Alibaba to Raise $10 Billion via Share Sale for AI Expansion
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. plans to raise about HK 80 billion (approximately $10 billion) through a share sale to fund its expansion in artificial intelligence. The company is offering 710 million shares at a slight discount, with proceeds aimed at enhancing AI infrastructure and full-stack capabilities. Despite a 75% profit decline in the June quarter and significant cash outflows due to AI investments, Alibaba remains a leading AI and cloud computing player in China, focusing on large-language model development and related technologies.
