Timeframe

Short-term (0–3 months)

Alibaba looks ready to rebound after a long slump. Investor mood is improving, and new updates help: its cloud team says sharing AI chips can cut Nvidia H20 use by 82%, lowering costs and speeding service. A noted fund bought about $12.3M of shares. If China worries ease and online shopping stays firm, the stock could recover in three months, but policy and geopolitics still matter.

Primary drivers

Shares fell hard, but investor mood has improved recently among buyers
New AI chip-sharing in the cloud cuts costs and improves speed
A respected fund bought shares, hinting at rising interest from institutions
If worries about China ease, investors may accept lower risk discounts

How it played out

BABA: target was not reached

Lyra published BABA at $167.05 for a short-term window from 2025-10-18 to 2026-01-16. The thesis expected 27% growth and pointed to improved investor mood, cloud chip-sharing that could lower Nvidia H20 use by 82%, a fund purchase of about $12.3M, and a possible easing of China worries.

Inside the window, BABA rose to a peak of $182.50 on 2025-10-29, a 9.2% gain. That stayed below the $212.15 target. It never got there. The stock ended at $165.40. The thesis partly played out early, but the published target missed.

What happened during the window

On 2025-11-14, reports said Alibaba denied allegations from a leaked White House memo. On its July-September 2025 quarter report, Alibaba said cloud revenue rose 34% and total revenue rose 5%. These were company events during the window, not stated causes of the stock move.
