10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

The People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBOC) has executed an unscheduled lending operation at significantly lower rates, indicating a potential increase in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39878618/whats-going-on-with-alibaba-and-other-chinese-stocks-on-monday">monetary stimulus to support the economy</a>.
What Happened: The PBOC conducted a medium-term lending facility (MLF) operation, issuing 200 billion yuan ($27.5 billion) in one-year loans at a rate of 2.30%, a 20 basis point decrease from the previous MLF loan, Reuters reported. This move follows the bank&#8217;s decision to cut several benchmark lending rates just days after a key leadership meeting that outlined major reforms.
The central bank also injected 235.1 billion yuan into the market through seven-day reverse repos at 1.70%. This cash injection was intended to &#8220;maintain reasonably ample month-end banking system liquidity conditions,&#8221; according to the bank&#8217;s statement.
Market analysts, including Xing Zhaopeng from ANZ, attribute the MLF rate cut to sharp declines in China&#8217;s stock markets. The Hang Seng China Enterprises index in Hong Kong fell 1.6%, reflecting concerns over deflationary pressures and weak consumer demand.

&#8220;It shows the PBOC wants to be more accommodating to banks in lowering their medium-term funding costs,&#8221; said Gary Ng, Asia Pacific senior economist at Natixis.
&#8220;The fact that PBOC didn&#8217;t wait for the Fed to cut first indicates that the government recognizes the downward pressure on China&#8217;s economy,&#8221; said Zhang Zhiwei, president and chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management.
Why It Matters: The latest move by the PBOC comes amid a series of economic challenges facing China. Recently, Chinese stocks, including Alibaba Group Holding Limited. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), PDD Holdings Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), and JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), saw a boost after China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39878618/whats-going-on-with-alibaba-and-other-chinese-stocks-on-monday">lowered key interest rates</a> to stimulate the economy. This decision was driven by weak growth in the second quarter, looming deflation, and a prolonged property crisis.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve has also been hinting at potential rate cuts. Last week, New York Federal Reserve President John Williams suggested that a rate cut could be imminent if the recent slowdown in inflation persists. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell also noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/07/39779256/powell-praises-latest-inflation-progress-hints-at-imminent-rate-cuts-warns-hes-ve">recent inflation data</a> has bolstered confidence in achieving the Fed's 2% inflation target.
Furthermore, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook emphasized that the central bank is prepared to act swiftly if the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39721845/federal-reserves-lisa-cook-foresees-swift-response-to-unemployment-surge-following-jerome-powells-te">unemployment rate surges</a>, indicating a responsive approach to economic changes.
The upcoming FOMC meeting, scheduled for Jul. 31, is just six days away. According to the CME FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, nearly 7% of traders believe the target rate probabilities will be between 5% and 5.25%.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and peer Chinese technology stocks are trading lower Monday after China's economy grew slower than expected in the second quarter, with a protracted property downturn and job insecurity stalling recovery efforts.
The world's second-largest economy expanded by 4.7% from April to June, missing the 5.1% forecast by analysts and marking its slowest growth since Q1 2023.
Alibaba's domestic rivals, including PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Bilibili Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BILI#NASDAQ">BILI</a>), are trading lower on Monday following the dismal macro report.
The report also hit Chinese electric vehicle stocks, including NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>).

The consumer sector is particularly concerned, where retail sales growth has slowed to an 18-month low due to deflationary pressures forcing price cuts on cars, food, and clothing.
"Overall, the disappointing GDP data shows that the road to hitting the 5% growth target remains challenging," said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING, Reuters reports.
The ongoing property crisis worsened in June as new home prices dropped at the fastest pace in nine years, weakening consumer confidence.
This decline in property prices has also constrained local governments' ability to generate revenue through land sales, making economic recovery more difficult.
Analysts anticipate more policy easing, especially in the fiscal and housing sectors, to counteract the slowdown.
Goldman Sachs reduced its forecast for China's 2024 growth from 5.0% to 4.9%, citing the need for further stimulus measures. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that quarterly growth came in at 0.7%, down from a revised 1.5% in the previous quarter, according to Reuters.
China has increased infrastructure spending and invested in high-tech manufacturing to offset weak domestic demand and a struggling property market. Despite this, both the yuan and Chinese stocks fell following the disappointing growth data, though markets later rebounded on expectations of more stimulus.
The slow growth in retail sales, rising unemployment, and reduced wages have left consumers cautious about spending.
In response, China's central bank governor has pledged to maintain a supportive monetary policy.
Price Action: BABA shares are trading lower by 2% to $78.05 in the premarket session at the last check on Monday.

