$BABA-W(09988.HK)Many people still misunderstand Alibaba as merely an e-commerce company. In reality, its rapid progress in AI and cloud services is transforming it into a technology-driven growth company. Analysts generally lean toward a moderate buy to strong buy outlook on BABA shares.The launch of its latest AI model, Qwen 3.5, further demonstrates clear improvements in power and efficiency, signaling Alibaba’s strong commitment to competing in the generative AI race.I have the patience and conviction to hold BABA and ride the green dragon forward.

Ma Yun calls TB Flash Sale a “milestone battle”. Three years of no profit pressure. AWS spent $125B in 2025 to win cloud. $Alibaba(BABA.US) spending $12B to win instant retail. Same playbook, different arena. Market yawns. I accumulate. 🛒

Spotted a huge block trade for$BABA-W(9988.HK) this afternoon - 390k shares at HKD 154.6, a 2.5% discount. Around HKD 60 mil. Not auto-matched. Meanwhile, $Alibaba(BABA.US) options went crazy yesterday, some puts surged 2799% on a 3% drop. Big money moving or just hedging? What's the smart money seeing that we don't? 🧐

Latest quarter not yet reported, but last quarter cloud AI +34%, AI-related revenue triple-digit growth for 7 straight quarters. Management hinted 380bn RMB capex “maybe too small”. $Alibaba(BABA.US) is not a story stock, it’s an asset stock. 22x PE for AI+retail+cloud+international, optionality is free.

$Alibaba(BABA.US) often moves with China policy expectations rather than earnings itself. Recently AI narrative gives bulls new angle, but every rally still meets sellers. Until clear earnings acceleration, maybe more chop than trend 😅
