VIPS has recently become my favourite Chinese ADR. You can think of them as $AMZN or $ETSY of China. They have a very strong brand and healthy business model, growing in double digits every year.
After massive sell-off of Chinese stocks, especially ADRs quoted in the US, this may be an opportunity of a year. Let us look closer into the business.

The stock has 8 Strong Buy ratings, 13 Buy Ratings and 6 Hold. Average PT is 32.91 and we are currently trading at almost half this, creating a 93% Upside.
Given the recent China clampdown on ADRs and big tech, we have seen a big slump in almost all Chinese businesses. VIPS has entered my radar and I love the simplicity of its business model, the profitability ratios and no debt whatsoever.
YTD performance is -39.31%, so if we just get back to that, we will make almost 40%. ROI is currently above 50% and at 83.85% in FY3 which is the highest I have seen in a while.

VIPS is the leading Online Discount Retailer in China with great growth prospects, no debt and established position in the market. China's Online Retail market grew from RMB 1.9T to 10.8T between 2013 and 2020. That is 10X growth and the industry continues its momentum.
The fragmented market in China creates even more opportunities for VIPS to consolidate its leadership position. More information can be found in the recent (May 2021) Investors Presentation under the following link: https://ir.vip.com/static-files/7bfc3573-5e54-4ca8-b5ba-bf779a2f1941
