China's Internet Stocks Seen Attractive Despite Recent Weakness -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-25 12:21

0421 GMT - China's internet stocks are still considered worth buying despite recent weakness, according to BofA Securities analysts in a research note. China's underperformance year-to-date has been led by the internet sector, with Hang Seng Tech Index down about 15%, they point out. "It reflects a top-down global de-rating of software and adjacent internet sectors amid AI disruptions, as well as bottom-up earnings disappointment and competitive pressure," the analysts say. That said, BofA believes China's largest internet platforms have the real moats in the AI era, as they operate important payment and telecommunication functions. BofA analysts see an opportunity to buy Chinese Internet leading players' stocks at a low level, as their core businesses have limited risks, while AI provides a bonus for future growth.
