As U.S. President Donald Trump&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chinese President Xi Jinping&nbsp;break the ice with a phone call after months of silence, analysts weigh in on what&#8217;s in store for the U.S.-China trade.
What Happened: The U.S. and China have been at odds over trade for a considerable period. The call signifies some advancement in establishing ground rules for a potential meeting. Jeremy Chan, Senior China Analyst at the Eurasia Group consultancy, stated that this communication suggests a level of respect from President Trump towards President Xi, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3313235/china-us-presidents-break-months-long-stand-phone-call?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported</a> The South China Morning Post.
However, analysts have noted that more than optimistic statements are required to resolve the deeply rooted trade differences between the two nations. Chan further noted that Xi typically consents to meetings with foreign leaders only after substantial groundwork has been laid through lower-level diplomatic efforts.
"Xi has bowed to reality,&nbsp;like so many other foreign&nbsp;leaders before him, that there&nbsp;is no substitute for direct&nbsp;negotiations with Trump," stated Chan, who is also a former U.S. diplomat.
On the other hand, ASPI&#8217;s Wendy Cutler highlighted the complexity of the upcoming trade talks and the challenges.
"The likelihood of further misunderstandings, coupled with a fundamental lack of trust, will present enormous challenges for the negotiators as they try to hammer out a deal," cautioned Cutler.

Why It Matters: This phone call comes in the wake of escalating trade tensions between the two countries. On Thursday, U.S. stocks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45793852/trump-reaches-out-to-xi-as-markets-react-tensions-simmer"> dipped following</a> reports of a phone call between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, signaling a possible thaw in China trade tensions. The outreach was said to have come from the U.S. side, as per CNBC, citing Chinese state media.
Earlier in May, President Trump had expressed his willingness to travel to China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45481159/donald-trump-offers-to-visit-xi-jinping-in-beijing-calls-us-china-ties-important-after-striking-temporary-trade-truce">to meet </a>with President Xi Jinping, emphasizing the importance of the U.S.-China relationship. 
In early May, the South China Morning Post reported that the U.S. and China are struggling to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45188171/china-pushes-for-special-envoys-as-direct-deal-with-trump-deemed-risky-plans-fentanyl-concessions-as-negotiating-leverage-report">resume trade talks</a>. China suggested using special envoys, but the U.S. prefers direct talks between Trump and Xi—a move China considers &#8220;risky and uncertain.&#8221;
This latest phone call could be seen as a step towards that potential meeting, and a move towards resolving the trade disputes.

Xi Has 'Bowed To Reality,' Says China Analyst, Urges More Engagement Between Leaders To Resolve Trade Issues: 'No Substitute For Direct Negotiations With Trump'

Chinese e-commerce giants Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) noted strong sales momentum in their campaigns for the 618 shopping festival following government subsidies.
The festival in China runs from&nbsp;June 1 to June 18&nbsp;each year.&nbsp;It&#8217;s one of China&#8217;s most significant shopping events, from the end of May to June 20.

