Alibaba (BABA) ‘Increasingly Attractive’ Despite Earnings Miss

Ron Westfall and Olivier Blanchard look through Alibaba (BABA) earnings, which missed estimates, and discuss the Chinese tech sector. Ron thinks the company is going through a “strategic pivot” and says the stock is becoming “increasingly attractive.” Their cloud intelligence division is “really delivering” and AI is booming; he notes its prebuilt customer base allows for fast adoption. Olivier agrees, adding that investors should remember these companies are in transition from e-commerce to AI and they are still “struggling to decouple” from their original revenue streams. He compares several Chinese tech companies and advises patience.
