Cryptos are making a comeback, and mining plays like SOS Limited (NYSE:SOS) are gaining ground as a result. But SOS stock is linked to two elements every investor is skeptical about these days, China and Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD).

SOS is headquartered in Qingdao, China. It has recently started developing blockchain operations in the U.S. through a joint venture with partner Niagara Worldwide, a New Jersey limited liability company. Niagara Development will be responsible for providing up to 150MW of electricity for the mining rigs. Chinese authorities are clamping down heavily on cryptocurrency. So, this is definitely a welcome move.

On the one hand it’s fundamentally worth much more than it currently trades for. There’s a clear buy-the-dip opportunity present. Of course, any investors who currently do so are certainly aware of the broader context of such an investment.

In April, Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a record fine of $2.8 billion. The stock rallied 9.3% that day, in hopes that the worst was behind it. While there hasn’t been a lot of Alibaba-specific issues since, the fear from investors remains as the Chinese government continues to rail against tech in general. It’s impacted Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) and others too.

After spending the first half of 2018 in investors’ good graces, Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has fallen out of favor yet again. As late as May of last year, China’s internet search leader was clocking all-time highs but had lost more than 40% of its value going into its latest earnings report. What caused this perilous fall from grace? Two quarters of decelerating growth, fears regarding China’s slowing economy, and the ongoing trade conflict between Washington, D.C. and Beijing conspired to knock Baidu back down to size.

Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Keith Noonan]
Shares of NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) fell 11.4%% in February, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite positive momentum for Chinese tech stocks and the broader market, the online media company’s share price tumbled in the lead-up to its fourth-quarter earnings release.
- [By Leo Sun]
Its live broadcasting revenue surged as it added more virtual gifts and premium content, the ad business benefited from more brand ads and the introduction of performance-based ads in the prior year quarter, and its e-commerce business — which was recently integrated into Alibaba’s Taobao marketplace — saw a spike in product sales. Bilibili’s recent acquisition of NetEase’s (NASDAQ:NTES) online comics business should further bolster its “other” revenue.
- [By Leo Sun]
NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) reported its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 20. Its revenue rose 36% annually to RMB 19.84 billion ($2.89 billion), which missed the USD guidance by $20 million but marked its third straight quarter of accelerating sales growth.
