positioned Chinese stocks among the best global performers year-to-date, a sharp selloff swept across Chinese markets overnight, with the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong plummeting more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41213691/fast-and-furious-rally-pushes-chinese-stocks-to-double-s-p-500-performance-year-to-date">than 9% on Tuesday. </a>
The massive drop marks the index&#8217;s worst single-day loss since October 2008, during the height of the global financial crisis.
In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index also faced intense volatility but managed to close 4.6% higher after fluctuating wildly throughout the day, following a holiday week. 
Investors, previously riding the rally, rushed to lock in profits, dampened by disappointment over the lack of aggressive fiscal stimulus announcements from Chinese officials.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lack of Bold Stimulus Disappoints Investors</h3>
The sharp downturn was driven by growing disillusionment with Beijing&#8217;s latest policy measures, or rather, the absence of any major new stimulus. 
Hopes had been high that the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) would unveil bold fiscal support to bolster the economy, but no such plans materialized.
Zheng Shanjie, chairman of the NDRC, addressed the nation in a media briefing, reiterating that China is on track to achieve its 5% GDP growth target for the year.
However, while acknowledging the economy's challenges in the face of a &#8220;more complex and extreme&#8221; global environment, the only concrete measures announced were a front-loaded 100 billion yuan ($14.1 billion) budget from 2025 and another 100 billion yuan for construction projects. Investors had expected far more robust action, including trillions in new bond issuances and initiatives to stimulate consumption.
The muted response from Beijing rattled the markets. 
&#8220;While Chinese officials discussed hitting growth targets, they didn't address further stimulus measures. The markets want their lifeline!&#8221; wrote macroeconomist Ayesha Tariq, summarizing the frustration.
Goldman Sachs analyst Lisheng Wang highlighted that some investors had been expecting concrete stimulus measures ahead of the NDRC press conference, so the lack of any major announcements came as a letdown. 
&#8220;We believe any large stimulus package would require joint efforts from key ministries and significant fiscal resources,&#8221; Wang wrote, adding that major measures—such as a central government special bond issuance—could still be announced later in the year.
Goldman Sachs anticipates that China may approve an additional 1-2 trillion yuan in ultra-long-term government bonds by year-end to support debt swaps and maintain a fiscal easing stance in 2025.
Despite the initial disappointment, Goldman Sachs remains optimistic that further steps to boost domestic demand, stabilize inflation, and rebuild market confidence are still on the horizon.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Offshore Chinese Equities Tumble</h2>
Chinese stocks trading in offshore markets, such as those in Hong Kong and New York, were the hardest hit. 
These stocks are heavily owned by foreign investors, making them more sensitive to shifts in risk sentiment. The combination of profit-taking after weeks of gains and the lack of immediate fiscal stimulus sent these shares plummeting.
Shares of Chinese tech giants listed in Hong Kong—such as Tencent Holdings, Xiaomi, and electric vehicle maker BYD—fell more than 8%. Heavily indebted property developer Country Garden Services Holdings plummeted by 15%.
The selloff extended to U.S.-listed Chinese stocks during premarket trading on Tuesday, where major names tumbled sharply:
<ul>
<li>Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>) -10.4%</li>

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower after Chinese planning officials reportedly fell short of investor stimulus expectations.

