Hold rating update for Alibaba stock
2 months ago
Parkev Tatevosian, CFA
"So all that being said, to answer the question, should you buy Alibaba stock before the company announces earnings? I would say no. I would say this is not one of those situations where you want to get ahead of the earnings release when the valuation is not especially attractive. So I will be updating this hold rating for Alibaba stock. As you can see, I last updated this on October 15th when I downgraded the stock to a hold. And today on November 18th, I will reiterate that hold rating for Alibaba stock."
The analyst advises against buying Alibaba stock ahead of its earnings release due to elevated volatility and an overvalued price. The update to a hold rating follows a period of significant price appreciation that is not supported by improved fundamentals.
