Alibaba: The Cloud Business Is Valued By The Market At Less Than Zero
BABA
Published: August 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Alibaba Cloud faces significant headwinds, but its pivot to high-margin AI services and its deeply depressed valuation present a compelling long-term opportunity.

Alibaba: The Calm Before The AI Storm
BABA
Published: July 16, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I think the market is blind to Alibaba's AI potential, where cloud revenue is seeing triple-digit growth, creating an opportunity similar to Amazon's early internet days. Trading at a cheap 12.7x forward P/E, my model suggests a $136 price target, offering ~19% upside, with more potential if analysts are wrong. Wall Street analysts may be mistakenly cutting earnings estimates, creating a low bar, and ignoring the massive, long-term monetization potential of Alibaba's AI ecosystem.
