Alibaba's stock has fallen nearly 15% in the past month and is down 19% year-to-date, trading at $126.41. Despite recent revenue and profit misses, analyst Shyam Patil maintains a positive outlook with a $170 price target by the end of 2026, citing Alibaba's strong growth in AI cloud services and quick commerce. The company is investing heavily in AI infrastructure and expanding its cloud market share, which could drive future earnings growth. Key challenges include managing rising expenses and recovering free cash flow, but ongoing share buybacks and long-term investment in technology support a potential stock recovery.
