Onlinehandel: Alibaba startet neue KI-Handelsplattform – Aktie legt zu
Mit KI will die chinesische Plattform attraktiver für Händler werden. Die Anleger scheinen überzeugt: Die Aktie legt so stark zu wie seit zwei Wochen nicht mehr.
Alibaba's payment service Alipay unveiled a new "All-in-one" platform for merchants, utilizing AI agents to automate business processes. Ant-Group CEO Cyril Han explained at the launch that Alipay will help build a new generation of AI-driven services and promote growth in agent commerce. Alibaba's stock rose by up to five percent in Hong Kong following the launch, marking the strongest daily gain in two weeks.
The platform targets companies looking to have routine tasks performed increasingly by artificial intelligence. Alibaba introduced the AI agent "Ah Bao" in June, allowing consumers to access everyday services such as bill payments, coffee orders, and finding charging stations. With weak domestic demand in China, the new products aim to strengthen Alibaba's appeal among users and merchants.
Since its low in June, the Alibaba stock has gained over 40 percent. Investors are also betting on strong quarterly results, with analysts expecting an 8.4 percent sales growth for the June quarter ending. Results will be released on Thursday.
