Stock Upside Potential: 45.56%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 115

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is one of the best metaverse stocks to buy according to analysts. On March 12, Morgan Stanley said companies that control the full AI stack — chips, cloud systems, models, and applications, will be the strongest in the long run. The analysts highlighted Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) as their top choice among China’s internet firms, upgrading it ahead of Tencent. They believe Alibaba is well‑positioned thanks to its in‑house chip unit T‑Head, its large AliCloud platform, and its growing family of AI models and apps.

Morgan Stanley explained that Alibaba’s ability to design its own chips helps reduce reliance on outside suppliers, cut costs, and align with China’s push for tech self‑sufficiency. By combining chips, cloud, and AI models like Qwen, Alibaba can manage the entire AI value chain and monetize across infrastructure and applications. The bank also noted China’s AI chip market could reach $67 billion by 2030, with local supply covering most demand, further boosting Alibaba’s long‑term prospects.

On March 5, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) reiterated that it is forming a task force to accelerate the development of its artificial intelligence AI model. The new task force will be coordinated by Alibaba Group CEO Eddie Wu and will be tasked with mobilizing group-wide resources.

The announcement follows the resignation of Lin Junyang, head of the Qwen AI division. He becomes the third senior Qwen executive to depart this year. Yu Bowen, who headed post-training for the AI platform, had also tendered his resignation.

The high-profile exits follow confirmation that Qwen’s mobile app surged to 203 million in February from 31.05 million in January. It is now the third-most-used app, behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT and ByteDance’s Douyin app.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is a Chinese multinational conglomerate specializing in e-commerce, retail, internet technology, and AI. It is also actively developing metaverse technologies focused on integrating physical and digital experiences, with a strong emphasis on e-commerce, virtual retail, and cloud infrastructure.
