Alibaba is expected to report Q4 2025 revenue of $41.65 billion and an earnings per share of $1.73, with its current $136.65 stock price trading well below the average analyst target of $195.17.
Investors are primarily focused on the monetization path for the company's Qwen AI models and whether recent infrastructure spending is translating into sustained acceleration for the Cloud Intelligence Group.
Recent momentum is evidenced by the Qwen AI app reaching 203 million monthly active users, yet aggressive investments in "quick commerce" and deep subsidies to counter competition from PDD Holdings continue to compress overall margins. Management's guidance on the sustainability of triple-digit AI revenue growth will be critical as the stock remains down roughly 7% year-to-date.