The Chinese government's announcement of a 200 billion yuan ($28 billion) stimulus aimed at local investment projects fell short of market expectations, triggering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/10/41207862/stimulus-fueled-china-stock-rally-set-to-fizzle">sharp sell-off in major tech stocks</a>.
What Happened: The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China&#8217;s top planning agency, disclosed the allocation at a press conference on Tuesday, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/08/business/china-economy-ndrc-hnk-intl/index.html">reported</a> CNN. 
&#8220;We are confident in achieving the annual economic and social development goals and tasks, and in maintaining sustained, stable and healthy economic and social development,&#8221; said Zheng Shanjie, the commission&#8217;s chairman, according to the report.
China had set a 5% growth target in March. However, recent economic data has been concerning, raising fears that the target might not be met. The country&#8217;s economy is currently grappling with challenges such as a property crisis, weak consumer spending, and high youth unemployment.
To assist local governments dealing with significant debt burdens, Beijing will provide 100 billion yuan ($14 billion) from the central government&#8217;s budget, in addition to an extra 100 billion yuan for investment projects, Zheng stated.
Mainland China's CSI 300 surged over 10% at the open on Tuesday following its return from the Golden Week holiday, but the index pared back gains to close 5.93% higher at 4,256.1.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index initially plunged more than 10%, before moderating to a 9% loss by its final hour of trading.
Key Chinese tech stocks were hit hard:
<ul>
<li>Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) fell 8.93% in pre-market trading.</li>
<li>Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) dropped 8.32% to HK$ 438.60.</li>
<li>JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) saw a sharp decline of 11.32% in pre-market trading</li>
<li>Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) slipped 9.10% in pre-market trading.</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: The Chinese economy has been facing significant challenges, with the government implementing various measures to stimulate growth. In a recent move, the People&#8217;s Bank of China <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-24/china-cuts-bank-reserve-ratio-to-boost-economy-amid-property-woes">cut one of its main interest rates</a> and reduced the amount of cash banks are required to hold in reserve. 
The government also announced cash handouts to disadvantaged citizens and subsidies for recent graduates struggling to find employment.

Alibaba, Tencent, JD.com And Baidu Slide Over 8% As China's $28B Stimulus Boost Misses The Mark

Chinese stocks have been on a tear recently, surging higher by as much as 50% in some cases, following the Chinese government&#39;s announcement of a series of measures to stimulate the slowing economy. The rally has sparked immense excitement among investors, who now wonder if the uptrend will continue or if it&#39;s a temporary surge.&nbsp;
<h2>Stimulus Injects Optimism in Chinese Stocks</h2>
For months, Chinese equities had been underperforming due to many factors, including a sluggish economy, high interest rates, and a slow property market. As a result, many Chinese stocks were trading at depressed levels. That narrative shifted last week when Beijing began rolling out stimulus measures to combat the broader economic slowdown. Adding to the optimism was a recent announcement from China&#39;s central bank on Sunday, stating that it would instruct banks to lower mortgage rates for existing home loans by October 31. This move is part of a broader plan to support China&#39;s struggling real estate market, which has significantly affected the economy.
In conjunction with the central bank&#39;s move, Guangzhou, one of China&#39;s largest cities, announced the removal of all restrictions on home purchases. Similarly, Shanghai and Shenzhen also eased their respective curbs on buying properties. These sweeping reforms have contributed to the positive momentum, with Chinese equities posting substantial gains. For instance, the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (ARCA:FXI) jumped over 20% last month, with heavyweight companies like Alibaba and JD.com rallying 31% and 51%, respectively.
With this backdrop, the question is whether investors should chase the rally or wait for a pullback. While the economic stimulus has driven significant gains, some technical indicators suggest the rally could run out of steam in the short term. Let&#39;s dive into the technicals of two prominent dual-listed Chinese stocks, Alibaba and JD.com, to assess whether the risk-reward remains favorable for investors at these elevated levels.
<h2>Alibaba&#39;s 38% YTD Gain Marks a Turnaround for Long-Term Investors</h2>
Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>), China&#39;s internet retail giant, has seen a remarkable 31% surge over the past month, which has turned its year-to-date (YTD) performance positive, now up 38%. After enduring a prolonged period of underperformance, where the stock hovered near its 52-week lows for more than a year, the recent breakout has been a welcome change for long-term investors. The rally allowed BABA to break through resistance and finally escape its downtrend.
From a valuation standpoint, Alibaba remains appealing with a forward P/E of 11.17, positioning it as a solid long-term investment opportunity. However, in the short term, caution may be warranted. The stock&#39;s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed to 79, suggesting it has entered overbought territory. On Monday, the stock gave back some gains after initially gapping up, signaling that it might be digesting its recent move and possibly pulling back.
For investors with a long-term outlook, BABA still offers compelling value. However, it might be wise to exercise patience in the short term. The stock could find more attractive support closer to the $100 level, where it may stabilize before resuming its upward trajectory.
<h2>JD.com&#39;s Rapid Rally Signals Potential Pullback After RSI Hits 85</h2>
JD.com (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jd#NASDAQ">JD</a>), another consumer discretionary Chinese internet retail giant, has similarly exploded higher, with gains of 51% over the past month and 38% YTD. Like Alibaba, JD was trading near its 52-week lows before the recent surge, and the stock is now up 92% from those lows.
However, JD&#39;s rapid ascent has pushed its RSI to 85.67, which indicates extreme overbought conditions. This suggests a short-term pullback is highly likely, as stocks rarely maintain high RSI levels for extended periods without some price consolidation. A potential support area for JD could be in the $36-$38 range, where previous resistance might now serve as a floor.
Despite the likelihood of a pullback, JD remains an attractive long-term play. The company trades at a P/E of 14.55 and a forward P/E of 9.61, placing it firmly in value territory. Analysts are also bullish on JD, with 10 rating the stock a &quot;Buy&quot; and four as a Hold, resulting in a consensus Moderate Buy rating.

