For FY25, Alibaba will continue to focus on user experience and investment in AIDC to foster revenue growth amid a highly competitive environment. Maintain BUY with a lower target price of HK$92.00 (US$92.00).

Temu achieved strong user engagement growth after sponsoring the Super Bowl in the US in February. We lift our global 2024 GMV forecast for Temu to US$38b from US$34b previously in view of the strong sales growth in Jan-Feb 24 boosted by the Super Bowl. We expect the launch of the new semi-entrusted model in March to further contribute to GMV growth in 2024.
