Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs has significantly raised Alibaba's capital expenditure forecast to 460 billion yuan over the next three years, marking one of the most aggressive predictions on Wall Street. Analysts believe that the transformation of AI capital expenditure is reshaping Alibaba's growth expectations, with breakthroughs in AI cloud computing capabilities and international expansion potential providing new upward momentum for the stock price. It is expected that by the fiscal year 2028, international business will contribute one-quarter of Alibaba Cloud's external revenue [1][3]. Capital Expenditure and Revenue Transformation - Goldman Sachs has introduced an analysis framework for the conversion of AI capital expenditure to revenue, suggesting that Alibaba's development trajectory lags behind U.S. cloud service giants by about two years. This time lag aligns with the technological breakthroughs of ChatGPT (end of 2022) and DeepSeek (January 2025) [6]. - Alibaba's current data center capacity is estimated at 3-4 GW, with plans to expand to 20 GW by 2032, requiring an annual addition of approximately 2 GW capacity. This expansion plan will support significant capital investment over the next three years [6]. - Three scenarios for capital expenditure have been set: a baseline of 460 billion yuan, an optimistic scenario of 550 billion yuan, and a pessimistic scenario of 380 billion yuan, with conversion ratios varying accordingly [7]. International Expansion and Valuation - Alibaba Cloud's international expansion is a key factor in Goldman Sachs' valuation increase. The cloud has established 91 availability zones across 29 regions, with overseas nodes reaching 900. International business revenue is expected to grow from single digits to about 25% by the fiscal year 2028, with a high double-digit compound annual growth rate [8]. - Alibaba Cloud enjoys premium pricing in overseas markets, with its Qwen model priced significantly higher than domestic levels. The cloud is accelerating the construction of data centers in Brazil, France, and the Netherlands, while upgrading existing facilities in Mexico and Japan [8]. Short-term Challenges and Market Competition - Despite the target price increase, Alibaba faces short-term challenges, particularly from its instant e-commerce business, which is expected to see a significant decline in EBITA for the September quarter. The competition with Meituan in the instant e-commerce sector is a critical variable [9]. - Alibaba's management is confident in the growth of commercial monetization rates (CMR) driven by advertising technology advancements and the instant e-commerce business. The penetration rate of merchants using site-wide advertising products has exceeded 30% [9]. - Goldman Sachs' revised bullish and bearish scenarios indicate a target price of up to 280 USD in an optimistic case, representing a 76% upside potential, while a pessimistic case suggests a target of 141 USD, indicating only an 11% downside risk [9].

然而，这种由单一主题驱动的繁荣也带来了巨大的不确定性。 Sorkin概括了投资者面临的核心困境：当前由AI引发的乐观情绪，究竟是源于一项能带来 长期生产力跃升和持续回报的技术革命（淘金热），还是仅仅是短暂、不可持续的投机狂热（糖兴奋）。他坦言，这个问题的答案可能需要数年时间才 能揭晓，而在此之前，市场始终暴露在风险之下。 知名财经记者Sorkin警告，当前由AI驱动的市场与1929大崩盘相似，可能是"非凡繁荣"或"一切高估"的泡沫，最终必然崩盘。AI热潮是"淘金热还是糖 兴奋"仍不确定，而监管放松、债务增加加剧了市场脆弱性。 知名财经记者和作家Andrew Ross Sorkin对当前由人工智能驱动的市场发出了严厉警告，称其与历史上的泡沫有相似之处，一场市场崩盘终将发生，尽 管具体时点和深度无法预测。 Sorkin在周日的播客访谈中表示， 他担心当前市场价格"可能无法持续"。 在他看来，市场正处于两种可能性之间： 要么是由AI股票推动的"非凡繁 荣"，要么是"一切都被高估了"。 这一表态源于他为新书《1929》所做的研究，该书探讨了近一个世纪前的大崩盘。 他认为，AI热潮正在"几乎是人为地"支撑着经济，并提出 ...

面对售价3500美元的Vision Pro市场表现未达预期，苹果或将对其穿戴设备战略进行重大调整。公司被曝搁置更平价的头显项 目——"Vision Air"，转而将资源集中于开发更具大众市场潜力的智能眼镜，这可能使其与Meta在该领域展开直接竞争。 10月12日，著名科技记者Mark Gurman在彭博专栏发文称，面对售价3500美元的Vision Pro市场表现平平，苹果可能会搁置更 平价的头显项目，转而将资源集中于研发一副更轻便、更主流的智能眼镜。 这一低成本的Vision Pro头显被外界猜测为是"Vision Air"，该头显将更轻、更便宜。但苹果公司已将部分从事该项目的工程师重 新分配至一个专注于研发智能眼镜的团队。 而这一转变不仅暴露了售价3500美元的Vision Pro在通往大众市场的道路上步履维艰，也预示着苹果将与Meta等竞争对手在更 具潜力的智能眼镜领域展开正面交锋。 战略转向：从"小众"到"大众" Gurman分析认为，苹果的DNA决定了它并非一家追逐小众市场的公司。其巨大的成功建立在iPhone、iPad和Apple Watch等销 量达数千万乃至上亿台的主流产品之上。 竞争格局：与 ...
