China ETFs in Spotlight as Beijing Softens GDP Growth Target for 2026

China trims its 2026 GDP goal to 4.5%-5%, putting ETFs like MCHI in focus as investors weigh tech-driven growth, stimulus effects and earnings outlook.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Retail traders debated whether the selloff is a buying opportunity or a sign that Chinese tech stocks have lost their appeal, and questioned why Alibaba has yet to announce its earnings date.</li><li>Goldman Sachs upgraded its BABA rating earlier this week, citing the company’s pole position in AI and cloud.</li><li>Stocktwits sentiment climbed to ‘extremely bullish’ to the highest point since Jan. 30.</li></ul>Even as markets around the world have rebounded from the initial shock of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war that broke out over the weekend, Alibaba shares have continued to slide at a fast clip.&nbsp;The stock has declined for six straight sessions, losing over 13%,&nbsp;and if the overnight momentum sustains, it is poised to mark its worst streak since April 2023. Shares dropped 3% in overnight trading, and the company’s Hong Kong-listed shares closed 2.5% lower&nbsp;on Thursday.&nbsp;Despite pockets of frustration, retail trader sentiment for BABA has, in fact, climbed higher, shifting to ‘extremely bullish’ (88/100) as of early Thursday, from ‘bullish’ the previous day, according to Stocktwits data. That’s the highest point since Jan. 30.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_05_at_2_26_11_PM_png_fc8a6e4643.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-05 at 2.26.11 PM.png" width="569" height="88"><figcaption>BABA sentiment and message volume as of March 5 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">BABA Draws Retail Buzz</h2>As of the time of publication, Alibaba had not&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/search/titlesearch.xhtml?lang=en">filed</a> any notice with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange regulator regarding the scheduled date for its fiscal third-quarter earnings, which many retail traders noticed.The ticker was trending among the top five on Stocktwits, with message volume rising 38% over the past 24 hours.&nbsp;While traders expressed extreme frustration over its performance and geopolitical pressures — and also over a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.stocktwits.com/dblitz1969/message/646641616">delay in setting</a> its earnings date — a strong counter-narrative highlights the stock as deeply oversold and poised for a rebound, citing strong positioning in the AI industry.“If it sinks down to $115.

BUY!” a user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/DeeBreeze/message/646641153">said</a> in a lighter vein, covering the bullish view. “The chart history tells all.”<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BABA">Alibaba shares</a> hit a record high of $192.67 on Oct. 2 and have cumulatively gained 73% in 2025.