GRPN

SERV

By Rene Vanguestaine
It may have given long-suffering Chinese stocks in Hong Kong and the U.S. an adrenaline rush, something like giving a child sudden free rein in a candy store. But like the sugar rush that child will feel, the stock rally fueled by China&rsquo;s mega-booster stimulus package two weeks ago is overdone, unsustainable and is almost certain to fade, unless there are additional fiscal measures that fully address the fundamental issues in the economy.
China&rsquo;s weak economy isn&rsquo;t going to improve overnight, and what&rsquo;s really needed right now is time to see if some of the new measures will be effective. Let&rsquo;s not forget that China has announced numerous similar measures that ultimately had little or no effect over the past two years, most aimed at boosting consumer demand and propping up the ailing property market.
At the same time, none of the measures will help to address other factors that are dragging on the Chinese economy, like geopolitics, the potential for new regulatory crackdowns at any time and local governments&rsquo; huge debt loads.
The stimulus package that got everyone so excited was announced on Sept. 24 and was seen as a highly anticipated &ldquo;big bazooka&rdquo; awaited by many for more than a year. Nearly all the measures were based in monetary policy, including cuts in the reserve requirement ratio for banks and lower interest rates.
The package also included several specific measures to support the property market, such as a cut in interest rates for existing mortgages and a reduction in the minimum downpayment requirement for home purchases. It also included several steps aimed specifically at supporting stock markets, including making 500 billion yuan ($71.2 billion) available to finance stock purchases by institutional investors and another 300 billion yuan to support company stock buyback programs.
Initial reaction to the package was mixed in the investment community, with some arguing that still more was needed. But the markets didn&rsquo;t seem to care, as investors embarked on a buying frenzy that saw the benchmark Hang Seng Index rise 18% in the five trading days after the announcement. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index rose by nearly 20% over that time, approaching a technical bull market in just a matter of days.
<h3>Beaten Down</h3>
Granted, Chinese stocks have been beaten down for about three years now, following the ultimately aborted New York IPO by DiDi Global in 2021. As a result, they have been vastly undervalued compared with global peers. For example, leading Chinese e-commerce companies Alibaba (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/baba#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jd#NASDAQ">JD</a>) now trade at relatively low P/E ratios of 29 and 16, respectively, even after the recent rally, both well behind the 44 for Amazon (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
The large new package obviously touches on several weak points in the economy. But Chinese consumers will need to feel much better about their financial wealth as well as employment and wage security to really boost the consumption that&rsquo;s needed to get the economy back on track.
Part of that will require job creation, including improvement in youth unemployment that is already high and continues to rise. It will also require income increases to make people more confident in the future. That could be hard to do in the current environment where salaries are being cut and previous bonuses even clawed back as China teeters on the brink of deflation.
China will also need to convince its increasingly despondent entrepreneurs that it&rsquo;s still possible and worth it to build a business in the country. That will mean finding ways to show that the regulatory crackdowns that cast a chill over China&rsquo;s private sector during the last three years are finally finished, or at least scaled back, and that there will be concrete actions to support the private sector in a centrally controlled economy that increasingly favors the state sector.
Then there is the property crisis, which is a direct result of the huge overbuilding of China&rsquo;s real estate market using large amounts of debt. This issue will take a long time and more than just lower downpayments to be meaningfully solved.
And there&rsquo;s also the issue of huge local government debt &ndash; largely the result of big spending on Covid controls during the pandemic, unbridled infrastructure building over the last two decades, and the real estate crisis. Lowering interest rates and home downpayments will hardly do much to address the latter, which is weighing heavily on local investment.
In the meantime, geopolitical issues that are putting a drag on exports and foreign investment in China aren&rsquo;t going away anytime soon. Things will only get worse in the run-up to the U.S. election next month, as both major parties agree on the China threat. Europe will also remain unhappy with China over its perception of unfair government support for Chinese exports, as well as Beijing&rsquo;s support for Russia&rsquo;s war against Ukraine.
In the end, verbal assurances, even from the very top, and another run at micro managing the stock market are not enough to fix China&rsquo;s problems. That will make it hard for stocks to keep up their recent rally and could even see the markets shift into reverse if investors decide to pocket some of their recent gains after three years of suffering.

