Among the major Hang Seng Index constituents related to AI businesses, recent stock price performances have been inconsistent. Tencent (00700) demonstrates a relatively clear path to monetization through its Hunyuan large model, WeChat AI applications, and enterprise service ecosystem, resulting in relatively stable share price performance. Alibaba (09988) benefits from its "Tongyi Qianwen + Alibaba Cloud" strategy, with cloud-based AI-related revenue continuing to grow. However, substantial capital expenditures and ongoing funding investments have placed pressure on short-term profitability, leading to greater share price volatility. Xiaomi (01810), leveraging AI smartphones, smart home devices, and smart vehicles, has become a favored AI endpoint concept stock among investors, delivering a more outstanding share price performance. As for Baidu (09888), despite continuous expansion in its AI cloud and large model businesses, sluggish growth in traditional advertising revenue has limited its overall valuation recovery potential. Finally, SMIC (00981), as a key player in the AI chip supply chain, benefits from growing domestic computing demand, but its valuation has already reflected high market expectations, resulting in greater share price volatility.
