Alibaba at USD 160: Conviction in the Crossfire
πππTrump has just reignited the trade war with a 100% tariff blitz on China. The market recoiled. Alibaba $Alibaba(BABA)$
The TACO Trade : Trump Always Chickens Out:
Wall Street coined it: TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. His Tariff tantrums trigger selloffs, only to be reversed when he softens or exempts key sectors like electronics.
Investors now play the TACO Trade like poker : Buy the dip, bet on the bluff. But this time, the stakes feel higher. Rare Earths. Qualcomm probes. Soybean bans. It is not just policy. It is pride.
Yet history whispers : Trump blinks. Markets rebound. Alibaba : the phoenix of China tech, rises from the ashes.
Alibaba's ECommerce : The Cash Flow King
Taobao and TMall remain China's digital lifeblood. Even amid regulatory storms, Alibaba's retail ecosystem generates massive free cash flow, funding innovation across logistics, fintech and global expansion. It is not just a marketplace. It is a moat.
Qwen: The AI Operating System of the Future
At Aspara 2025, Alibaba Cloud unveiled Qwen3-Max, a trillion parameter LLM with ultra long context windows, multilingual fluency and agentic capabilities. It is powerful.
With over 600 million downloads, 170,000 derivative models and over 1 million users, Qwen is becoming the operating system of the AI era.
There are also :
Qwen3-Omni: Multimodal genius - text, image, audio and video.
Qwen3-Coder: Enterprise grade code generation.
Wan2.5: Visual generation for media and design.
RMB 380 billion investment : Alibaba's moonshot into AI infrastructure.
Analysts Conviction :
Despite the volatility, Wall Street remains bullish.
Consensus rating : Strong Buy
Average target price : USD 184 to USD 193.
High targets : USD 230 to USD 245 from Jefferies, JPMorgan and Bernstein.
Concluding Thoughts : Is USD 160 a Trap or a Buy?
This isn't just a dip. It is a great opportunity to buy Alibaba as I believe it is undervalued. Buying Alibaba now is a bet on its resilience, on China's tech ambition and the idea that Trump 's TACO theatrics will not derail Alibaba's long term innovation and exponential growth.
At USD 160, Alibaba isn't a falling knife. It is a rising phoenix.
