— Trader / Investor
Summary
Dmitry Solodin reviews Asian equity markets, arguing that capital and growth are shifting toward Asia. He presents analyst-favored large caps and his own top five faster-growing Asian stocks, then answers viewer questions on US and Hong Kong names and commodities. The main actionable stance is selective long exposure to Asia, with caution on overextended AI and chip names and on bankruptcy-risk stocks.
- Asia macro view is supported by growth, trade, and capital-shift arguments.
- China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Australia receive separate market assessments.
- Analyst top five includes Alibaba, AIA, Samsung, Sony, and CSL.
- Solodin's top five includes Ninebot, ZX Ton Bridge, Simplex, T3, and Promedicus.
- Q&A covers DAVE, metals, HSI, Adobe, Duolingo, Weibo, Baidu, IREN, DOCN, TEM, SEZL, NFE, PATH, and Lyft.
- Several names are flagged as avoid or watch due to overextension, weak fundamentals, or fraud risk.
- Technical wave analysis, accumulation zones, and breakout setups are used throughout.
Ideas
Asia offers attractive diversified growth
Asian markets look more attractive than US equities because many Asian companies are growing faster, 60% of 2025 global GDP growth came from Asia, and trade and financial gravity is shifting toward the region; he is considering diversifying part of his portfolio into Asia despite legal and currency complications.
China growth, stimulus, dividends attractive
China is still growing around 4-5%, runs a roughly $1T trade surplus, is easing monetary policy, pushing digitalization in its five-year plan, and offers dividend-tax advantages for his situation; he may allocate a portion to Chinese dividend and tech equities.
Hong Kong recovery supports equities
Hong Kong GDP accelerated to 3.5-3.8%, supported by tourism, trade and financial services, while AI-related electronics exports and expected US rate cuts could support consumption and investment; index momentum remains positive and Hong Kong stocks are relatively cheap.
Japan benefits from rate-hike repatriation
Japan has many high-quality companies and potential BoJ rate hikes could trigger capital repatriation into Japanese assets and strengthen the yen, making Japan more attractive; Buffett's interest is supportive, though yen devaluation is a risk if carry trades persist.
Yen may strengthen on BOJ hikes
If Japanese inflation persists and the BoJ hikes rates, Japanese capital could repatriate, strengthening the yen and supporting Japanese assets; if carry trades persist, the yen may weaken instead, so this is a conditional setup.
Korea recovery on AI chip demand
Korea is slowing but entering 2026 positioned for recovery, driven by AI semiconductor demand, with Samsung and SK hynix among global memory leaders; the market is developed and options-heavy, though demographics and the won are risks.
Australia offers commodity-linked developed-market exposure
Australia is a developed commodity market with a stable business and financial climate and broad exposure to a potential commodity supercycle and Asian demand; he prefers stock picking over the index because of high rates and AI-bubble risk.
S&P 500 risky on AI bubble
The IMF and Solodin warn that the AI bubble in high-tech giants could cause a broad index correction; he says investing in the S&P 500 index is dangerous because of overheated stocks.
Alibaba undervalued on cloud and AI
Alibaba is a recovering Chinese e-commerce and cloud leader: cloud grew 34%, revenue 15%, Beijing is softening tech policy, the new five-year plan emphasizes digitalization, and its cheap Qwen AI model could win global emerging-market adoption; shares doubled in 2025 but remain below peaks and look undervalued.
AIA stable growth with breakout setup
AIA is Asia's largest life and health insurer with stable financials and high Asian growth; record new policy sales and VONB growth of over 25% support the business, and the chart has a breakout setup with about 20% to the prior high, though Solodin does not personally favor its cash-flow stability.
Samsung overextended; expect pullback
Samsung is a leading semiconductor and consumer-electronics maker benefiting from the DRAM and NAND boom and record Q4 revenue, but it is too large and diversified, gross margin is falling, and the chart looks like a fifth-wave climax; he expects a pullback and will not buy here.
Sony flows weak, unattractive
Sony is a diversified Japanese conglomerate with an extended chart and weak fundamentals: gross margin is falling, revenue is flat, profit is helped by buybacks, and cash flows are unimpressive; it is not in his top picks.
CSL stable grower with rising dividends
CSL is Australia's largest biotech and a global plasma and vaccine leader with stable revenue growth, reasonable P/E around 19, and a growing dividend; the current 2.5% yield is historically high and payout ratio is only 44%, supporting further dividend growth.
Ninebot cheap growth in smart mobility
Ninebot is a smart-mobility company benefiting from urbanization and China's robotics and digitalization five-year plan; the chart broke out and retested, while revenue is accelerating, margins are improving, and P/E around 20 with P/S below 1 looks cheap for the growth.
