Just weeks after Shanghai reopened from its disruptive COVID-lockdowns, China has announced that Beijing is now closed due to an outbreak of the virus. The news comes as Chinese ADR stocks looked to be turning a corner following months of lockdowns directly affecting businesses. Some of the companies that were impacted include Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nio (NYSE:NIO) as production facilities in the Shanghai region were shut down.
BABA stock price
Despite the recent weakness in AliBaba’s stock, analysts at JPMorgan remain bullish on the company moving forward. Analysts mainly pointed to China’s Zero-COVID policy as unsustainable. Each time the country goes into lockdown, the stocks get punished further, which according to JPMorgan is still a short-term overreaction. The firm is cautious ahead of ongoing US rate hikes to battle inflation, but is confident that AliBaba can outperform its current price levels over the long-term.
