Catalysts
Lin believes large cap Chinese eCommerce companies have the most long-term growth potential due to their dominant market positioning, large amounts of cash and relatively stable core margins.

“We see two positive catalysts: 1) MSCI China’s inclusion of major Chinese ADRs, which favors large-cap companies like Alibaba, JD and Vipshop; and 2) potential dual-listing of A-shares, given approval for 100% foreign ownership in eCommerce companies in China,” Lin explains.

Top pick: Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA)
Alibaba is Morgan Stanley’s top pick among Chinese stocks. Lin cites growing mobile ad load in Q2 as one indicator of the recent strength of Alibaba’s business. He believes that the U.S. market has not yet priced in the latest ad load numbers and points out that the stock’s current projected 2016 P/E is 24 percent below its post-IPO average level.
