Cloud Hosting

Because of the pandemic and the working from home initiative, you might have heard people talking about the cloud or cloud computing a lot this year.

Cloud computing is best described as the on-demand availability of computer system resources such as data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.

Its what allows you to stream endless hours of TV shows via Netflix, do your accounting at home with Xero Limited (ASX: XRO), or communicate with your colleagues via Zoom.

While the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of cloud-based products, theres still a long way to go before cloud computing growth plateaus.

Especially due to new technologies and the arrival of 5G internet. The latter is expected to create new cloud-based applications and opportunities that were impossible with previous networks.

This bodes well for companies with exposure to the cloud and could underpin strong demand for their products and services over the next decade.

Which companies will benefit on the Australian share market? Three ASX shares with exposure to cloud-computing are listed below:

Macquarie Telecom is a provider of telco and hosting services to corporate and government customers. It is the latter offering that is expected to be the key driver of growth for the company over the coming years. Its Hosting segment has been growing at a strong rate and appears well-positioned to continue this trend. Especially after recent capacity expansions were made in order to capture the increasing demand for data centre services in Australia.

Megaport offers scalable bandwidth for public and private cloud connections, metro ethernet, and data centre backhaul. It has networking equipment in hundreds of data centres around the world. This has created a software layer that provides an easy way for users to create and manage network connections. For example, through the Megaport network, users can create and run a global network with or without the need for physical infrastructure. Demand has been strong for its services this year, leading to Megaport reporting a 57% increase in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) to $5.7 million in FY 2020.

NEXTDC is an innovative data centre company which operates a collection of world class centres in key locations across Australia. Demand for its services has been growing very strongly in recent years and particularly in 2020. This has led to the company accelerating the construction of new centres in order to meet the rising demand. In addition to this, management recently revealed that it is looking into expanding into the Asia market in the near future.

Cloud Computing Market with Forecast , Organization Sizes, Top Vendors, Industry Research and End User Analysis By 2025 - The Haitian-Caribbean News...

Alibaba Group Holding(NYSE:BABA) has seen its shares get hit hard over the past month. Theyve dropped some 17% in value since the end of October. However, the company is performing very well in 2020. Before the slide, BABA stock had posted 66% growth on the year.

Since then, Alibaba shares have been hurt by the dual threats of being delisted from U.S. exchanges and scrutiny from the Chinese government.

However, assuming the company is able to navigate these regulatory hurdles, Alibaba is looking great. And its on track to keep posting growth with its cloud investment finally shifting into the black.

Like American tech giants, Alibaba has been investing heavily in cloud computing. Data centers are expensive to bring online and operate, and competition in the industry is fierce. In September, the company announced that investment is beginning to pay off.

The companys CFO told CNBC that the cloud computing division will become profitable for the first time in this current fiscal year. CEO Daniel Zang called cloud computing a growth engine for his company, describing it as the kind of opportunity that comes only once in a generation.

This is a big deal with considerable long-term upside for BABA stock.

When Alibaba released September quarter earnings results last month, cloud computing was spiked out again:

cloud computing revenue grew 60% year-over- year, driven by the acceleration in digitalization across all industries and businesses of all sizes in China. We are happy to see that our strategic investments are starting to see improving operational efficiencies and the effect of scale.

Cloud revenue was $2.19 billion for the quarter, up 60% year-over-year. In addition Alibaba drew attention to its success in signing up clients:

As of September 30, 2020, approximately 60% of A-share listed companies are customers of Alibaba Cloud, and their average spending grew 45% year-over-year in September 2020.

The global cloud computing market is expected to be worth $371.4 billion 2020. Thats huge, but it is also growing rapidly. Projections have that market hitting $832.1 billion in 2025. Thats a CAGR of 17.5%.

But it gets better for Alibaba investors. The Asia Pacific market is expected to see the most growth during that time, outpacing North America. And the country within that area projected to lead the way in cloud computing growth? China. Alibabas home turf.

Alibaba is seeing significant growth across all its business units, including its core e-commerce business. The biggest risk associated with this company lies in the current tension between the American and Chinese governments.

Legislation voted on in the House will force Chinese stocks listed on U.S. exchanges to comply with a yearly audit by American regulators. If passed, this would give Alibaba and other Chinese stocks three years to comply, or they would be forced off U.S. stock markets. In addition, the Chinese government is stepping up antitrust scrutiny of internet-based companies like Alibaba.

These actions have been a drag on BABA stock, especially over the past month.

Investment analysts love Alibaba perhaps even more than I do. Its a company that has a large following, and an overwhelmingly positive one. The Wall Street Journal is tracking 54 analysts who cover BABA. Two holdouts have a hold rating on the stock. Three have it rated as overweight and 49 rate it as a buy.

Heres the bottom line on BABA stock. There is some risk involved, especially from the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. So in Portfolio Grader, BABA gets a B rating. However, the vast majority of investment analysts agree with my view: the risk is worth it.

Alibaba is an e-commerce powerhouse and a growing cloud computing player. If youre searching for a company that has enormous long-term growth potential, BABA is well worth investing in.
