Core Facts on Alibaba and CoreWeave Stocks

As of 2025, CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) has significantly outperformed Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: BABA) since its IPO in March, with CoreWeave’s second-quarter revenue reaching $1.2 billion—an increase of over 400% year-over-year. Alibaba dominates China’s e-commerce market through platforms like Taobao and Tmall, holding over a one-third share in China’s cloud services.

CoreWeave has secured contracts worth up to $22.4 billion with OpenAI and partnerships with major tech companies like Cloudflare and Nvidia, positioning it well in the generative AI sector. Conversely, Alibaba’s forward price-to-earnings ratio is around 24, suggesting it is undervalued compared to U.S. AI leaders.

Investment experts currently recommend CoreWeave as the more promising stock in the context of rapid growth driven by AI demand, despite concerns over its high price-to-sales ratio of approximately 18.5.
