What the Analysts think about Alibaba
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Alibaba stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Alibaba’s Cloud Intelligence Unit posted 18% year-on-year revenue growth to RMB30.13 billion in the March quarter, powered by faster public cloud expansion and increasing uptake of AI-related offerings (Reuters).
The company plans to invest over 380 billion yuan (US $53 billion) in AI infrastructure—such as data centers and cloud capacity—across the next three years, reinforcing its leadership in AI and cloud services (Bloomberg).
Alibaba’s core China commerce platforms, Taobao and Tmall, remained resilient with nearly 9% year-on-year revenue growth in the March quarter, reflecting ongoing customer acquisition and growing order volumes despite broader economic weakness (Reuters).
New draft regulations by China's National Development and Reform Commission would require Alibaba to standardize and disclose its pricing mechanisms across e-commerce platforms, which could restrict its use of promotional pricing to drive volume growth (Reuters).
Alibaba is struggling to monetize its AI investments as users resist paid services and competition has pushed API pricing down by up to 97%, while cloud revenue growth slowed to just 4.3% quarter-over-quarter, putting pressure on its high-margin cloud segment (Reuters).
Even though Taobao and Tmall revenues grew 9% year-on-year, Alibaba narrowly missed overall quarterly revenue estimates for March, with intense price competition from JD.com and Pinduoduo squeezing margins and limiting topline growth (Reuters).
