Alibaba Cloud's revenue grew 40% year-over-year, driven by AI products which now account for about 30% of total cloud revenue. The AI revenue run rate surpassed RMB36 billion as demand for enterprise AI tokens and inferencing rose across industries. Alibaba holds nearly $38 billion in cash, enabling aggressive AI infrastructure expansion without heavy reliance on external debt. However, free cash flow turned negative by RMB17.3 billion due to increased AI infrastructure and server deployment costs. Meanwhile, China's e-commerce EBITA fell 40% YoY, as Alibaba shifts focus from retail growth to higher-margin enterprise AI monetization.