Preliminary 618 retail data from&nbsp;Alibaba&#8217;s domestic e-commerce unit Taobao and Tmall Group&nbsp;(TTG) showed sales of consumer electronics products and home appliances surged 283% during the campaign&#8217;s initial checkout period from May 13 to May 26, compared with the initial checkout period of its&nbsp;2024 Singles&#8217; Day&nbsp;campaign, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3312923/alibaba-jdcom-sales-surge-during-618-shopping-festival-back-subsidy-programme" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday.
JD.com&#8217;s home appliances and electronics sales rose ~380% in the first hour of its 618 campaign.
Alibaba and JD.com data reflects improved domestic retail spending, as the government subsidy offers each consumer a rebate of up to 2,000 yuan ($278) per item.
China&#8217;s economy&nbsp;showed signs of recovery&nbsp;in the first quarter of 2025. The quarterly retail sales rose 4.6%, while the gross domestic product&nbsp;expanded by 5.4%.
As of May 30, 217 brands on Alibaba&#8217;s Taobao and Tmall retail platforms, including major smartphone vendors&nbsp;Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Xiaomi&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACF#OTC">XIACF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and&nbsp;Huawei Technologies, had each topped 100 million yuan in sales since the 618 shopping campaign kicked off.
JD.com said Apple, Xiaomi, and Huawei each recorded over 100 million yuan in sales within the first hour of its 618 shopping promotion.
UBS Group and HSBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45729089/china-stocks-get-boost-as-ubs-hsbc-cite-stimulus-hopes-tariff-truce-cheap-valuations" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed optimism&nbsp;about</a>&nbsp;Chinese stocks, citing&nbsp;the recent tariff pause with the U.S., potential&nbsp;stimulus measures from Beijing, and attractive low valuations as key drivers.
Neil Hosie of UBS said Beijing&#8217;s economic policy measures in September and the emergence of artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek&#8217;s affordable models sparked global investor interest in China equities, slowly translating into more significant fund flows.
Herald van der Linde of HSBC said that nearly 50 trillion yuan, deemed excess savings over the COVID-19 pandemic years, will find their way back into local and offshore equity markets.
HSBC said mainland Chinese households held 160 trillion yuan ($22 trillion) in cash, mostly invested in bank time deposits. About a third of it could flow into stock markets in Hong Kong as lower interest rates drive demand for riskier assets.
HSBC said most of the cash flowing into Hong Kong&#8217;s stock market had gone into high-growth sectors such as internet firms, electric vehicle (EV) makers, and other high-yielding companies like Alibaba.
Price Actions: At last check Wednesday, BABA stock was up 1.54% at $116.74 premarket, while JD was up 1.11%.

Alibaba, JD See Sales Soar In 618 Festival, Apple And Xiaomi Emerge As Top Selling Brands

The manufacturing sector in China has slipped into contraction in May, marking its&nbsp;lowest level since September 2022, as the impact of tariffs continues to weigh heavily on the industry despite a temporary&nbsp;trade truce with the U.S.
What Happened: Data released on Tuesday by&nbsp;Caixin Media Co.&nbsp;and&nbsp;S&amp;P Global&nbsp;revealed that the&nbsp;Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers index&nbsp;dropped to 48.3 in May from&nbsp;50.4 in April. For the first time in eight&nbsp;months, the index has dipped below 50, the threshold that distinguishes expansion from contraction, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/chinas-manufacturing-activity-tumbles-into-contraction-as-orders-drop-cd120b36">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal.
The drop was primarily due to a significant decrease in new orders, which fell at the fastest rate in over two and a half years, as reported by&nbsp;Caixin.&nbsp;New export orders fell for the second month in a row, hitting their lowest level since July 2023.
Despite a temporary truce in the U.S.-China trade conflict in mid-May, the tariff fallout appears to have continued to impact China&#8217;s factory activity. Zichun Huang, an economist at Capital Economics, stated, &#8220;The PMIs suggest that last month's U.S.-China trade truce was not enough to prevent a broader loss of economic momentum in May.&#8221;
Employment in manufacturing shrank more quickly in May, reflecting hiring caution, but business optimism rose as companies anticipated improvements in external markets.

Why It Matters: The ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which escalated in April with the imposition of hefty tariffs, have continued to impact China&#8217;s factory activity. Although the two countries&nbsp;reached a temporary truce in&nbsp;May and agreed&nbsp;to suspend most of the&nbsp;additional tariffs, the effects of the tariffs persist.
Amid these challenges, Chinese manufacturers are also facing domestic economic pressures, with major macroeconomic indicators showing a significant&nbsp;weakening at the start of&nbsp;the second quarter. This has led to a cautious approach by manufacturers, with employment shrinking&nbsp;at a faster pace than&nbsp;in April.
These developments align with previous warnings from analysts at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45033064/16-million-chinese-jobs-under-threat-amid-escalating-us-china-trade-war-predicts-goldman-sachs">Goldman Sachs</a>, who cautioned that persistently high U.S.-China tariffs and a significant drop in Chinese exports could put up to 16 million jobs in China at risk, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the ISM Manufacturing PMI slipped to 48.5% in May from 48.7% in April, indicating the sharpest contraction since late 2024. One of the respondents stated, "&#8230;the impact of ever-changing trade policies of the current administration has wreaked havoc on suppliers&#8217; ability to react and remain profitable."
Xpeng Inc &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) and BYD&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) fell 3.4% and 0.65%, each, over the past month. Meanwhile, Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALMMF#OTC">ALMMF</a>) surged 7.41% during the same period.

