On August 4, Alibaba rose 3.15% overnight, trading at $130.29/share, with turnover of $17.03 million.
The rally was driven by a confluence of catalysts. Alibaba officially launched its next-generation foundation model Qwen3.8-Max, featuring 2.4 trillion parameters with significantly enhanced coding and professional collaboration capabilities. On authoritative third-party benchmark Arena, the model ranks just behind Anthropic's Claude series, placing it in the global first tier. The API is already live on the Qianwen AI platform at 24%-40% of competitor Opus5's international pricing.
On the institutional front, Citi reiterated a Buy rating with a $192 target price, citing positive cloud revenue growth expectations. Morgan Stanley similarly highlighted accelerating Alibaba Cloud revenue as a key stock catalyst. Additionally, Moonshot AI reportedly signed a computing power agreement with Alibaba to access a cluster of approximately 20,000 NVIDIA chips, further validating Alibaba Cloud's commercialization capabilities.
