JP Morgan's report said that BABA-W (09988.HK) formally joined the Southbound Stock Connect on Tuesday (10th), with its share price soaring 4% on the day, vs the HSI's rise of 0.2% over the same period. It notched a capital inflow of $8.4 billion, accounting for 90% of the day's total southbound inflow, while its turnover tripled to $16.9 billion, accounting for 15% of the day's total Hong Kong stock turnover of $107 billion.

Although the broker expected the full impact of BABA-W's inclusion in the Southbound Stock Connect and the southbound capital inflow to take a few months to materialize, it believed that BABA-W's fundamental development of e-commerce in China will be a key share price driver for the company in the next 6-12 months.