China's Manufacturing Activity Crashes To 2022 Lows In May Amid Trump Tariff Woes

UBS Group expressed optimism <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">about Chinese stocks</a>, citing the recent tariff pause with the U.S., potential stimulus measures from Beijing and attractive low valuations as key drivers.
UBS&#8217; stance coincided with a market sell-off in U.S. equities amid trade tensions, SCMP <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/banking-finance/article/3312525/ubs-upbeat-china-stocks-citing-tariff-pause-us-and-potential-beijing-stimulus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday.
Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is considered a tech barometer of China. Other significant U.S.-listed Chinese stocks included Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.Com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>).

Neil Hosie of UBS said Beijing&#8217;s economic policy measures in September and the emergence of artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek&#8217;s affordable models sparked global investor interest in China equities, slowly translating into more significant fund flows.
Hosie said a 90-day tariff truce and Beijing&#8217;s hopes for domestic stimulus have translated into higher inflows into China&#8217;s markets.
Additionally, Hosie said Hong Kong&#8217;s resurgent initial public offering (IPO) market was a positive driver.
Meanwhile, Hosie said U.S. stocks were overvalued, citing the Nasdaq&#8217;s P/E of 31.70x, compared to Hong Kong&#8217;s benchmark Hang Seng Index at 10.86x and Shanghai&#8217;s main board at 15.60x, as per Bloomberg data.
Mainland Chinese households held 160 trillion yuan ($22 trillion) in cash, mostly invested in bank time deposits and about a third of it could flow into stock markets in Hong Kong as lower interest rates drive demand for riskier assets, SCMP <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3312751/chinese-households-set-buy-another-us100-billion-hong-kong-stocks-hsbc-says" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Monday, citing HSBC.
Herald van der Linde, head of HSBC Asia-Pacific equity research, told SCMP that close to 50 trillion yuan, deemed excess savings over the COVID-19 pandemic years, will find their way back into local and offshore equity markets.
HSBC said Chinese investors channeled $80 billion in net inflows into Hong Kong stocks through Stock Connect&#8217;s southbound channel in 2025. At the current rate, they could funnel more excess savings to drive purchases to $180 billion by the end of the year.
HSBC said most of the cash flowing into Hong Kong&#8217;s stock market had gone into high-growth sectors such as internet firms, electric vehicle (EV) makers, and other high-yielding companies like Tencent Holdings and Alibaba.

JD.com Unusual Options Activity

After years of being the poster child for China&#8217;s regulatory reckoning, Alibaba (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is now sending a different sort of signal to shareholders: It&#8217;s back, it&#8217;s profitable and it&#8217;s on the AI wave on a large scale. And for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF investors</a>, its return may be more than a BABA-centric tale, which might be a sign of a wider reawakening for China-centric tech ETFs.
The Numbers Don&#8217;t Lie, They Shout
Alibaba&#8217;s most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">recent quarterly earnings</a> showed that the company&#8217;s revenue increased 7% year-over-year in the March quarter, which was a miss. However, operating income skyrocketed 93%, and adjusted EBITA jumped 36%. The jaw-dropping number? Net income expanded to $1.65 billion, an eye-opening 1,203% jump from the prior-year period. Even stripping out one-time gains, non-GAAP net income was up 22%. The company has also stepped up expenses, cut share-based compensation in half, and streamlined its sprawling platforms—all while accelerating cash flow by 18%. For a company once seen as a regulatory landmine, Alibaba is now flexing financial discipline and strategic clarity.

