Should you buy Alibaba stock? (January 2025)

Alibaba stock analysis. Ticker: $BABA
Alibaba just released a new large language model that outperforms Deepseek and the stock jumped by 7%, taking the company’s market value to 222 billion US dollars. Shares are now up 31% over the past year.
Chinese tech giant Alibaba poses a number of risks for investors. The company’s Variable Interest Entity structure means that foreign buyers get a derivative of the company and not direct ownership. The setup carries some legal risk that not all investors want to carry.
Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions, a heavy-handed government and economic weakness have all put pressure on the stock which is still down 70% from its 2020 high. And to top things off, the business of Alibaba has also underperformed.

I’m assuming JD is very similar

[@danguee1]

Good luck with that

[@zeshanfarooqui1]

No not similiar. No cloud play. No AI. Just an e-commerce play.

Delisting is not a real issue because you will get the shares on the hong kong exchange if that happens.

[@danguee1]

Yes - but delisting on US exchanges will depress the stock (including US demand). As WB says: the stock market is a *_voting machine_* in the short term
