# Alibaba increases AI investment, stock price hits a four-year high

> Alibaba announced that it will invest over $53 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, and released the large model Qwen3-Max. The Hong Kong stock price rose over 9%, reaching a four-year high. The cumulative increase this year has doubled. CEO Eddie Wu stated that the investment scale will exceed the initial target of 380 billion yuan set at the beginning of the year, as the development of the AI industry and infrastructure demand "far exceeds expectations." Wall Street star fund manager Cathie Wood's ARK Invest made its first purchase of approximately $16.3 million in Alibaba's ADR

Alibaba announced that it will invest over $53 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure, and released its most powerful large model to date, Qwen3-Max. The stock price in Hong Kong rose over 9% on Wednesday, reaching a four-year high. The cumulative increase this year has already doubled. CEO Eddie Wu stated that the company's investment scale will exceed the previously proposed target of 380 billion yuan at the beginning of the year, as the demand for AI industry development and infrastructure "far exceeds expectations." Overseas funds have also regained interest, with Wall Street star fund manager Cathie Wood's ARK Invest purchasing approximately $16.3 million in Alibaba ADR for the first time in four years. Documents from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show that this is its first reallocation since September 2021
