Alibaba Won't Disrupt Nvidia With 7nm Chips.
BABA, NVDA
Published: September 03, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Despite positive momentum and a cheap FWD P/E ~18, I maintain a long-term Sell rating on Alibaba Group Holding Limited stock due to lack of a compelling growth story and persistent secular bearishness. Recent earnings show stagnant growth at 2% YoY (10% adjusted for divestitures), with declining operating income, EBITDA, EPS, and FCF, signaling underlying weakness despite a bullish stock reaction. Alibaba's Cloud grew 26% YoY but lags behind Google's 31%, Microsoft's 27%, and Oracle's accelerating 25-40% growth, holding just 4% global market share and unlikely to drive overall company growth. Alibaba's alleged 7nm AI chips, unconfirmed by management, cannot …

Alibaba's dominant 50% market share in China's e-commerce positions it to benefit most from rising disposable incomes and expanding consumer demand. International commerce is accelerating, aided by monetary policy and an extended U.S.-China trade truce, supporting further revenue growth beyond domestic markets.
