This week’s pullback in $TENCENT(00700)$ and $Alibaba(09988)$ feels more like a reset in expectations than a breakdown in fundamentals. I see the selloff driven mainly by concerns over rising AI capex, while their core businesses—Tencent’s gaming and ads, and Alibaba’s AI-driven cloud—remain strong.

That said, near-term risks are real. Both companies are ramping up investments, which will pressure earnings growth, and Alibaba’s weaker profitability plus losses in its “All Others” segment are a concern. Tencent’s lower buybacks also reduce downside support, so I expect volatility to continue as the market digests overcapex fears.

From a valuation standpoint, the dip is becoming more attractive. Tencent around 16x forward earnings and Alibaba’s long-term AI and cloud momentum look compelling. I see this as a gradual accumulation opportunity rather than a bottom call, and I’d scale in slowly if prices weaken further.

Alibaba Rises 4% on 3D World Model Launch — Top China AI Play?
Alibaba gained 3.98% today after unveiling its 3D world model "Happy Oyster" on April 16, expanding its AI product suite with a direct push into gaming and entertainment content production. Developed by the ATH Innovation division, the model uses a native multimodal architecture supporting real-time interactive AI digital world creation — a leap from passive generation to active simulation. Can $145 establish itself as the new support floor? Is Alibaba the top choice for AI exposure among Chinese ADRs?
