Valued at a market cap of $300 billion, Alibaba (BABA) stock has returned more than 56% in the past 12 months. A key driver of Alibaba stock in 2025 is the company's Qwen AI model, which has outperformed competitors like GPT-4o, establishing the e-commerce giant as a leading artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure provider in China.
Moreover, a transformative partnership with Apple (AAPL), which will use Alibaba's AI models for iPhone services in China, has boosted investor confidence.
