While Alibaba's Western peers keep shining, I think Alibaba's recent lackluster performance is due to the weakening of the Chinese economy. It's hard to believe, but with approximately half a trillion yuan in cash and equivalents on the balance sheet, BABA's current cash ratio is already 44%. I see an important bullish catalyst that may revive growth in undervalued Alibaba stock shortly.

Geopolitical risks are likely overestimated, with deep economic ties between the US and China and the historical crisis of the original Cold War suggesting a peaceful resolution. I am not claiming that BABA is a superior investment to Amazon, but its key business and financial metrics are certainly competitive with one of Wall Street's favorites. According to my intrinsic value calculations, the company that consolidates the world's largest e-commerce platforms by GMV and China's cloud leader is deeply undervalued.
