Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 10 days.
The thesis — published September 7, 2025
Alibaba looks promising, but government policy news could move the stock, so be careful. The company previewed its very large Qwen AI model and posted solid cloud results; a major bank lifted its target to 187. China is pushing homegrown AI chips, which helps. The price trend looks firm, but buzz may lead the numbers. Over the next 3 months, buy small dips with strict limits to handle headline swings.
Primary drivers
- Cloud business is improving, and the new Qwen AI model adds momentum
- Price trend looks strong with lots more people buying than usual
- Investor excitement is high, possibly ahead of actual business results
- Government rules and policy shifts could weigh on the company
