Pivot in business model. Google started issuing shares. AI buildout is expensive. At least Alibaba has the balance sheet to fund it on their own for now.

If alibaba has 100 years to purchase back stock at very low prices it will be extremely bullish for shareholders.

Fortunately this is looking very likely.
