Based on reporting from yahoo-tickers-tape-movers.
Alibaba Group Holding climbed 12% over the past week as Apple selected its Qwen model for Chinese AI launches, outperforming a 5% decline in the Nasdaq 100. Investors rotated capital into discounted Chinese internet assets while awaiting the November 19 earnings report to gauge AI unit losses.

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: BABA) advanced 12% over the past week while the Nasdaq 100 fell 5%, driven by Apple selecting the Qwen model for upcoming Chinese AI integrations in December.
### Tape / Session Read
Apple announced that Apple Intelligence will launch in China using Alibaba’s Qwen foundation model, providing the platform with substantial distribution reach. Concurrently, capital rotated out of U.S. AI hardware and into discounted Chinese internet equities like Alibaba and Tencent amid broader monetary liquidity shifts in Beijing.
### Why This Lane Matters
Cross-border technology partnerships reshape capital flows between U.S. markets and offshore platforms. The collaboration allows Apple to support its holiday quarter trajectory in Greater China—where September quarter sales reached $17.54 billion—while testing Alibaba's operational scalability ahead of the November 19 earnings release.
### Technical Analysis & Key Risk Watch
Ahead of its November 19 reporting date, Alibaba trades near its five-year forward P/E average of 13x, having previously hovered around 12x. Key watchpoints include whether the upcoming earnings print demonstrates narrowing losses within the AI Labs and Applications division, which posted a RMB 13.9 billion adjusted EBITA loss in the June quarter alongside negative free cash flow.