As e-commerce remains the company&#8217;s anchor business, Alibaba&#8217;s Cloud Intelligence Group is shaping up to be the next significant growth driver. The cloud unit increased revenue by 18% YoY to $4.15 billion, while adjusted EBITDA surged 69%. But the real news is what&#8217;s fueling that growth: artificial intelligence.
Alibaba has now reported seven straight quarters of triple-digit revenue growth from AI-driven cloud products. CEO Eddie Wu has referred to generative AI as the key driver here, a trend that international investors are following closely, particularly as AI emerges as the next wave across enterprise and consumer applications. The ETF Implication: Who&#8217;s Holding The Bag (In A Good Way)?
For&nbsp;investors&nbsp;in&nbsp;ETFs who want&nbsp;to&nbsp;play&nbsp;Alibaba&#8217;s&nbsp;rebound&nbsp;without&nbsp;committing&nbsp;all&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;single&nbsp;stock,&nbsp;there&nbsp;are many&nbsp;funds&nbsp;with&nbsp;significant&nbsp;exposure: KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>)
With 12% weighting in Alibaba, KWEB has been a favorite among those wagering on the Chinese internet rebound. The ETF also provides some exposure to Tencent (OTCPK: TCEHY), JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), and Meituan, providing diversified access to the group. Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGJ#NASDAQ">PGJ</a>)
This fund invests in U.S.-listed Chinese shares, such as Alibaba (8% weightage), and goes heavy on tech-heavy names. It provides a pure play for those interested in the innovation economy of China without having to contend with A-shares. iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>)
A more diversified China play and a significant position in Alibaba (~10%), MCHI may attract investors who want to mix tech with some exposure to financials, real estate, and industrials. Not All Dragons Breathe Fire
While Alibaba&#8217;s Q4&nbsp;results&nbsp;are&nbsp;certainly&nbsp;to be applauded, it&#8217;s not&nbsp;a&nbsp;decade&nbsp;of&nbsp;peace&nbsp;and&nbsp;prosperity&nbsp;on the China tech horizon. The&nbsp;larger&nbsp;China tech&nbsp;story&nbsp;is&nbsp;still&nbsp;susceptible&nbsp;to geopolitical&nbsp;stress,&nbsp;local&nbsp;regulator&nbsp;switches, and sentiment investor turns. ETFs can insulate single-stock risk but aren&#8217;t proof against macro headwinds.
Nevertheless, the green shoots are difficult to overlook. Following years of investor doubts, Alibaba&#8217;s robust quarter may be the catalyst China tech ETFs have been waiting for.
For ETF investors, particularly those who hold long positions in KWEB, PGJ, and MCHI, the last earnings call hinted that the tide could be turning for China tech. With AI traction, cloud profitability, and a solid core commerce engine, Alibaba no longer looks like a cautionary tale. The Alibaba stock is up 38% year-to-date.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

JD.com's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NYSE">JD</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.72% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.44 million shares sold short, which is 1.81% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.68 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>JD.com Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748451639_0_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for JD.com has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing JD.com's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JD.com's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 11.71%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on JD.com, Lowers Price Target to $42

China's Meituan (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPNGY#OTC">MPNGY</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) have experienced a major selloff, triggered by the battle to win the food delivery war in the country, resulting in the loss of over $100 billion combined in market value since late 2024.
What Happened: Meituan and JD.com's Hong Kong-listed shares have plunged more than 30% from their October 2024 peaks, making them among the worst performers on the Hang Seng Tech Index, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-27/meituan-jd-com-s-food-delivery-war-worsens-100-billion-rout?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Meituan's stock dropped over 5% on Tuesday after it reported March-quarter earnings this week, though it has since recouped some losses. However, it is still down 15% year-to-date.

