Alibaba Reports Revenue Growth and AI Cloud Surge Amid Rising Investor Interest
Alibaba reported a 9% rise in quarterly revenue driven by a 45% surge in its AI cloud business and an extended shopping festival boosting e-commerce. The company increased capital expenditures by 75% to invest in AI infrastructure. Alibaba's shares rose 34% this quarter, outperforming peers as its AI investments across generative models, cloud, and chips rekindled investor interest. Analysts expect 8.4% revenue growth for the June quarter, marking the fastest pace in nearly three years despite anticipated profit declines due to heavy spending.
