The Chinese giant Alibaba is expected to release its earnings before the financial markets open this Thursday. The company's previous yields showed that it has earned a record high and that Wall Street expects it to earn more for the rest of the year.

At present, Alibaba's stock value is at 231.14 USD per share and is currently trading at 216 USD per share. The stocks were also labeled to be prone to big moves after showing strong numbers.

It was, however, warned that the stock could easily gap down if the numbers would disappoint by Thursday. According to Wall Street, it is expected to report earnings amounting to an increase of 2.25 USD per share with a revenue yield of 22.68 billion USD. However, other analysts expect that it could be valued higher at 2.35 USD per share.

In 2019, Alibaba's earnings were only at 1.82 USD per share and only yielded about 17.47 billion USD in revenue. According to Nasdaq, the significant 36 percent rise on its shares in the last six months compared to the merely 15 percent raise for the S&P 500 index could mean that it is an ideal time for investors to buy Alibaba shares.

The report claimed that the company's recent investments in the retail industry could merge elements of online and offline commerce. It was perceived that the move could significantly affect the entity's stock value come Thursday as the company has rolled out various products to meet the needs of its customers.

The said customers were expected to migrate more towards artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things market. The report then claimed that since last Thursday, the company has given investors the perception that its stock has more room to conquer.

Based on last Friday's stock trading session, Alibaba already garnered a four-day winning streak. In comparison, the Dow Jones Industrial Average minimized by 277.26 points or lost about one percent and closed the session at 29,102.51. The biggest losers were Caterpillar (CAT) and Boeing (BBA) who garnered 2.83 and 1.32 percent, respectively. The two stocks were closely tied to the global economy.

Furthermore, the S&P 500 index also fell by 0.54 percent and closed at 3,327.71 while the Nasdaq Composite Index also decreased by 0.54 percent and closed at 9.520.51.

The report claimed that investors' attitude towards stock from last week was risk-off. It was also perceived that although the steaks could be improving, there could still be a possible decline. January's situation explained the perception since during that time, the jobs beat expectations, but the investors still manifested a risk-off mode.
