What the Analysts think about Alibaba
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Alibaba stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Alibaba stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Alibaba Cloud’s external revenue rose 45% in the June quarter, while AI-related product revenue grew at a triple-digit rate for the twelfth consecutive quarter. That is evidence the AI build-out is translating into customer demand. (Alibaba Group)
Cloud’s EBITA margin rose to 12%, indicating that the fast-growing business is also improving its profitability. Better margins would help Alibaba earn a return on its heavy infrastructure investment. (Alibaba Group)
Alibaba said quick commerce improved its unit economics quarter on quarter while maintaining market share. If that progress continues, its instant-delivery push may become less of a drag on group earnings. (Alibaba Group)
Net profit fell 75% in the June quarter as capital expenditure rose 75% amid the AI infrastructure push. The scale of spending is weighing heavily on current earnings and cash generation. (Reuters)
Alibaba raised HK$80 billion through a share placement to fund AI development, and its shares fell 8% after the deal was finalised. Issuing new shares dilutes existing holders and highlights the size of its funding needs. (Reuters)
China e-commerce customer-management revenue fell 7% in the June quarter, with Alibaba citing weaker transaction activity; on a like-for-like basis it grew just 1%. That points to continued pressure on monetisation in its core retail business. (Alibaba Group)
