全球知名资产管理公司Baillie Gifford认为，中国科技巨头的前景现在更多取决于本土消费者情绪，而非关税政策。 7月10日，据媒体报道，Baillie Gifford首席执行官兼管理合伙人Tim Campbell在接受采访时表示，"中国消费者的实际状况比与美国的关税协议重 要得多"。中国对美出口规模不到中国零售销售总额的十分之一，本土消费市场的重要性远超贸易摩擦。 他认为，中国经济正经历类似现代发达经济体的正常经济周期，政策制定者有充分选择来管理这一过程。 在全球层面，Baillie Gifford正押注其认为具备适应性的企业，例如亚马逊和韩国电商企业Coupang，预计它们将在特朗普关税政策可能造成的经 济冲击后变得更加强大。 该基金管理公司爱丁堡合伙人Gavin Scott表示，这一判断基于2008年全球金融危机的经验。他表示： "各行业中最强大的企业会因此而蓬勃发展，因为它们的竞争地位变得更加强大。" Baillie Gifford旗下长期全球增长基金过去一年回报率达23%，跑赢95%的同类基金，同期标普500指数涨幅仅为13%。 风险提示及免责条款 市场有风险，投资需谨慎。本文不构成个人投资建 ...

Core Viewpoint - HSBC's latest report indicates that Alibaba will continue to increase investments in instant retail and food delivery services in the coming quarters, which may significantly impact short-term profitability, but these factors are already reflected in the stock price. The strong growth momentum in cloud computing and leading position in AI provide long-term value support. HSBC maintains a "Buy" rating on Alibaba but lowers the target price from $176 to $150, indicating a potential upside of 38.9% from the current stock price of $107.99 [1][9]. Investment and Market Competition - Since April 2024, competition in food delivery and instant retail has intensified, with Meituan launching a three-year support plan worth 100 billion RMB and JD.com initiating a one-year subsidy project worth 10 billion RMB. In contrast, Alibaba's food delivery subsidy plan, launched on July 2, is worth 50 billion RMB and comes relatively late [1][4]. Market Share Growth - Alibaba's market share in the food delivery and instant retail sectors has rapidly increased from over 20% in 2024 to 36% as of July 5, 2025, while Meituan holds 55% and JD.com 9%. This growth is attributed to the integration of Ele.me and Fliggy into Taobao and Tmall, leadership consolidation, aggressive subsidy strategies, and traffic support [4]. Financial Projections - HSBC has raised Alibaba's revenue forecasts for FY26-28 by 3-8%, reflecting accelerated growth in instant retail and food delivery order volumes, but has lowered profit expectations by 7-22%. For FY26, Alibaba is expected to incur losses of 2.7 RMB per order in food delivery and 3.7 RMB per order in instant shopping, with an overall loss of 55 billion RMB in local lifestyle services [11][12]. Cloud Computing Outlook - HSBC remains optimistic about Alibaba's cloud computing business, projecting over 20% year-on-year growth in cloud revenue for FY26, driven by strong AI demand. Although quarterly fluctuations in gross margin may occur, it is expected to maintain a high single-digit level [13]. AI Market Position - Alibaba ranks first in the generative AI infrastructure as a service (GenAI IaaS) market, with a market share of 23.5% in the second half of 2024. IDC forecasts a compound annual growth rate of over 60% for the GenAI IaaS market from 2024 to 2027, positioning Alibaba to benefit significantly from its leading scale, strong product capabilities, and large enterprise customer base [19]. Upcoming Earnings Expectations - Alibaba is expected to announce its Q1 FY26 results in August, with projected sales revenue growth of 4% year-on-year, customer management revenue growth of 11%, and cloud computing revenue growth of 23%. However, adjusted EBITA is expected to decline by 15% year-on-year to 38.3 billion RMB, with a profit margin of 15%, down 3.4 percentage points year-on-year [23].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report recommends a long position for all four major stock index futures contracts (IH, IF, IM, IC) and suggests buying out - of - the - money long - term call options on stock indices [1][2][3]. 2. Report's Core View - The market is expected to evolve into a trending upward market. The governance of low - price and disorderly competition among enterprises is likely to boost the performance of listed companies, and international funds are expected to flow into A - shares due to the "de - Americanization" of global financial asset reallocation. Although the Shanghai Composite Index had a short - term pullback, the medium - and long - term outlook is optimistic [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs **Market Review** - On Wednesday, the major stock indices in the two markets were strong first and then weak. The Shanghai Composite Index fluctuated above 3500 points and declined after 14:00. The innovative drug sector led the gains. The total trading volume of the two markets was 1.50 trillion yuan, with little change. The CSI 1000 Index closed at 6390 points, down 17 points or - 0.27%; the CSI 500 Index closed at 