SEC filings
5
Stake 13.8M reported shares ≈ 0.6% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 12/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Net buyer — 350,000 shares bought on the open market in the last year, no sales 15/15
Discipline No late Form 4s in 5 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

Earnings calls

  1. June quarter 2026 (fiscal Q1 2027) Aug 20, 2026 Wu argued that Alibaba's AI spending has stopped being a bet and started being a business: cloud external revenue grew 45%, a 22-quarter high, AI product revenue reached an annualised US$7.3 billion and, on his own forecast, will approach US$10 billion next quarter. His frame for the industry was that the super app everyone went looking for is compute itself, that inference demand has turned compute from a cost centre into the asset that generates the revenue, and that selling model access by the API call is a transitional business rather than the endgame. He put numbers on the parts Alibaba rarely quantifies — over 500,000 last-generation T-Head chips manufactured and shipped, model-serving ARR past RMB16 billion in August against a RMB30 billion year-end target — and restated the destination: US$100 billion of external cloud revenue by 2030 at a 20% gross margin. E-commerce got four minutes and a narrowing loss. Read the call · 10 quotes →
