Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) also received a rating update from Aletheia Capital on February 5, with the firm reaffirming a Buy rating on the stock. In a separate development, Reuters stated on February 2 that Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) announced plans to spend 3 billion yuan during the Lunar New Year holiday as a means to attract users to its Qwen AI app.

Reuters reported that the announcement fuels the race between the largest tech firms in China, as Alibaba Group Holding Limited’s (NYSE:BABA) plans triple the spending goals announced by rivals Tencent and Baidu earlier. The pledge is set to start on February 6, and includes incentives for drinks, dining, leisure, and entertainment, with “large red envelopes distributed continuously,” according to the company.

For additional perspective, Tencent and Baidu announced plans to spend 1 billion yuan and 500 million yuan on similar promotions for their AI chatbots, respectively.
