Alibaba's Adjusted Earnings Per Share Likely Weighed by Higher Capex -- Market Talk

Dow Jones16:54

0854 GMT - Alibaba Group's FY 2027-28 adjusted earnings per share could be weighed by higher capital expenditure, say China Galaxy International analysts in a note. The Chinese technology company expects FY 2026-28 capex to exceed its previous guidance, given strong demand related to AI-related cloud services, the analysts note. They therefore trim their adjusted EPS forecasts for FY 2027-28 by 13%-14% and lowers its target price to HK$172 from HK$175 while retaining its add rating. The analysts cite potential revenue gains from its e-commerce growth as well as AI and cloud business expansion. Shares closed 0.45% lower at HK$131.70.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
