Jefferies Raises Alibaba Price Target on Cloud and E-Commerce Momentum
Alibaba's stock surge reflects accelerating AI and cloud dominance. Jefferies' upgraded $178 target hinges on infrastructure leadership—its 35.8% AI cloud share eclipses three closest rivals combined. Triple-digit growth in AI-driven cloud revenue now exceeds 20% of external sales.
E-commerce synergies between Quick Commerce and traditional platforms compound the advantage. Analyst Thomas Chong's revised outlook mirrors institutional confidence in China's tech rebound—his 58% success rate across 10,018 tracked analysts underscores the weight of this bullish signal.
