Breakthrough AI tool: The launch of ZEROSEARCH—a framework Alibaba says can cut large-language-model training costs by up to 90%—has investors betting on stronger AI margins and a more competitive position in cloud computing. Local government backing: Alibaba’s home province rolled out an AI spending spree to become an “innovation hub,” suggesting accelerated domestic adoption of its technology offerings. Analyst upgrades vs. downgrade: Susquehanna reaffirmed its positive rating on BABA with a $175 price target, while the consensus analyst target sits at $154.21. A separate downgrade earlier weighed on the stock, but solid reiterations have since reignited buying interest. These catalysts have outweighed short-term headwinds, supporting an overall uptick in investor sentiment toward BABA shares.Posted 5m agoAI generated BABA Latest News All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat Benzinga Bloomberg GlobeNewswire GuruFocus MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ PR Newswire Reuters Seeking Alpha TalkMarkets The Street TipRanks The Wall Street Journal Wall Street Zen Yahoo Finance Source Sentiment refers to the positivity or negativity of each headline according to our language processing algorithm.
