<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China Brings Out The Big Guns&nbsp;</h3>
As ZeroHedge reported on Thursday, &#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-bazooka-moment-arrives-here-are-3-most-important-message-xis-shock-and-awe-politburo">China&#8217;s Bazooka Moment</a>&#8221; has arrived. China&#8217;s expanded stimulus measures include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>A September politburo meeting focused on economic measures. According to&nbsp;Goldman strategist Lu Sun, economics is rarely the focus of a September meeting, so this is extraordinary.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China issuing&nbsp;¥2 trillion in government bonds (equivalent to 1.7% of its GDP), with half of those proceeds earmarked for consumption-related subsidies.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China injecting&nbsp;¥1 trillion into state-owned backs to boost their Tier-1 capital.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
In light of that, here are four bets on China we&#8217;ve placed in the Portfolio Armor trading Substack, starting with a brief update on the one I mentioned here earlier this week.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Four Trades That Could Benefit From China&#8217;s Bazooka Moment</h3>
Qifu Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QFIN#NASDAQ">QFIN</a>). This is essentially the Chinese version of Lending Club (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>). Our trade here was buying the $25 strike calls on QFIN expiring on January 17th for $2. Those were trading for $4.70 as of Thursday&#8217;s close, so you might want to go a little further out of the money if you are buying now. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-chinese-fintech"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="833" height="732" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1515" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1.jpg 833w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1-300x264.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1-768x675.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px" /></a></figure>
X Financial&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYF#NYSE">XYF</a>). Like QFIN, X offers a peer-to-peer lending platform in China, but X also offers other consumer financial products such as insurance. We bought the underlying shares on this one at $3.95 earlier this year. It closed at $5.45 on Thursday, but probably still has more room to run with the stimulus tailwind.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-china-update"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="826" height="775" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1516" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2.jpg 826w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2-300x281.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2-768x721.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px" /></a></figure>
Hello Group Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOMO#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>). This is a profitable Chinese social media company, which includes a dating app similar to those of&nbsp;America&#8217;s Match Group, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>).&nbsp;It also has non-dating apps related to karaoke, etc. This might be the deepest value of the names mentioned here so far, as it currently trades at 0.83x tangible book. Our trade here was buying the $7 strike calls expiring on January 17th for $0.70. Those were trading at $0.85 as of Thursday&#8217;s close.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-top-names-aee"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="833" height="736" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1517" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3.jpg 833w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3-300x265.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3-768x679.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px" /></a></figure>
PDD Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). This Chinese company combines elements of America&#8217;s&nbsp;Amazon.com, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and&nbsp;Groupon, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRPN#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>). Our trade here was buying a $140-$145 call spread expiring on December 20th for $1.60. As of Thursday&#8217;s close, the midpoint on that spread was $1.10. To be honest, I had mentally written off this trade after the company&#8217;s weak guidance last quarter, but it spiked 13.57% on Thursday. Despite that, it still looks cheap, with a valuation rating of 9 (out of 10) according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chartmill.com/stock/quote/PDD/fundamental-analysis?a=221937">Chartmill</a>.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens When The Effects Of China&#8217;s Stimulus End? </h3>
Each of those names should benefit at least as long as the tailwind from China&#8217;s stimulus measures lasts.&nbsp;

Benchmark Maintains Buy on Hello Gr, Lowers Price Target to $13

Hello Group Inc. Sponsored ADR (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/momo#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.33 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.30 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.43 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 10%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.04, delivering a surprise of -87.88%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Momo, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $370.35 million for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.66%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $432.71 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Momo shares have lost about 4.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 18.4%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for Momo?</h2>
While Momo has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Momo: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.32 on $368.73 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.92 on $1.46 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Software is currently in the top 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Samsara Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/iot#NYSE">IOT</a>), is yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2024. The results are expected to be released on September 5.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Samsara Inc.&#39;s revenues are expected to be $289.35 million, up 32% from the year-ago quarter.

Hello Group, Zscaler And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Arlo Technologies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arlo#NYSE">ARLO</a>) shares rallied 19.7% in the last trading session to close at $16.52. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock&#39;s 4.7% gain over the past four weeks.
Arlo is benefiting from its AI-powered subscription service surpassing 4 million paid accounts, reflecting the value consumers place on its subscription plans and service business.
This maker of smart connected devices is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.09 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +50%. Revenues are expected to be $124.75 million, up 8.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Arlo Technologies, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock&#39;s price usually doesn&#39;t keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on ARLO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Arlo Technologies is a member of the Zacks Internet - Software industry. One other stock in the same industry, Hello Group Inc. Sponsored ADR (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/momo#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>), finished the last trading session 7.9% higher at $6.61. MOMO has returned 8.5% over the past month.
Momo&#39;s consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.40. Compared to the company&#39;s year-ago EPS, this represents a change of -7%. Momo currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #5 (Strong Sell).

