In "Great Action", Lyon expects Alibaba (BABA.US) to improve its year-on-year revenue growth to 5.5% last quarter.
Lyon released a report indicating that Alibaba (BABA.US) is expected to improve its total revenue growth for the last fiscal quarter to a year-on-year increase of 5.5%, with revenue reaching 275 billion yuan, driven by the transaction volume of commodities on Taobao and Tmall and customer management revenue (CMR) due to the promotion of the old-for-new policy and improved monetization capabilities. International E-Commerce continues to grow, with deeper user penetration on AliExpress and Trendyol expanding geographically. Alibaba Cloud's growth is driven by strong demand for AI products, potentially returning to double digits. The bank stated that considering the ongoing investments in E-Commerce, adjustments have been made.
Wall Street Analysts are Bullish on the "Stargate" project: it may usher in a large-scale AI investment era in the USA.
Analysts indicate that the "Stargate" project announced by Trump may herald a "massive" AI investment era in the USA, although its broader impacts may remain unknown for some time.
The world is focused on the "Stargate," and the biggest question is: where does the 500 billion come from?
Gavin Baker, a renowned TMT investor in the USA, believes that 500 billion dollars is an "absurd number," unless SoftBank decides to sell all of its stocks in Alibaba and Arm. It has been reported that a significant portion of the 100 billion dollar investment is expected to come from unidentified new investors, possibly consisting of equity from founding partners and co-investors as well as debt. Microsoft stated that the company's 80 billion dollar capital expenditure budget this year is unrelated to the "Stargate."
Citi's report "Big Companies": The trade-in policy further supports steady growth in first-quarter revenues. Recently, the priority order for e-commerce is JD.com (JD.US), Alibaba (BABA.US), and PDD Holdings (PDD.US).
Citi has released a research report stating that following the recent expansion and extension of the old-for-new policy by the mainland government, the subsidy activity officially started on January 20. The bank pointed out that the original old-for-new policy boosted the performance of JD.com (JD.US) and Alibaba (BABA.US), and it is expected that the revenue growth in the fourth quarter of last year exceeded expectations. Therefore, Citi believes that extending the relevant policy to this year and covering more 3C category products should further support steady revenue growth in the first quarter. The bank reiterated that the recent priority for e-commerce is JD.com (JD.US), Alibaba (BABA.US), and PDD Holdings (PDD.US).
