Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) tanked more than 10 percent Thursday following its earnings report. Wall Street analysts are unanimously baffled. Wedbush thinks that Singles Day, when Alibaba sold more than $9 billion in one day, may have created unrealistic earnings expectations.

Wedbush – Outperform, $115 price target

“We believe BABA offers a compelling combination of size, growth and profitability, on a global basis. Although the discussion has become more balanced between risk and reward, we expect shares to hold onto their premium valuation.”

Brean Capital – Buy, $110 price target from $115

“We view BABA as a market leader in China internet, where the company is transforming its business model from ecommerce services to a full-spectrum ecosystem providing everyday service elements to consumers and helping reshape and develop China and global commerce.”

SunTrust – Buy, $110 price target from $120

“While concerns (revs, gov't, lockup etc.) may weigh on shares near term, we think this is an opportunity for long-term investors, as shares remain attractively valued vs. growth.”

Credit Suisse – Outperform, $113 price target from $118

“We turn more conservative in near-term take-rate assumptions, but maintain our view that monetization rate continue to increase with better buyer experience and mobile ad roll-out. We see weakness as good buying opportunity.”
