Recently, Alibaba was just hit with a whopping $2.87 billion dollar fine in China. It was found that Alibaba used their dominant market position to their advantage, as the Chinese government stated BABA “used anti-competitive practices in its online retail market.” This is not a recipe for a positive week or month for investors who currently hold Alibaba stock if it was purchased anytime recently. Timing in investments is crucial as it’s important to know when to take the gains you have made, or cut off the losses you have suffered. One may not always make a gain on a certain investment, and that’s understandable as nobody is 100% correct all the time. So, minimizing the losses you do take as much as you possibly can is crucial to ensuring your portfolio still generates strong returns overall. While our analysts believe Alibaba will be strong long term, there is too much uncertainty right now involving the Chinese government, Alibaba’s allegations, and the rapid expansion of other digital Chinese commerce competitors. Making Alibaba a Sell Rating for certain investors depending on when they bought it as either way, Microsoft is a much safer company to add to your portfolio. INVESTORS INSIGHT Company Overview & Analysis IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS INVESTORS INSIGHT Company Overview & Analysis IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS Two weeks ago our analysts called Microsoft a Strong Buy at $236.32; and since then, the stock has risen to close out Friday at a share price of $255.80. Microsoft is now right at its 52 week high, and will likely break it with ease as early as Monday. Up over $200 per share in the last 5 years, Microsoft has provided exceptional returns for shareholders and has demonstrated tremendous growth with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. With a mammoth market value of $1.93 trillion, Microsoft stays on the right path for their search in acquiring new companies as Nuance Communications is possibly the latest example of that. Recently, Microsoft has moved into advanced talks to buy Nuance Communications for around $16 billion and could announce more news on that as early as Monday. Nuance Communications, up 168% in the past year, could add great value to Microsoft, and this would make for a very strong acquisition for the company. Getting into the health-care sector has been a direction Microsoft strives to get into more and this purchase, which would be the largest one Microsoft has made since 2016 with LinkedIn would help them do that. Microsoft will see shares rise with or without this new acquisition; just the new acquisition would make Microsoft rise more rapidly. Microsoft is a Strong Buy again as our research and analysis concludes Microsoft at a target price of $315; making around $255 a share a great deal for investors to get in on now.
