Alibaba’s AI push drives it to top China tech stock

Alibaba’s Hong Kong-listed shares surged 50% in September 2025, the best performance on the Hang Seng Tech Index, driven by investor enthusiasm for its AI push.

The company boosted AI spending and announced a partnership with Nvidia, which lifted market confidence.

Mainland investors bought HK$61 billion (US$7.8 billion) worth of Alibaba stock in September 2025, the highest monthly inflow in 2025.

Options trading showed rising bullish bets, while short interest in Alibaba’s US shares hit 6.8%, a five-year high.

Analysts say Alibaba is now viewed as an AI and cloud infrastructure leader, not just an ecommerce giant.
