Amid China’s recent economic stimulus efforts, Citi has identified three U.S.-listed Chinese stocks as potential winners. The measures, introduced last month, aim to rejuvenate the economy and enhance market and consumer confidence.
What Happened: Citi has pinpointed three Chinese stocks listed in the U.S. as potential beneficiaries of China’s recent economic stimulus measures, CNBC reported on Thursday. Last month, China rolled out several policies aimed at revitalizing its economy and boosting market and consumer confidence.
These efforts have already led to significant gains in Chinese internet stocks, with the KraneShares China Internet ETF rising by 45%. Despite these gains, Citi analysts, led by Alicia Yap, believe the market has not fully accounted for the potential improvements in macroeconomic conditions and earnings growth.
The Wall Street bank highlighted Tencent TCEHY, Trip.com Group TCOM and Meituan MPNGY as top picks to benefit from the stimulus. Tencent, with its diverse business portfolio, stands to gain from increased consumer spending and online activity. Trip.com Group is expected to benefit from a resurgence in China’s travel industry, while Meituan could see growth in consumer spending on food delivery and local services.
Why It Matters: The recent stimulus measures in China have sparked optimism in the markets. Chinese stocks experienced a rebound following the announcement of policies allowing homeowners to refinance mortgages. This move is part of a broader strategy to support the struggling economy.
Despite the positive short-term impact, there are concerns about the long-term effectiveness of these measures. Experts hold skepticism about the ability of these stimulus programs to address China’s structural economic issues, particularly in the real estate sector. Nevertheless, the immediate liquidity injections have provided a boost to the markets, with the CSI 300 index rallying by nearly 16% last week.