5953 points, down 24 points or - 0.41%; the SSE 50 Index closed at 2739 points, down 7 points or - 0.26%; the SSE 300 Index closed at 3991 points, down 7 points or - 0.18%. The CSI 1000, CSI 500, SSE 300, and SSE 50 index futures saw net outflows of 80, 37, 31, and 4 billion yuan in settled funds respectively [1]. **Important Information** - The Economic Daily stated that breaking "involution" means returning the market to fair competition. When enterprises shift from low - price competition to competing in technology, user understanding, and market creation, they can move up the value chain [1]. - National Development and Reform Commission Director Zheng Shanjie said that during the "14th Five - Year Plan" period, China's GDP continuously exceeded 110, 120, and 130 trillion yuan, and this year's economic volume is expected to reach about 140 trillion yuan [1]. - In June, the consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.1% year - on - year, up from a decline in the previous month, and decreased by 0.1% month - on - month, with a narrower decline than the previous month [1]. - The A - H premium converged, and the Hong Kong stock market showed a valuation premium. Foreign investors still have a large demand for Chinese core assets. As of June 30, the A - H premium in the Shanghai - Shenzhen - Hong Kong market fell below 130%, similar to the level in early 2021 [1]. - Goldman Sachs pointed out that the Chinese software market continued the strong development momentum of AI - native applications in Q2 2025, with intelligent agents, multi - modal AI models, and model deployment as the three core growth engines [1]. - JD Takeaway launched the "Double - Hundred Plan", investing over 10 billion yuan to support more brand products to achieve sales of over one million [1]. - US Commerce Secretary Luttner is expected to meet with Chinese officials in early August to discuss trade issues [1]. - OPEC+ unexpectedly increased production, but oil prices did not fall, indicating that the global oil supply - demand balance is more tense than the surface data shows [2]. - Tether Holdings SA, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, stores about $8 billion worth of gold in a Swiss vault, making it the largest gold holder outside banks and national institutions [2]. - The US Treasury plans to increase the cash reserve in the general account from about $313 billion on July 3 to $500 billion by the end of July and to $85 billion by September [2]. - US President Trump announced a 50% tariff on copper imports, causing the US copper futures price to soar 13% to a record high [2]. - The spread between US junk bonds and Treasury bonds has dropped to a record low of about 2.88 percentage points, indicating strong investor confidence in the economic outlook [2]. **Market Logic** - The major stock indices in the two markets were strong first and then weak on Wednesday. China's economic volume is expected to reach about 140 trillion yuan this year. The A - H premium converged, and foreign investors have a large demand for Chinese core assets. The US imposing tariffs on Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia benefits China's exports. Goldman Sachs expects Chinese listed companies to pay a total of 3 trillion yuan in dividends by the end of 2025 [2]. **Outlook for the Future Market** - The market is expected to evolve into a trending upward market. The "de - Americanization" of global financial asset reallocation may accelerate international funds flowing into A - shares. The central government's measures to promote a unified national market and regulate low - price competition are expected to boost the performance of listed companies. The short - term pullback of the Shanghai Composite Index does not affect the medium - and long - term optimism [2]. **Trading Strategies** - For stock index futures directional trading, given the expected improvement in listed company performance and the potential for a trending upward market, it is recommended to be bullish on the four major stock index futures contracts [2]. - For stock index option trading, as the market is expected to turn into a trending upward market, it is recommended to buy long - term out - of - the - money call options on stock indices [3].

Core Viewpoint - The recent subsidy war in the food delivery market is essentially a disguised price war, which may benefit consumers and increase orders temporarily, but ultimately leads to irrational consumption and diluted profits for merchants, as well as fatigue for delivery personnel.
