Published: May 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Alibaba Group Holding Limited delivered solid 7% revenue and 36% EBITA growth despite geopolitics; its cloud segment's surging AI demand signals massive long-term potential—but watch U.S.-China relations closely.

Alibaba's long-term thesis hinges significantly on China embracing open, capitalist-friendly diplomacy; alignment here would dramatically amplify returns from today's valuation.
