Shares jumped 7% after the U.S. let Nvidia sell H20 chips to China again. Even with that boost, the stock costs only seven times its yearly cash profit and sits below its recent average price. A $25 billion share buyback plus possible stock listings of its delivery and grocery arms could unlock extra value. The price has been bouncing between $104 and $115, and fast-changing Chinese rules keep our confidence only moderate.

Primary drivers

  • Nvidia chip approval lifts hopes for faster growth in Alibaba’s cloud unit.
  • $25 billion buyback cuts shares by 13%, making each remaining share more valuable.
  • A move above $115 could draw in extra buyers and push the price up quickly.
  • Listing Cainiao or Freshippo could turn hidden parts of the business into cash.
