Timeframe
Short-term (0–3 months)

Alibaba looks set for a bounce after a big slide. A recent 10-23 report kept a Buy rating with a $190 goal, and it noted possible automatic buying from investment funds. Near term cash is pressured because the company is spending more on AI and cloud. The overall trend is still weak, so we prefer easing in only if prices steady. If that happens and the market firms up, the stock could recover over the next 0-3 months toward recent highs.

Primary drivers

  • Barclays kept a Buy on 10-23 with a $190 target, showing renewed confidence
  • Shares look beaten down, while investor interest remains strong
  • Higher AI and cloud spending is lowering near-term cash generation
  • Rebound possible if signs show the recent slide is easing and buyers return

How it played out

BABA: target was not reached

Lyra published BABA on 2025-10-23 at $169.66, with an expected 30% move toward $220.56 over a short-term window. The thesis pointed to a kept Buy rating with a $190 goal, possible automatic buying from investment funds, beaten-down shares, pressured near-term cash from artificial intelligence and cloud spending, and a possible rebound if prices steadied.

Inside the window, BABA rose to $182.50 on 2025-10-29, a 7.6% peak gain. That was still below the $220.56 target. It never got there. By 2026-01-21, the stock ended at $168.67. The thesis only partially played out.

What happened during the window

On 2025-11-25, Alibaba reported quarterly revenue of 247.8 billion yuan and net income of 20.6 billion yuan. The same report said cloud revenue grew 34%. Business Insider reported on 2025-11-26 that Alibaba's Qwen app had passed 10 million downloads in its first week.
