Morgan Stanley released a research report predicting that BABA-W (09988.HK)(BABA.US) will see its cloud business revenue grow by 32% YoY in 2FQ26 ended September 2025.

Its EBITA profit margin for the cloud business is expected to remain between 8% and 9%, further strengthening its position as 'China's Best AI Enabler', which outweighs short-term profit pressures from investments in instant retail and losses from other businesses. The broker reiterated rating at Overweight on BABA-W's ADR.
