Alibaba Won't Disrupt Nvidia With 7nm Chips.
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: China Easing Monetary Policy Is A Bullish Catalyst
Published: August 28, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I reiterate my Buy rating on Alibaba Group Holding Limited, driven by China's ongoing monetary easing, which is set to boost consumer spending and revenue growth. 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.

Alibaba: Buy The E-Commerce Giant And Get AI And Cloud For Free
Published: August 26, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Alibaba Group Holding Limited is deeply undervalued, trading at 14x forward earnings despite aggressive $53B AI investment and strong cloud/AI growth. The market ignores Alibaba's successful pivot from e-commerce to AI/cloud, giving little value to its rapidly expanding tech segments.

Cloud growth, rapid AI adoption, and restructuring efforts—like merging Ele.me and Fliggy—are key drivers supporting Alibaba's long-term value. Upcoming Q1 earnings and continued progress in cloud and AI could trigger renewed share price momentum by year-end, justifying an attractive risk-return profile.

Alibaba Executes On AI Bet, DeepSeek Paves The Way
Published: August 25, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I maintain a Buy rating on Alibaba Group Holding Limited stock ahead of Q1 '26 earnings. My bullish stance is driven by strong AI and cloud growth as key long-term tailwinds. Alibaba's aggressive $53B AI/cloud investment and resilient e-commerce trends position it for margin surprises despite modest topline growth. BABA stock valuation remains attractive, with discounted forward multiples, above-average growth, and sector-leading profitability supporting further upside.

Published: August 22, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I maintain my bullish stance on Alibaba since early 2025, betting on the company's AI leadership potential in the less competitive Chinese market. The upcoming August 29th earnings could trigger a breakout after a 20% correction, with technical consolidation above the 52-week moving average line.