Medtech growth on aging demographics
ZX Ton Bridge Medical Technology is a Hong Kong medtech supplier of neurovascular and peripheral vascular intervention devices; aging demographics should drive procedure and equipment demand, Chinese cost and service advantages help versus global players, and revenue, EPS, and FCF are growing rapidly.
Simplex is undervalued Japan DX play
Simplex Holdings is a Japanese IT consultant with strong financial-infrastructure and high-speed trading-system expertise; it should benefit from Japan's digital transformation, has sticky financial clients, broke above a four-year high and gap, and offers accelerating revenue, FCF, and EPS at P/E 21.7.
Game developer with breakout setup
T3 Entertainment is a Korean game developer and publisher with a breakout-retest technical setup; revenue is growing about 23% and EPS sharply, but game-franchise lumpiness means investors should wait for a breakout above the 2,400 area or buy a deeper retest.
Sticky medtech software with high growth
Promedicus supplies corporate medical-visualization software with sticky hospital and clinic contracts, cloud implementation, and a 10-year Trinity Health deal; technicals show a plane pullback, while revenue growth near 70%, EPS growth of 80-90%, strong FCF margin, and Rule of 40 at 85% support upside, though low float makes it volatile.
DAVE volatile but fundamentals improving
DAVE is highly volatile due to a tiny float, but revenue is growing about 50%, EPS about 200%, and its AI-driven micro-loan underwriting is improving credit quality even as the portfolio grows; he holds it and sees potential to run from about 163 to about 280 by mid-2026 if the market's credit fears prove unfounded.
China capital accumulation supports metals
China's roughly $1T trade surplus creates capital that must be invested, and because of geopolitical and asset-freezing risks China and others are diversifying into gold and commodities; gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper have all been rising as a result.
Hang Seng long-term triangle breakout
The Hang Seng is in a large super-cycle triangle since 2007 and 2008; he expects one more move or retest before a major long-term breakout, with many cheap Hong Kong companies and an economy growing almost as fast as China, so long-term investors can accumulate Hong Kong stocks and HSI components.
Adobe undervalued in accumulation triangle
Adobe is in a triangle and accumulation zone after a deep drop; he is holding and buying because fundamentals are almost ideal with stable EPS and revenue growth, P/E 17, P/S 5, and the selloff appears to be market panic rather than a fundamental break.
Duolingo deep value with sharp reversal
Duolingo has corrected deeply in a WXY pattern and is now entering a wide accumulation zone but may not be finished; he bought around 150 and will hold because fundamentals are ideal, revenue and profitability are strong, P/E 17 is cheap versus growth, and a sharp reversal could take it to 360.
Weibo stagnant, avoid despite cheap
Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, is effectively a dead company: revenue has not grown for years, it lies at the bottom, and despite a cheap P/E around 6 he will not buy unless it shows life in his screens.
Baidu fundamentals weak despite tech
Baidu has some good technology and a technical bounce, but revenue is awful and stagnant, profitability is unstable, and operating cash flow is shrinking; Solodin will not trade a technical setup without fundamental confirmation.
IREN high growth with cup handle
IREN's technical chart is strong and revenue and EPS are growing rapidly from a low base; P/E is cheap though P/S is high, float is 240M, and a cup-and-handle setup targets around 280, so it can keep running despite negative FCF.
DigitalOcean uptrend, strong fundamentals
DigitalOcean remains in an uptrend and wave analysis suggests a third wave; despite volatility, fundamentals are excellent with revenue, FCF, EBITDA, and EPS growth and buybacks, and he keeps part of the position while planning to restore on a pullback to 40-42.
Tempus unprofitable; avoid for now
Tempus is still unprofitable with negative operating margin and needs external financing; he would wait until it turns profitable and stands on its own feet rather than risk the highly volatile, cash-burning phase.
Sezzle fraud risk despite cheap valuation
Sezzle looks extremely cheap on paper with P/E 20 and 80% revenue growth, but a short report alleges fraud and data manipulation and the company is small with low float; Solodin avoids it because the reported numbers may be fake.
NFE bankruptcy risk, avoid
New Fortress Energy is broken: revenue is falling, net margin is -90%, cash flows are terrible, and the sub-$1 price implies the market is pricing bankruptcy; he would not buy it regardless of potential bounce.
UiPath accumulation zone, strong fundamentals
UiPath is still in an accumulation zone after being sold off; fundamentals are excellent, it has turned profitable, valuation is reasonable, and he sees no fundamental reason for the selling, expecting weak hands to be flushed before a sharp reversal.
Lyft accumulation zone, hold through volatility
Lyft is still in its accumulation zone and has not broken down; fundamentals are excellent, he entered at 14.7 and remains profitable, so he will sit through volatility and expects an eventual reversal.
