Pre-Market China Stocks Update: Alibaba Wins US Injunction and Key Corporate Earnings Released
Newsquawk ·
Alibaba Group (9988 HK) has successfully obtained a preliminary injunction from a United States federal judge, halting the government from barring Pentagon contracts to entities simply because they or their affiliates engage with lobbying firms representing Alibaba. In corporate earnings news, ASMPT (522 HK) reported a third-quarter net income of HKD 689.7 million, beating expectations of HKD 564.8 million and rebounding from a HKD 270 million loss year-over-year. Revenue reached HKD 5.25 billion with an adjusted gross margin of 42.9%. However, ASMPT noted that larger high-bandwidth memory capability investments are being postponed as clients re-evaluate costs, even as TCB bookings hit record highs on robust AI data center demand. Meanwhile, Asia Cement China Holdings (743 HK) posted a nine-month net loss of CNY 301 million, and Baoshan Iron & Steel (600019 CH) announced a 30.0% year-over-year drop in third-quarter net income to CNY 2.17 billion on revenue of CNY 84.9 billion.

Alibaba secured a preliminary injunction from a U.S. district court against its exclusion from Pentagon contracts, easing risks involving the U.S. government. ASMPT posted Q3 net profit of 689.7 million HKD, beating market expectations, though HBM-related investments are being delayed due to customer cost re-evaluations. Chinese steel and cement companies showed mixed performance with sluggish earnings amid the real estate slump.
상승 영향
- Big Tech — Alibaba secured a preliminary injunction against the U.S. government's Pentagon contract exclusion, easing regulatory risks.
- AI — ASMPT's TCB orders reached record levels, driven by strong demand from AI data centers.
하락 영향
- Semiconductors — ASMPT stated that investments related to large-scale HBM capabilities are being delayed due to customer cost re-evaluations and technical factors.
- Steel/Materials — Industry sluggishness persists as Baoshan Iron & Steel's Q3 net profit fell 30.0% year-on-year and Asia Cement recorded a 9M net loss.
DYAX 전담 분석
Alibaba's easing legal risks regarding the U.S. Department of Defense serve as a factor lowering uncertainties for Chinese tech stocks entering the U.S. market. On the other hand, despite strong TCB orders driven by AI data center demand, ASMPT's outlook for delayed HBM investments has created caution across the semiconductor equipment sector.
Going forward, key indicators determining Alibaba's stock direction will be additional litigation results and shifts in U.S.-China relations. For ASMPT, monitoring whether customers resume HBM investments and if Q4 guidance is achieved is necessary.