Chinese tech stocks, including Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), and JD.Com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), are trading lower Friday after Baidu intensified domestic artificial intelligence rivalry with the latest price war.

Baidu launched its latest large language model, Ernie 4.0 Turbo, targeted at enterprise clients. Baidu Vice President Xie Guangjun announced an event in Shanghai on Friday, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-05/baidu-upgrades-ernie-ai-model-cuts-pricing-further?srnd=technology-vp&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

Baidu priced the Ernie 4.0 Turbo model at 30 yuan ($4.13) per 1 million input tokens and 60 yuan per 1 million output tokens. According to the company&#8217;s press release, earlier versions of Ernie will see up to 83% price reductions.
The average daily usage of Ernie models increased by 150% sequentially in the second quarter.
Baidu fiercely competes with other major Chinese tech firms and LLM startups for market share, offering free credits or significant discounts to developers using its AI models.
Comparatively, OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 model is priced at $5 per 1 million input tokens and $15 per 1 million output tokens.
To further enhance its market position, Baidu is also focusing on innovative applications of AI across various industries.

JD.com: Great Bang For The Buck

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The broader market rally has left many investors wondering if there are any <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/growth-stocks/">growth stocks</a> to buy before a correction. I believe that there absolutely are. Despite the run-up, a number of high-potential growth stocks remain undervalued. Their fundamentals have only gotten stronger.



I believe these stocks are poised for a major bounce-back over the next 12 months. Several have already begun to recover. Now may be the time to establish a position before they really take off.



Investing just $1,000 across these picks could generate market-beating returns. A few even have the potential to become multi-baggers. That means a relatively small investment today might lead to very sizable gains.



Here are seven to look into:



<h2>Bombardier (BDRBF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/bdrbd1600-300x169.png" alt="BOMBARDIER sign is seen during the 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China 2018. BDRBD stock"><div>Source: testing / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Bombardier (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bdrbf-stock-quote/">BDRBF</a>) designs and manufactures business jets for corporations, governments, and wealthy individuals. The Canadian aerospace company has been on a roll lately, with its stock price surging over 78% so far in 2024. I believe Bombardier is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing boom in private aviation and increased defense spending.



In the first quarter, Bombardier <a target="_blank" href="https://www.westerninvestor.com/national-business/bombardier-boosts-order-backlog-even-as-global-demand-for-business-jets-softens-8650865">grew its order backlog to $14.9 billion</a>. The company also expanded margins and is on track to deliver 150-155 aircraft this year, up from 138 in 2023. Bombardier&rsquo;s high-margin aftermarket service revenues jumped 13% year-over-year in Q1.



Analysts are quite bullish on the stock, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/bdrbd/forecast">8 out of 11 rating it a &ldquo;Buy.&rdquo;</a> I personally believe that this stock could cross $100.



Last week, Bombardier <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/bombardier-aircraft-assembly-workers-strike-ends-1.7259630" target="_blank">reached</a> a new 3-year labor deal with its union, ending an 18-day strike. The company is also doing its part for the environment, installing thousands of solar panels to slash emissions at its London service center. Thus, the company looks poised to hit its 2025 targets of $9 billion in revenue and $1.6 billion in EBITDA, making it among the best growth stocks to buy.



<h2>Paysign (PAYS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/money-transfer-coins-fintech-300x169.png" alt="An image of two cellphones with coins flying from one screen into the other. Fintech Growth Stocks"><div>Source: kentoh/Shutterstock</div></div>Paysign (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pays-stock-quote/">PAYS</a>) is a leading provider of prepaid card programs and integrated payment processing solutions. The company has been making waves lately with impressive financial results and a promising growth trajectory. In the first quarter of 2024, Paysign&rsquo;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-best-stocks-under-20-small-account-growth#:~:text=Paysign%20(PAYS)&amp;text=In%20Q1%202024%2C%20Paysign%27s%20revenue,just%20%24590%2C000%20a%20year%20ago.">revenue surged 30% year-over-year to $13.2 million</a>, beating analyst estimates. Net income turned positive at $309,000, a significant improvement from the net loss in the same period last year.



I believe Paysign is well-positioned to capitalize on the megatrend of digital payments and the tailwinds of increasing healthcare spending. The company&rsquo;s focus on the healthcare industry, particularly its rapidly expanding patient affordability business, sets it apart. It has a pipeline of new programs and partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies. As such, I&rsquo;m not surprised to see that Paysign&rsquo;s patient affordability revenue skyrocketed by 305% in Q1 2024.