Why It's Important: Earlier this month, it was reported that Alibaba Group Holding's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) Ele.me and JD.com's JD Takeaway are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45365815/why-alibaba-and-jdcom-are-basically-buying-you-coffee-to-win-the-30-minute-delivery-race">competing fiercely in the</a> instant retail space, where products are expected to be delivered within 30 to 60 minutes.
JD.com has also been pouring money into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/05/45400599/only-reasonable-profits-jdcom-takes-aim-at-global-food-delivery-economics-with-zero-commission-modelrevives-founders-035-principle">discounts and promotions</a> to boost its relatively new food delivery platform. The company's cash-burning strategy has pressured Meituan, the market leader, into responding with its own costly incentives.
The report noted another reason behind the drop being investors' shift toward companies with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44103985/74-of-deepseeks-output-mimics-openais-chatgpt-new-study-reveals-it-does-raise-questions-about-its-development">greater artificial intelligence</a> capabilities, a trend accelerated by DeepSeek.
JD.com has a growth score of 78.15, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to compare it with other stocks</a>.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in JD.com

Legendary investor and hedge fund manager Michael Burry recently doubled down on his investment in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>). Burry's move could reflect a strategic bet on the so-called &#8220;Lipstick Index,&#8221; which suggests consumers turn to more affordable luxuries like cosmetics<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45484735/michael-burry-makes-major-portfolio-shift-holding-only-one-asset-he-deems-recession-proof"> during economic downturns.</a>
What To Know: According to its most recent SEC filing, Burry's hedge fund Scion Asset Management doubled its stake in Estée Lauder in the first quarter of 2025. The investment firm purchased an additional 100,000 shares in the world&#8217;s second-largest cosmetics company, bringing its total holdings to 200,000 shares.

Burry shot to fame after correctly predicting and reaping a massive profit from the US property market meltdown of 2008, which sparked a worldwide financial crisis. His extraordinary move at the time to take on Wall Street titans and wager against an overheated housing market has been captured in Michael Lewis&#8217;s book &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short_(film)">Hollywood movie</a> by the same name.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Burry&#8217;s Latest Positions</h3>
Burry closed out all of Scion's long positions in Chinese tech companies and opened short positions in several of the same stocks including Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>). Scion also opened a short position in Trip.com Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCOM#NASDAQ">TCOM</a>), the largest online travel agent in China.
In fact, Estée Lauder is the hedge fund's only remaining long position.&nbsp;
Burry's investment in the cosmetics company could be viewed as a play on the Lipstick Index, which holds that even during a recession, consumers will continue to purchase cosmetics as affordable indulgences.
"The Lipstick Index doesn't just apply to lipstick. The theory behind the Lipstick Index is that when money is tight, consumers substitute costly purchases with cheap luxuries like lipstick," Kevin Shahnazari, founder of FinlyWealth, told LevelFields. "In the 2008 recession, cosmetics sales increased, showing that even in tough times, individuals crave tiny comfort purchases that give psychological boosts without a hefty financial outlay," Shahnazari added.

'Big Short' Legend Michael Burry Bets Big On Lipstick Index: Is He Bracing For A Recession?

Michael Burry, famed for his highly profitable bet against the U.S. housing market in 2008, has recently shifted to a bearish stance on Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45461072/the-big-short-fame-michael-burry-doubled-estee-lauder-stake-despite-slump-bet-against-nvidia-and-dumps-china-stocks-amid-trade-war-jitters-in-q1">technology stocks.</a>
Burry's pivot is notable because he was previously bullish on China tech companies and held significant long positions in companies like Alibaba Group Holdings, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and JD.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) as recently as late 2024.

