Like its U.S. counterparts, Alibaba is going all-in on generative AI. Its cloud computing business saw an 11 percent year-over-year increase in revenue in December 2024. AI-related product sales have experienced triple-digit growth for the sixth consecutive quarter, signaling strong enterprise demand for AI-powered solutions.

Alibaba Group has highlighted that it has been focusing more on these two sectors lately, with plans to integrate artificial intelligence across several of its divisions such as e-commerce and consumer applications.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s U.S.-listed stock fell nearly 7% on Monday after the online retailer said it plans to spend about $53 billion over the next three years on its cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence infrastructure. The spending plan amounts to nearly eight times its most recent quarterly profit of $6.7 billion.
