China’s internet sector has underperformed since the beginning of the year, in wake of several investor concerns, including rising AI-related spending and earnings risks from disruption wrought by AI agents; ongoing regulatory scrutiny, coupled with geopolitical uncertainties, particularly more companies being added to the US list of Chinese military companies; and weak consumer sentiment, HSBC Global Investment Research said in a report.

While some factors may continue to exert pressure in the near term, opportunities remain in stocks with immediate catalysts. In addition, large-cap Chinese internet stocks are trading at a 47% PE discount relative to their US peers, while Chinese AI-related stocks are at a 40% PE discount.

The broker believed recent concerns over a potential token price war in MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) may be overdone. The MaaS business is now significantly undervalued in BABA-W (09988.HK)’s share price. Based on an ARR of USD1.5 billion in June and 21x P/ARR, the potential value could reach USD13 per share.
