The AI industry has fully entered the "agent era," a paradigm where AI models do far more than generate text — they now actively plan, execute, and course-correct complex tasks over days rather than seconds. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising to see Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's famed Qwen Team of AI researchers release a model capable of performing autonomous agentic AI work over multiple days: that model has arrived in the form of Qwen3.7-Max which the company reports in a blog post achieved "~35 hours of continuous autonomous execution" — albeit, in a proprietary, not open source format, as prior Qwen Team releases were.

Despite the Q4 revenue miss, BABA's transition from traditional e-commerce to AI and quick commerce continues and is expected to reach a key inflection point in FY2027.

The disposals of Sun Art and Intime continued to weigh on BABA's year-over-year total revenue growth, but there will be no major impact in FY2027.

Chinese tech giant unveils domestically built processor hours before the US chipmaker's hotly anticipated results Whether by coincidence or design, Alibaba chose to unveil its latest artificial intelligence chip just hours before Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD), the dominant force in AI processors, reports one of the most closely watched sets of quarterly results this earnings season. The timing puts a spotlight on the intensifying competition Nvidia faces, not just from Chinese rivals building domestic alternatives under the pressure of US export curbs, but from an increasingly crowded field of Western challengers too.

Alibaba's latest AI chip has given investors another reason to look past near-term profit pressure. The Chinese technology giant unveiled the Zhenwu M890 on May 19, a processor it says delivers three times the performance of its predecessor, with 144GB of GPU memory and faster chip-to-chip communication for heavy AI workloads.

Despite slowing e-commerce and margin pressure, BABA's valuation remains attractive, supported by a shift toward enterprise and proprietary AI monetization.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited is upgraded to Buy, targeting $180 (22.5x $8 EPS), offering nearly 30% upside if profitability and China discount ease. BABA is pivoting from traditional China value to an AI/cloud growth platform, with heavy strategic investment depressing current earnings and free cash flow. Cloud segment is the clearest return pool, with revenue up 38% and EBITA up 57% year-over-year, while broader capex focuses on AI, user acquisition, and experience.

Alibaba Group is experiencing a pivotal AI-driven growth phase, with cloud and AI monetization finally materializing. BABA's Q4 2026 results revealed accelerating Cloud Intelligence revenues (+38% YoY) and robust external customer growth (+40%), despite headline earnings and revenue misses.
