Analyst Joyce Ju from Bank of America Securities reiterated a Buy rating on Alibaba and increased the price target to $175.00 from $172.00.
Joyce Ju has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, notably Alibaba’s clearer financial targets for its AI-driven cloud strategy and the potential upside from improved execution. Management now provides trackable benchmarks, including specific cash payback periods, ROIC ranges and free cash flow improvements, while early signs of faster cloud revenue growth and margin expansion support confidence in that roadmap.
Joyce Ju’s rating is based on Alibaba’s differentiated full-stack AI capabilities and strengthened cloud outlook, which together underpin an upward revision of the price objective to $175. The company’s integrated position across chips, infrastructure, models and applications, coupled with robust e-commerce profitability that funds AI investment, leads her to expect sustainable value creation and makes the stock attractive at its current valuation.
