Technical indicators suggest a 'Buy' signal for the stock, supported by Wall Street's optimism due to Alibaba's U.S. market momentum and AI investments. The stock has risen nearly 50% this year, with a Strong Buy consensus rating and a price target of $167.13, indicating a potential upside of 32.05%.

Alibaba (BABA) is set to release its fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 earnings next week on May 15. The analysts currently forecast earnings of $1.73 per share, up 24% from the year-ago quarter.

Ahead of the earnings report, technical indicators suggest that Alibaba stock is a Buy on a one-day timeframe, hinting at more upside to come.

But it's not just the technical charts backing the bullish case. Wall Street analysts are also optimistic about the stock, pointing to Alibaba's recent momentum in the U.S. market and its investments in AI. Notably, its B2B platform, Alibaba.com, recently topped the iOS App Store's shopping list, showing rising interest from U.S. businesses. At the same time, Alibaba is fully embracing AI and cloud technology. Led by CEO Eddie Wu, the company plans to invest over $50 billion in AI infrastructure over the next three years.
