Goldman Sachs Starts Alibaba (BABA) at Neutral

Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $102.00.

Analyst Piyush Mubayi said, "Alibaba dominates the world’s fastest growing e-commerce market, with 279mn buyers and 8.5mn merchants across 118 product categories. It drives globalization of sourcing and distribution, and its proprietary data
technology, powered by an industry-leading cloud computing system, supports outsized transaction flow in its various marketplaces. Near-term prospects appear well discounted, so we launch with a 12 month TP of US$102; however, with steady growth, we estimate equity value could appreciate to $133/share in two years, or a $350bn market capitalization."
