Stock Track06-02 10:28

Kingsoft Cloud's stock soared 5.07% during intraday trading on Tuesday, extending its recent strong rebound momentum.

The surge is driven by multiple catalysts including the growing traction of the open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw, which is boosting market expectations for cloud computing demand as AI transitions from answering questions to executing tasks. Additionally, the company's strong Q1 earnings showed total revenue up 37.2% year-over-year, with smart computing cloud billing revenue surging 90% to account for over half of public cloud revenue for the first time.

Further supporting the bullish sentiment, Kingsoft Cloud's board authorized a share buyback of up to 10% of outstanding shares, while Jefferies maintained a Buy rating with a US$19 target price. The broader context of global cloud vendors initiating rare computing power price increases also signals intensifying AI infrastructure scarcity, which benefits smaller-scale cloud providers like Kingsoft Cloud due to their higher earnings elasticity.
