Alibaba Group (ISIN US01609W1027) was trading at EUR 88.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026, at 11:10 a.m. CET. The company's latest reported quarter showed cloud growth accelerating as artificial-intelligence investment increased.
In its fiscal first quarter 2027, Alibaba reported revenue of RMB 269.0 billion, up 9 percent year over year, while Alibaba Cloud external revenue grew 45 percent. The figures were discussed in the earnings call dated August 20, 2026, covered by Webull.
Cloud growth reaches 45 percent
The cloud figure is the clearest operating counterweight to Alibaba's weaker profit profile. Adjusted EBITDA for the group fell 30 percent year over year to RMB 27.3 billion in fiscal first quarter 2027, while GAAP net income fell 75 percent to RMB 10.4 billion, according to the same earnings-call coverage.
Alibaba said AI-related product revenue reached an annual run rate of RMB 49.5 billion in the quarter. That amount represented 35 percent of external cloud revenue, giving the investment cycle a measurable commercial output.
Why is AI investment the counterweight?
Management said capital expenditures reached RMB 67.7 billion in fiscal first quarter 2027, while free cash flow was an outflow of RMB 44.7 billion. The contrast matters because faster cloud sales are arriving alongside heavy infrastructure spending rather than immediate cash conversion.
Three dates shape the stock
On August 20, 2026, Alibaba discussed fiscal first quarter 2027 results with 9 percent group revenue growth. On October 8, 2026, Jefferies reiterated a USD 192.00 target, and on October 12, 2026, JPMorgan cut its target from USD 210.00 to USD 200.00 while keeping an Overweight rating, according to MarketBeat.
Next results date is November 24
Alibaba's next reported results are scheduled for November 24, 2026, according to Earnings Today. That date gives investors the next formal checkpoint for cloud growth, investment spending and profitability.
