Alibaba's recent earnings have dampened sentiment on Wall Street as the company missed both EPS and revenue estimates.

Alibaba (BABA 1.06%), the largest e-commerce and cloud company in China, went public at $68 per share on Sept. 18, 2014. It raised $25 billion, making it the largest IPO in history at the time, and it held that record until Saudi Aramco's $29.4 billion IPO in 2019.

BABA remains inherently undervalued, given its well diversified strengths in e-commerce, logistics, and cloud, despite the macro and geopolitical headwinds. Recent earnings highlight robust domestic e-commerce growth, surging cloud AI revenues, and strong international expansion, supporting its long-term upside potential. BABA's rich balance sheet and ongoing share buybacks provide a much needed margin of safety and shareholder value, with the aggressive AI investments eventually being top-line accretive.
