In terms of news, the company’s Q2 fiscal revenue grew by 2% year-on-year, falling short of expectations, while net profit soared by 76% to 42.4 billion yuan, mainly due to gains from changes in the fair value of equity investments.

Alibaba Cloud revenue grew by 26% year-on-year, and AI-related product revenue achieved triple-digit year-on-year growth for eight consecutive quarters.

Over the past four quarters, more than 100 billion yuan has been cumulatively invested in AI infrastructure and AI product R&D.