Analysts are bullish on Paysign&rsquo;s prospects. The stock is rated a strong buy with a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/pays/forecast" target="_blank">21% upside potential</a>. As interest rate cuts take effect and transaction volumes rise, I expect Paysign&rsquo;s growth to accelerate further.



<h2>IAC (IAC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/iac-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for IAC is seen at the top of an office building."><div>Source: Black Pebble / Shutterstock.com</div></div>IAC (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iac-stock-quote/">IAC</a>) is a media and internet company that owns brands like Dotdash Meredith, Care.com, and Angi. It also just inked a deal with OpenAI to license Dotdash Meredith&rsquo;s trusted content like People, Food &amp; Wine, and Better Homes &amp; Gardens. This partnership should translate into high-margin profits as OpenAI pays IAC for the rights to enhance its AI models with this premium content.



In Q1 2024, IAC <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/IAC/earnings" target="_blank">beat earnings estimates</a> with earnings per share of -34 cents vs the -76 cents expected, though revenue of $929.68 million slightly missed estimates. Analysts seem to agree that IAC is on the right track, with TD Cowen reiterating a buy rating and a $78 price target, viewing IAC as significantly undervalued. Improving EPS should send the stock higher, even if revenue stays sluggish.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-78.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-78.png" alt="Growth Stocks: IAC financial estimates"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>The upside potential looks compelling if IAC can deliver on the promise of its OpenAI deal and other initiatives. Count me optimistic on IAC&rsquo;s prospects to ride the AI megatrend to new heights in the category of growth stocks to buy.



<h2>Celsius Holdings (CELH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/celh1600-300x169.jpg" alt="three energy drinks contrasted against a white background"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/celh-stock-quote/">CELH</a>) sells functional energy drinks and liquid supplements. The stock has plummeted nearly 50% from its 2024 highs amid concerns about slowing growth and high valuation.



I believe this selloff is overdone and presents a compelling buying opportunity for long-term investors. Celsius is well-positioned to capitalize on the megatrends of health and wellness, functional beverages, and fitness. The company reported record <a target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/celsius-holdings-inc-surpasses-first-113241408.html#:~:text=For%20Q1%202024%2C%20Celsius%20Holdings,significant%20gains%20in%20international%20markets.">Q1 revenue of $355.7 million, up 37% year-over-year</a>, and expects to benefit from expanded distribution through its PepsiCo partnership.



Analysts <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CELH/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">forecast</a> Celsius&rsquo; earnings per share to double over the next two years, with sales projected to increase around 30% annually through 2026. If Celsius can execute on these growth targets while riding the tailwinds of its key market trends, I see significant upside potential for the stock to bounce back strongly in the coming years. The recent dip looks like an attractive entry point for investors willing to hold through any near-term volatility. The analyst price target is also very bullish for a company of this size.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-79.png"><img width="1226" height="455" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-79.png" alt="CELH price target"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>And I can understand why:



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-80.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-80.png" alt="CELH financial estimates"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>Of course, risks remain. But for those who believe in Celsius&rsquo; long-term story, now may be the time to take a swig of this beaten-down beverage stock.



<h2>Sea Limited (SE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/sea-limited-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for Sea Limited is seen on a web browser through a magnifying glass."><div>Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Sea Limited (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/se-stock-quote/">SE</a>) is a tech conglomerate that operates in Southeast Asia. I&rsquo;ve been bullish on this company for around a year now, and I&rsquo;m pleased to see the stock making some positive moves recently. In Q1 2024, Sea posted a strong <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-14/singapore-s-sea-tops-estimates-as-online-shoppers-boost-spending" target="_blank">23% year-over-year revenue growth to $3.7 billion</a>, though it did report a net loss of $23 million. The company&rsquo;s e-commerce arm, Shopee, achieved record high orders, GMV, and revenue, while its SeaMoney financial services business saw significant user growth. Sea&rsquo;s gaming unit Garena also rebounded, with its Free Fire game being the most downloaded mobile game globally in Q1.



I believe Sea remains well-positioned to be the &ldquo;Amazon of Southeast Asia&rdquo; with its strong market presence in the region&rsquo;s fast-growing economies. Analysts are optimistic, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SE/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">projecting</a> EPS to jump from $2 in 2024 to $5.65 in 2026, along with sustained double-digit revenue growth. While there may be short-term fluctuations, the long-term prospects for Sea look bright as it rides the tailwinds of e-commerce and gaming growth in Southeast Asia and is one of the best growth stocks to buy in the region.



