Alibaba Group Holding Limited (US01609W1027) faces a higher Wall Street target after BofA lifted its forecast from USD 175.00 to USD 178.00 on October 9, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Cloud growth lifts the debate

The more immediate earnings question is whether cloud profitability can offset pressure in Alibaba's core commerce operations. In a report dated October 21, 2026, UOB Kay Hian maintained its Buy rating and raised its target to HKD 189.00 from HKD 188.00. The research firm expects September-quarter revenue to grow 9.00 percent year over year to RMB 270.00 billion.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Alibaba's NYSE quote was USD 102.17 on October 22, 2026 at 10:51 a.m. ET. The same quote stood 2.15 percent below the previous session level, while the 52-week range was USD 91.99 to USD 182.50. At USD 102.17, the stock was 44.02 percent below that high. Its market capitalization was USD 254.2 billion.

What matters before November 24?

Alibaba is scheduled to announce second-quarter fiscal 2027 results on November 24, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. UOB expects adjusted EBITA of RMB 29.00 billion and cloud revenue growth above 50.00 percent for the September quarter. Its forecast compares with adjusted EBITA of RMB 9.10 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, although the estimate remains subject to the performance of commerce and instant retail.

Alibaba stock and its next catalyst

The competing signals are clear: analyst targets remain materially above the current US price, while the next report must show whether cloud growth is translating into profit. In Germany, the euro quotation was EUR 91.45 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 4:38 p.m. CEST, 1.88 percent below the Xetra close of October 21, 2026 at EUR 93.20.