Stimulus-Fueled China Stock Rally Set To Fizzle?

Chinese e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) maintained its stimulus-driven rally Monday.
As per SCMP, John Choi of&nbsp;Daiwa Securities&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41188176/whats-going-on-with-chinese-stocks-alibaba-jd-nio-li-auto-xpeng-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects e-commerce companies</a> to be the key beneficiaries of further stimulus measures, which were trading below their three- and five-year averages.
The rally reflects improved investor sentiment backed by Beijing&#8217;s stimulus measures and strong fund inflows into Chinese and Hong Kong equity markets, aiding the chip sector, the Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/chinese-semiconductor-stocks-extend-rally-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-c315c062?mod=tech_lead_story" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

China&#8217;s semiconductor sector has suffered since the pandemic erupted in 2020. The pandemic disrupted its supply chains and prompted the world to rethink its dependence on the Asian country for semiconductor chips for smartphones, cars, PCs, and other electronic gadgets.
The U.S. semiconductor sanctions on China further hampered its prospects. The embargo made it difficult for Chinese hyperscalars like Alibaba and peers to procure the sophisticated AI chips made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) for Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), impeding the country&#8217;s progress.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), are trading higher Monday in anticipation of higher stimulus as the country returns from the National Day holidays.

US Listed Chinese Stocks Dominate Another Week - Li Auto, JD.com Among Top 10 Large Cap Gainers Last Week (Sept 30-Oct 4): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), the China tech industry barometer, is trading higher, marking its third week of gains as investors anticipate more upcoming stimulus, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/business/markets/article/3281013/hong-kong-stocks-resume-rally-alibaba-tencent-lead-tech-gainers" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Alibaba&#8217;s e-commerce rivals, including PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), saw gains on Friday.
In September, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41141541/whats-going-on-with-chinese-stocks-alibaba-nio-xpeng-li-auto-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s central bank</a> shared plans to slash banks&#8217; reserve requirement ratio (RRR) by 50 basis points or half a percentage point and reduce the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.7% to spur domestic spending. Additionally, China agreed to let&nbsp;homeowners refinance mortgages.

