The report highlights that Alibaba has been undervalued regarding the burgeoning demand for AI-driven cloud computing and the enduring strength of its core e-commerce business.

Over the next three years, Alibaba intends to invest over 380 billion yuan in cloud and AI hardware infrastructure, marking a new milestone for investment in this sector by a private Chinese enterprise.
