Gaotu Techedu Inc. (GOTU) experienced a significant surge on Friday, soaring 5.84% in the past 24 hours. This rally was part of a broader uptrend in Chinese technology stocks, fueled by strong earnings reports and growing optimism around the sector.
One key driver behind GOTU's rally was the impressive performance of e-commerce giant Alibaba, which reported better-than-expected sales figures. Alibaba's ADRs jumped 8.1% on Thursday, and this positive sentiment spilled over to other Chinese tech stocks, including GOTU.
Additionally, Chinese ADRs and ETFs saw substantial gains in overnight trading, with the likes of Li Auto, XPeng, PDD Holdings, NIO, and Baidu all experiencing significant upswings. This broad-based rally reflected investors' renewed confidence in Chinese equities, particularly in the technology sector.