John Choi of Daiwa Securities told the SCMP that stocks are trading below their three- and five-year averages. He expects e-commerce companies to be the key beneficiaries of further stimulus measures.
China&#8217;s stimulus package on September 24 restored over $3 trillion in market value to Chinese stocks in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and New York, SCMP cites Bloomberg data.
Alibaba stock gained 37% in the last 30 days. JD is up over 66%, Baidu 33% and PDD 65%.
The upcoming holiday shopping season also poses a tailwind for e-commerce stocks. Alibaba <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41045187/alibaba-follows-amazon-and-walmart-pours-5-7b-into-holiday-sales-push" rel="noreferrer noopener">earmarked 40 billion yuan</a> ($5.7 billion) in resources for Taobao and Tmall to tap the&nbsp;Singles&#8217; Day&nbsp;shopping festival on November 11.

China has been battling a weak economy due to its export reliance and an aging population. The 2020 pandemic disrupted China&#8217;s semiconductor supply chains, triggering a crisis for semiconductor chips that go into smartphones, PCs, other electronic devices, and cars.
The intense domestic regulatory crackdown on the Chinese hyperscalars in the same year further added to the woes. The regulatory scrutiny cost Alibaba the initial public offering of its fintech affiliate Ant Group and severe ties with co-founder Jack Ma.
China&#8217;s property crisis posed an additional headwind. The real estate sector accounted for 25%-30% of the country&#8217;s GDP, Reuters reports. However, average home values tumbled from their 2021 highs after a regulatory crackdown on excessive debt among developers in 2020, leading to severe cash crunches, incomplete projects, defaults, and public protests by homebuyers.
China&#8217;s supply chain disruption prompted the U.S., Europe, and Japan to consolidate their semiconductor positions by ending their reliance on China.
China was the leading integrated circuit (IC) customer, accounting for 36% of U.S. semiconductor sales in 2022, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.citigroup.com/global/insights/who-s-winning-the-us-china-chip-war-" rel="noreferrer noopener">Citi</a>. The leading semiconductor market represented 31.4% of global final sales, or $180 billion out of $574 billion in 2022, according to Citi.
Additionally, the U.S. imposed semiconductor sanctions on China, citing national security reasons, cutting it off from advanced artificial intelligence chips and further restricting its growth prospects.
In August, China&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40650893/alibaba-clears-3-year-regulatory-antitrust-scrutiny-stock-gains" rel="noreferrer noopener">signaled an end</a> to its regulatory crackdown on hyperscalars like Alibaba. The regulator fined Alibaba $2.8 billion in 2021, which amounted to 4% of the e-commerce juggernaut&#8217;s 2019 revenue.

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading higher as the sector rebounds following Thursday's selloff. Strength may be due to the recent stimulus package and the Golden Week holidays.

China stocks are taking a breather on Thursday after staging an impressive rally in recent weeks on the back of mounting stimulus optimism. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41159910/these-us-listed-chinese-stocks-set-to-surge-amid-beijings-new-stimulus-plan-citi">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What To Know: Chinese indices ended their 13-day win steak on Thursday as markets tilted to risk-off amid rising concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">ongoing Middle East tensions</a>, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-03/pause-in-china-rally-sparks-wider-drop-in-emerging-market-stocks?srnd=phx-latest&amp;sref=TBDibEcD&amp;embedded-checkout=true">Bloomberg</a>. 
China reportedly added $3.45 trillion in shareholder wealth over the past two weeks as China stocks saw their biggest fund inflows in two decades. 
The surge in Chinese stocks came after China announced its most aggressive stimulus measures since the pandemic and promised that it would deploy &#8220;necessary fiscal spending&#8221; to meet its economic growth target of 5%.
Chinese stocks continued to climb after China announced over the weekend that it would allow for the refinancing of mortgages, giving home buyers immediate benefits from lower interest rates.
The moves out of China represent the country&#8217;s latest attempts to revive an economy that has battled deflationary pressures and growth headwinds due to property declines and wavering consumer confidence.
Several U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are pulling back Thursday including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). All of the aforementioned names were down roughly 5% at the time of writing. Despite the pullback, Alibaba and Baidu shares are still up about 40% over the past month, while JD is up about 70% and PDD Holdings is up about 65%. 
China-based EV names were also seeing weakness. NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) was down 5.13% at $6.84, XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) was down 5.17% at $12.65 and Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>) was down 4.08% at $26.68 at the time of writing.

