  • ALIBABA IN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) WORLD: Alibaba has showed off its generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) model (Tongyi Qianwen) (its version of the tech that powers Chabot sensation ChatGPT), and said it would be integrated into all of the company's apps in the near future. They have also invested into separate A.I. start- up, valued at 2.5 billion dollars, which specializes in social A.I.

CHINA: RECENT ECONOMIC DATA

  • APRIL 16: CHINA GDP (Q1) AT 5.3% (PREVIOUS 5.2%). The Chinese economy exceeded expectations in the first quarter, with growth reaching 5.3% compared to the anticipated 4.8% and, more importantly, it grew strongly than the Q4 (5.2%). That gave investors indications that recent government and monetary policy measures to support growth worked. This in turn has had positive impact on investors’ sentiment, providing support also to the Chinese stocks such as Alibaba.

ALIBABA: ANALYSIS AND EVENTS

  • EVENT (MAY 14, TUESDAY, PREMARKET): Q1 EARNINGS REPORT. According to Bloomberg, Alibaba is expected to report 30.35 billion dollars in revenue and net income of 3.6 billion dollars.

The table below shows that the Alibaba stock rose on average 5.16% in the period of one week before the earnings date.