<h2>Direct Digital Holdings (DRCT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/digital-advertising-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Close up hand holding mobile with Digital Advertising and icons, Digital Marketing concept. digital ad stocks"><div>Source: weedezign via Shutterstock</div></div>Direct Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/drct-stock-quote/">DRCT</a>) operates an advertising and marketing technology platform. The company&rsquo;s stock has plunged nearly 87% since peaking in March, but I believe it may have bottomed out near its historical resistance level. At current prices, the potential upside outweighs the downside risk.



Analysts <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DRCT/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">expect</a> margins to expand swiftly, with EPS rising from 26 cents this year to 41 cents next year, accompanied by double-digit revenue growth. The company recently announced partnerships with Amazon Publisher Services and HPE GreenLake, which should attract more demand to its Colossus SSP platform and boost performance. Rate cuts could also boost earnings significantly due to its interest expenses being high.



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-81.png"><img width="1200" height="850" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-81.png" alt="How Direct Digital Holdings Makes Its Money"> Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div>These positive catalysts make me believe Direct Digital Holdings could soar once again over the next year. The digital advertising megatrend provides a strong tailwind. And with its shares trading at a fraction of their March high, now may be an opportune time for risk-tolerant investors to start a position.



<h2>ATRenew (RERE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/digital-payment-300x169.jpg" alt="A concept image of mobile payment with a smart phone for a cup of coffee."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>ATRenew (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rere-stock-quote/">RERE</a>) operates the largest pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services platform in China. The company has been making strides lately, with <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-atrenew-reports-robust-q1-growth-plans-expansion-93CH-3448885" target="_blank">total revenues growing 27.1% year-over-year to RMB3.65 billion</a> in Q1 2024 and non-GAAP operating income reaching RMB80.2 million. I believe ATRenew&rsquo;s stock&mdash;which has traded between $1-$3 for the past two years&mdash;is primed for a breakout in the next 12 months as fundamentals continue to improve. 



Management is optimistic about future growth, citing increasing recycling opportunities driven by government action plans and rising demand for used products in China.



Partnerships with major players like JD.com (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/jd-stock-quote/">JD</a>) and Apple (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/">AAPL</a>) are fueling ATRenew&rsquo;s product revenue growth. The company&rsquo;s multi-category recycling business is also taking off, with transaction value quadrupling year-over-year in Q1. Analysts seem bullish, too &ndash; Zacks recently <a href="https://scr.zacks.com/news/news-details/2024/RERE-INITIATION-Leading-Recycling-Platform-in-Chinas-Burgeoning-Circular-Economy/default.aspx" target="_blank">introduced</a> 2024 and 2025 adjusted EPS estimates of 25 cents and 38 cents for ATRenew, implying 90% growth this year and 50%+ next year. 



With RMB2.6 billion in cash, a share buyback program underway, and potential dividends on the horizon, I think ATRenew trades well-positioned among growth stocks to buy in order to ride the tailwinds of China&rsquo;s push toward a circular economy in the coming years.

Chinese stocks benefit from China&rsquo;s economic change as per the communiqu&eacute; of the third plenum. The goal is to advance changes in a number of different industries. These consist of taxes and economic and environmental policies. For <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/">tech stocks</a>, this results in a more stable and predictable environment. The focus on increasing domestic consumption and developing technology presents growth prospects for businesses operating in these domains. This may lead to an increase in stock values. By encouraging tech growth and infrastructure development, integrating the digital and real economies also benefits tech and infrastructure stocks.



Moreover, the pledge to support the non-state sector may ensure fair competition for all forms of ownership and can revitalize the underperforming private sector. This could lead to improved financial performance for companies, thus positively impacting their stock prices. The strategic push towards&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3271338/promises-abound-deepened-reform-what-did-chinas-third-plenum-tell-us">the 2029 deadline</a>&nbsp;for science and tech&rsquo; quality workforce&rsquo; will benefit industries based on tech advancement. Overall, these measures may create a conducive environment for pro-market growth, which will positively impact Chinese stocks.



