The rapid e-commerce summer campaign may lead to greater losses, but user traffic and transaction volume trends remain robust. The firm reiterated its outperform rating on Alibaba. Based on the company's position as the best comprehensive technology giant from infrastructure to application layer, the target price has been lowered from HKD 229.1 to HKD 228.2. The firm has reduced its adjusted EBITA forecasts for Alibaba by 24% and 10% for the current and next fiscal years, reflecting the company's spending on rapid e-commerce and artificial intelligence training and inference.
