0546 GMT - Alibaba's cloud business revenue is expected to accelerate due to a strong uptick in AI demand, according to HSBC Global Research analysts. They note that the core business revenue for the December quarter was a positive surprise, driven by better-than-expected customer management, commission growth and cloud expansion. As a result, the brokerage lifts its fiscal year 2026 cloud revenue growth forecast to 17%, up from the previous 12%. Analysts also highlight the potential for upside catalysts in Alibaba's AI cloud revenue, with a surge in demand observed from January to February. Approximately 60% to 70% of new customer demand is related to AI inference, they add. HSBC maintains a buy rating for Alibaba's ADR and raises the target price to $160.00 from $128.00. The ADRs last closed at $135.97. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