<h2>Top Chinese Stocks: Alibaba (BABA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/alibaba_stock-300x169.jpg" alt="The Alibaba (BABA) logo featured outside of an office building with bushes in the background"><div>Source: zhu difeng / Shutterstock.com</div></div>China&rsquo;s economic shift towards increased domestic consumption and tech-driven growth directly benefits Alibaba&rsquo;s market valuation. To begin with, the robust performance of Alibaba&rsquo;s Taobao and Tmall platforms. In Q4 fiscal 2024, They had a&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4693136-alibaba-group-holding-limited-baba-q4-2024-earnings-call-transcript" target="_blank">double-digit annual growth</a>&nbsp;in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV).&nbsp;This&nbsp;points to a successful adaptation to China&rsquo;s evolving market demand. As domestic consumption rises, Alibaba has an enhanced user-first strategy.&nbsp;This includes competitive pricing and high service.&nbsp;This&nbsp;positions it favorably to capture a larger market share, boosting its top-line.



Moreover, Alibaba&rsquo;s strategic investment in AI and cloud computing reflected a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4693136-alibaba-group-holding-limited-baba-q4-2024-earnings-call-transcript">triple-digit annual boom</a>&nbsp;in AI-related top-line and strong demand for Alibaba Cloud&rsquo;s services. The company may capitalize on China&rsquo;s push towards technological advancement. By developing competitive AI infrastructure and reducing cloud service costs, Alibaba enhances its technological edge and attracts more clients.&nbsp;This&nbsp;led to high top-line growth in its cloud segment.



Finally, Alibaba&rsquo;s international digital commerce has a&nbsp;<a href="https://data.alibabagroup.com/ecms-files/1532295521/afdeaf9e-5dd7-4a18-8ff0-968a6807f09d/Alibaba%20Group%20Announces%20March%20Quarter%202024%20and%20Fiscal%20Year%202024%20Results.pdf" target="_blank">45% annual top-line increase</a>. This may continue to benefit from China&rsquo;s expansion in global trade. This international growth, combined with Alibaba&rsquo;s solidified logistics and AI capabilities, expands its market reach. Thus, China&rsquo;s economic shift may give Alibaba a potential valuation uplift over the mid-to-long term.



<h2>Tuya (TUYA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/iot1600a-min-300x169.jpg" alt='A close-up shot of a tablet screen with "IOT" text and related emoticons in a connected web.'><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Tuya (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tuya-stock-quote/">TUYA</a>) leads&nbsp;the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. The company&rsquo;s overall revenue in&nbsp;<a href="https://ir.tuya.com/news/news-details/2024/Tuya-Reports-First-Quarter-2024-Unaudited-Financial-Results/" target="_blank">Q1 2024 was $61.7 million</a>, up 29.9% annually from Q1 2023&rsquo;s $47.5 million. This growth exceeds the market consensus growth rate of about 15%&nbsp;per year. Moreover, the yearly rise would be an even more remarkable 35% if the adverse effects of the United States dollar and RMB exchange rates were taken into account. This significant revenue growth highlights Tuya&rsquo;s astute market opportunity-capture tactics and the strong demand for its goods and services.



Further, Tuya&rsquo;s blended gross margin reached&nbsp;<a href="https://ir.tuya.com/news/news-details/2024/Tuya-Reports-First-Quarter-2024-Unaudited-Financial-Results/" target="_blank">47.8% in Q1 2024</a>, setting a new historical high.&nbsp;This&nbsp;represents a 3.5 percentage points increase from 44.3% in Q1 2023. The gross margin improvement is primarily through the higher proportion of higher-margin products in Tuya&rsquo;s portfolio. Specifically, the gross margin of IoT PaaS&nbsp;<a href="https://s27.q4cdn.com/751054641/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/tuya-inc-1q24-earnings-call-transcript.pdf" target="_blank">increased to 46.4%</a>.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is up 5.9 percentage points from 40.5% in the same period last year. This enhancement in gross margin indicates Tuya&rsquo;s successful efforts in optimizing its product mix and operational efficiencies. 



To conclude, Tuya&rsquo;s solid revenue growth and gross margin improvements position it among the top Chinese stocks.

The growth of product revenues emerged through contributions from electronics and home appliances, which grew by 5%. The general merchandise category rebounded strongly, achieving double-digit growth in the supermarket segment.



Additionally, service revenues grew primarily by logistics and other service-related activities.

The net income was RMB&nbsp;<a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4694030-jd-com-inc-jd-q1-2024-earnings-call-transcript" target="_blank">8.9 billion</a>&nbsp;($1.2 billion), up from RMB 7.6 billion, with a net margin of 3.4% compared to 3.1%. In short, JD.Com&rsquo;s fundamental ability to derive constant top-line and profit growth with its solid market position and operational edge.