However, the latest SEC filings show a marked reversal: Burry's hedge fund, Scion Asset Management,&nbsp; acquired put options against several major Chinese tech companies.&nbsp;
The Details: In the first quarter of 2025, Burry completely liquidated his previous positions in Alibaba, JD.Com, Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) and PDD Holdings Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and purchased put options on each of the Chinese tech names.&nbsp;
Burry's bearish pivot on China came in the quarter before the announcement of new tariffs on Chinese goods by President Donald Trump, which heightened trade tensions and roiled global markets. The timing suggests the experienced investor anticipated increased volatility or downside risk in Chinese equities amid geopolitical and economic uncertainty.&nbsp;
Scion also purchased a sizable amount of put options on NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the first quarter, which now makes up nearly half of its portfolio.&nbsp;
The hedge fund's only long position in the most recent quarter's filing was Estee Lauder Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>).&nbsp;

'Big Short' Investor Michael Burry Turns Bearish On China: What's On His Short List Now

Benchmark analyst Fawne Jiang maintained Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) with a Buy and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$190&nbsp;to&nbsp;$176</a> on Friday.
Alibaba reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal fourth-quarter</a> revenue growth of 7% to $32.58 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $33.08 billion. It clocked an adjusted earnings per ADS of $1.73, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.48.

Revenue from Taobao and Tmall Group grew by 9% to $13.97 billion. Revenue from Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group increased by 22% to $4.63 billion, driven by the growth of cross-border businesses. In addition:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Local Services Group revenue grew by 10% to $2.22 billion</li>
<li>Orders for Amap and Ele.me grew </li>
<li>Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited's revenue decreased 12% to $2.97 billion.</li>
<li>Cloud Intelligence Group revenue grew by&nbsp;18%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$4.15 billion.</li>
<li>Digital Media and Entertainment Group rose&nbsp;12%&nbsp;to&nbsp;$765 million.</li>
<li>Customer management revenue (CMR) grew 12%</li>
<li>Cloud revenue accelerated to high teens, fueled by strong demand for AI services.</li>
</ul>
Jiang blamed Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group&#8217;s soft performance and outdated consensus estimates.
Looking ahead, Jiang expects CMR to continue outpacing GMV growth through fiscal 2026, supported by sustained take rate gains, and Cloud to maintain momentum with new customer onboarding and cross-selling. AIDC growth may moderate amid evolving global trade dynamics. At the same time, Ele.me ramps up investment in food delivery and instant commerce in partnership with Taobao and Tmall Group to defend against JD.com, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and offensively drive engagement via Taobao app integration.
Jiang raised his revenue projections for CMR and TTG but lowered the group-level growth forecast to 6% (from 11% previously, excluding asset divestitures), reflecting AIDC resets and potential headwinds from Ele.me.
While the fiscal fourth quarter was not clean, and near-term margin pressure remains a concern, the analyst continues to view Alibaba as a leading beneficiary of accelerated AI adoption in China and a top structural player in the sector.
Jiang projected fiscal 2026 revenue of $134.44 billion and EPS of $8.50. He expects fiscal 2027 revenue of $146.03 billion and EPS of $11.01.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA shares traded higher by&nbsp;0.64%&nbsp;at&nbsp;$124.69 at&nbsp;the last check on Friday.

Alibaba Misses Revenue, But AI Cloud Has Silver Lining

&#8216;The Big Short&#8217; famed investor Michael Burry, who accurately predicted the 2008 housing market crash, has turned bearish on most equities while doubling his stake in cosmetics giant Estée Lauder Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EL#NYSE">EL</a>) during the first quarter, according to 13F regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management increased its position in Estée Lauder to 200,000 shares from 100,000 shares at the end of the fourth quarter, despite EL stock being down 13.94% this year. The move comes as the beauty company pursues its &#8220;Beauty Reimagined&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45179419/estee-lauders-beauty-gains-cant-offset-global-headwinds-says-analyst">recovery strategy amid global headwinds</a>.
EL stock closed at $63.67 on Thursday, down 0.69% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 3.85% to $66.12, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
The 13F report revealed significant portfolio adjustments, including Scion taking a substantial bearish position on artificial intelligence leader NVIDIA Corp.
