Alibaba's Trading Volume Ranks 12th Amidst 20% Stock Plunge

On April 7, 2025, Alibaba's trading volume reached 65.24 billion, ranking 12th in the day's stock market activity. The stock experienced a 9.06% decline, marking its fourth consecutive day of losses, with a total drop of 20.14% over the past four days.

Alibaba is racing to secure Nvidia H20 chips for Apple as a potential U.S. ban looms. This move comes amidst escalating trade tensions, with the U.S. threatening additional tariffs on Chinese goods, which has led to a significant sell-off in Chinese tech stocks, including Alibaba.

Despite the recent downturn, Alibaba has been strengthening its AI investments, with improved cloud revenue projections and the development of new AI models. The company's Qwen 2.5-Omni-7B multimodal model has set new AI benchmarks, and Alibaba is preparing to release a flagship AI model as soon as April.

Alibaba's strategic partnerships, such as its collaboration with BMW for AI-driven cars, further position the company to capitalize on the growing AI market in China. The company's AI model, optimized for smartphones, is seen as a potential key for Apple to boost its presence in China.

However, Alibaba's chairman has issued warnings about a potential AI 'data center bubble,' cautioning investors about the risks associated with the rapid growth in AI investments. This sentiment has contributed to the recent volatility in Alibaba's stock price.