Why It Matters: Bloomberg reported that Chinese markets are reacting to rising concerns over a potentially widening war in the Middle East. The tensions pose several threats to emerging markets, which has dampened optimism around China&#8217;s recent stimulus push. 
"The conflict definitely weighs on sentiment but may have different fundamental impacts across emerging-market countries," said Fredrik Bjelland, portfolio manager of the Skagen Kon-Tiki emerging-market fund. 
"In the short term, I would expect any negative impact to first be geographically linked but on a longer-term horizon to be more fundamentally linked. An elevated risk premium in the oil market could have consequences for import-dependent countries."
Although China stocks are taking a breather on Thursday, analysts largely remain positive. HSBC upgraded Chinese stocks to Overweight, noting that it&#8217;s still &#8220;not too late&#8221; to jump in, while Morgan Stanley suggested China stocks could rally another 10% to 15% from current levels.

China Stocks Are Cooling Off Thursday: What's Going On?

Chinese e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and rival JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) are aggressively fighting for market share in Hong Kong.
The companies waived delivery fees for certain orders and boosted related services like local product returns in Hong Kong, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3280951/alibaba-jdcom-take-e-commerce-battle-hong-kong-mainland-china-market-matures?module=Tech%20Trends&amp;pgtype=section" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The stocks are trading lower Thursday after a rally led by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41141541/whats-going-on-with-chinese-stocks-alibaba-nio-xpeng-li-auto-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s stimulus plans</a>.

Alibaba committed 1 billion yuan ($142 million) to boost its online retail platform Taobao&#8217;s offerings in Hong Kong. This is part of a campaign to ship orders above 99 yuan for free to one of the city&#8217;s more than 800 self-pickup stations.
JD.com earmarked 1.5 billion yuan to roll out new services in Hong Kong, including free door-to-door deliveries for specific orders above 299 yuan.
E-commerce consultant Jacob Cooke told SCMP that Hong Kong&#8217;s proximity and relatively low e-commerce penetration rate make it an attractive growth market.
Cooke also flagged the higher cost of operating in Hong Kong, which poses a challenge in efficiently scaling logistics.
Due to lackluster domestic demand, Alibaba and its rivals had already waged a price war in China in the e-commerce and cloud businesses.
Price Actions: At the last check on Thursday, BABA stock was down 4.27% at $110.33 in the premarket session. JD was down 4.87%.

Alibaba and JD.com Battle for Hong Kong Shoppers, Stocks Slide After Stimulus Rally

ATGL

KXIN

NOAH

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower as the sector pulls back from recent strength. These companies rallied after the People's Bank of China announced a new stimulus package ahead of the Golden Week holidays.

MMTec, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTC#NASDAQ">MTC</a>) shares are moving higher on Wednesday on continued strength in Chinese stocks after China&#8217;s Central Bank announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41097864/china-stocks-jump-as-stimulus-optimism-mounts-whats-going-on">stimulus measures</a> last week. 
Additionally National Day Golden Week, a week long public holiday, kicked off on Tuesday.
What To Know: The bank&#8217;s stimulus measures include a cut to the reserve requirement ratio by 0.5 percentage points, lowering the loan prime rate and deposit rates by 0.2 to 0.25 percentage points and decreasing the seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5%.
Capital Economics chief Asia Economist Mark Williams told Reuters that the package, &#8220;would lift annual output by 0.4% relative to what it would otherwise have been. It&#8217;s late in the year, but a new package of this size that was implemented soon should be enough to deliver growth in line with the &#8216;around 5%&#8217; target.&#8221;
Traditionally, China sees an increase in tourism during the week long holiday leading to a boost in China&#8217;s economy. However, the recent slowness in the country&#8217;s economy may lead to lower travel related spending throughout the holiday.
Besides MMTEC, other US-listed Chinese stocks are also moving higher on Wednesday following the bank&#8217;s stimulus measures, including JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>).

By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for MMTEC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTC#NASDAQ">MTC</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
