The report also anticipated that the commercialization of KUAISHOU-W (01024.HK)’s “KLING AI” will accelerate further this year.

For Alibaba, Daiwa highlighted a reacceleration in customer management revenue (CMR) growth and the deconsolidation of SUNART RETAIL (06808.HK), which could drive FY2026 profits beyond expectations.

The broker expressed optimism about potential earnings surprises from Alibaba and Trip.com for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
