Goldman Sachs: Profitable Growth Key for Chinese Expansion
Goldman Sachs highlights investor concerns over Chinese companies' rapid overseas expansion, as equity investors prioritize profitable growth, according to Trina Chen, co-head of Greater China equity research at Goldman Sachs Research. The report suggests that sluggish consumer demand in China is a key driver for companies, such as Geely, to expand internationally. Geely aims to enter Canada next year as part of this strategy. Chen forecasts Chinese companies' overseas market share could grow from 18% to 31% by 2035, across sectors like express delivery and industrial robots. While higher profit margins abroad allow these companies to offer competitive pricing, investors express caution. They fear intense competition might lead to 'involution', where prices drop due to excessive competition. Chen emphasized geopolitical and market access challenges as significant factors affecting Chinese stocks' performance. However, emerging markets present opportunities for rapid growth, with Chinese brands evolving from being market challengers to entrenched competitors. For investors, the potential growth in Chinese companies' international market share suggests future returns if the companies maintain profitability. The increasing footprint in underserved emerging markets could drive long-term revenue growth.
