Alibaba Stock Prediction Indicates Almost 19% Upside by Morgan Stanley Analyst
Share buyback bonanza
The analyst behind the somewhat askew recommendation/price target combination is the investment bank's Gary Yu. In early April, in a new research note, he reiterated his equal weight (read: hold) tag on Alibaba stock and $85 per American Depositary Share (ADS) price target. The latter is nearly 19% higher than the Asian tech giant's most recent closing ADS price.
Difficult past, uncertain future
Alibaba has had a rough few years, with the pandemic dragging out in China and the country's government making clear attempts to curb the company's power and influence. Meanwhile, management has (so far unrealized) plans to split into six separate businesses, so its future is rather hazy these days.