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

By Doug Young
Has the flame finally gone out in the &ldquo;Tinder of China&rdquo;?
Investors may be starting to feel that way, after&nbsp;Hello Group Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/momo#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>) reported its latest quarterly results that showed nearly all of its key metrics continued to drop in this year&rsquo;s first quarter, led by accelerating revenue declines for one of China&rsquo;s oldest dating apps.
Investors dumped the stock to the tune of a 14% decline on Tuesday after the company&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hello-group-inc-announces-unaudited-financial-results-for-the-first-quarter-of-2024-302156503.html">latest results announcement</a>, sending it to a one-and-a-half year low. The shares rebounded somewhat the next day, reflecting the love-hate relationship investors have with this company, which is still a cash cow due to its status as the leader in China&rsquo;s huge dating market.
Notably, Hello Group&rsquo;s stock has been left behind in the recent rally for U.S.-listed Chinese shares that has lifted the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI.US) more than 20% from a low in late January, as investors become bullish on the group after more than two years of neglect.
Woes at the company, whose revenue has been in continuous decline since 2019, owe at least partly to factors beyond its control. Three years of tough pandemic restrictions dampened the mood for dating among the many young users of the company&rsquo;s apps, including its industry-leading Momo. Since the pandemic&rsquo;s end, weak consumer sentiment has continued to dampen demand as China&rsquo;s economy slows sharply after a three-decade boom.
Last, but certainly not least, growing numbers of Chinese are simply not interested in dating or marriage these days &ndash; a reality that shows up in the country&rsquo;s plunging birth rates.
With so many macro factors working against it, it&rsquo;s not too surprising that Hello Group is having difficulty finding and keeping an audience. Added to that are company-specific factors, most notably Hello Group&rsquo;s disastrous purchase of its other major app, Tantan, back in 2018. Once billed as a key future growth driver, Tantan quickly became just the opposite and has been sinking fast ever since. Hello Group was also tripped up by regulatory issues in 2019 when its popular livestreaming service came under government scrutiny for containing pornography.
The company has tried to escape the turbulence in its home China market by expanding abroad. Its global expansion, most notably to Turkey and the Middle East, has been one of the few positive notes in its most recent reports. Most of that has come from Hello Group&rsquo;s new apps, with names like Duidui, Hertz and Soulchill.
Revenue from those new apps, which are mostly focused on overseas markets, grew 51% in the first quarter to 344 million yuan ($47.5 million), accounting for 13% of the company&rsquo;s total revenue for the period, it said on its first-quarter earnings call. That increase contrasted sharply with the Hello Group&rsquo;s overall revenue, which contracted 9.2% year-on-year to 2.56 billion yuan from 2.82 billion yuan a year earlier.
The latest revenue decline rate marked an acceleration from the last two quarters, when the figure dipped by around 6%. Making matters worse, the company forecast its revenue would fall about 14% in the second quarter, representing a further acceleration of the decline rate.
<h3>Investor Turnoff</h3>
Despite all the gloom, Hello Group continues to be quite profitable, partly due to its market-leading position and also its strict cost controls. The company&rsquo;s costs and expenses fell 12% year-on-year in the first quarter, outpacing its revenue decline rate. As a result, its operating income rose 5.5% during the quarter to 460 million yuan.
The company&rsquo;s bottom line wasn&rsquo;t so pretty, with its net income plunging to just 5.2 million yuan in the latest quarter from 390 million yuan a year earlier. But most of that was due to a one-time tax expense in the latest quarter, company officials explained on the earnings call. Excluding that, the company&rsquo;s non-GAAP net income, which typically excludes stock-based employee compensation, would have risen 8% to 508.5 million yuan.
That combination of relatively high profits and sinking investor confidence has been quite toxic for Hello Group&rsquo;s valuation, with the stock currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 4.9. That&rsquo;s less than half the 13 for&nbsp;Match Group&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mtch#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), owner of Tinder, and shows just how out of love investors have fallen with Hello Group.
Despite all the gloom, there were still a few slightly encouraging signs in Hello Group&rsquo;s latest report. We&rsquo;ve already mentioned the global expansion, which is rapidly becoming an important new engine to this otherwise growth-challenged company.
Another intriguing boost could be coming on the policy front, as China worries about its plunging birthrates and aging population. The nation has begun rolling out a wide range of incentives for people to get married and have more children, and Hello Group hinted that such measures could ultimately benefit the company.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re seeing some positive policy changes at the top,&rdquo; said CFO Peng Hui on the call, without elaborating. &ldquo;However, how effectively and quickly those policy changes will get filtered down into the consumer behavior in general, and more specifically into user spending on our platform, that, at this point, it&rsquo;s &ndash; I think it&rsquo;s still too early to tell. We&rsquo;ll see as the year progresses.&rdquo;
Like many other tech companies, Hello Group is also experimenting with artificial intelligence to draw users to its apps. As an example, officials said on the call that the company is experimenting with AI that can &ldquo;suggest ice-breaking topics to users by analyzing the image and text information on the potential (dating) candidate&rsquo;s profile page.&rdquo;
There wasn&rsquo;t any talk of AI-generated virtual soulmates, though perhaps that&rsquo;s somewhere down the road.
Analysts don&rsquo;t see any fast turnaround for Hello Group&rsquo;s sinking revenue, forecasting the figure will drop 11% this year before finally returning to a growth track in 2025. They have actually become more bullish on the company&rsquo;s depressed stock lately, with 15 out of 16 surveyed by Yahoo Finance in May rating it a &ldquo;buy&rdquo; or &ldquo;strong buy,&rdquo; up from just 8 who gave it similarly strong ratings of 14 surveyed in April. Perhaps that shows that sentiment may be turning back in favor of this wallflower company as it struggles to find some love from investors.
