阿里巴巴计划通过在香港配售新股融资约 102 亿美元,所得净额将投向 AI 全栈能力建设,包括算力基础设施、芯片以及人工智能模型的开发与部署。这笔交易有望成为香港上市公司规模最大的一级后续融资之一。

配股价格折让 3.6%

根据披露,阿里巴巴拟发行 7.1 亿股普通股,发行价为每股 112.70 港元,较前一交易日收盘价折让 3.6%。报道提到,认购需求较强后,公司扩大了发行规模,主权财富基金也在意向投资者之列。

此次配售由摩根士丹利、汇丰、瑞银和中金担任簿记管理人。对阿里巴巴而言,这笔融资将为其继续扩张 AI 与云基础设施提供更多资金空间。

资本开支升至 676.8 亿元

融资背景是公司 AI 相关投入明显提速。阿里巴巴 6 月季度资本开支同比增长约 75%,达到 676.8 亿元人民币,接近 100 亿美元,主要用于扩充数据中心容量,并承担更高的芯片采购成本。

在支出快速上升的同时,公司净利润同比下滑约 75% 至 105 亿元人民币。也就是说,AI 投入正在明显推高资金消耗,并对短期财务表现形成压力。

云与 AI 收入继续增长

不过,阿里巴巴增长最快的技术业务仍保持较强需求。报道显示,AI 云与算力服务收入增长 45%,达到约 71 亿美元;AI 相关产品收入也连续一个季度实现三位数增长。

阿里巴巴此前承诺在 2029 年前向云和 AI 基础设施投入 3800 亿元人民币,目前已投入约一半。随着本轮融资推进,市场接下来更关注的是,云与 AI 收入能否继续加快增长,并支撑不断扩大的资本需求。

全球 AI 基建投入升温

这笔融资也反映出全球科技行业的共同趋势:AI 竞争已不只是模型和软件竞争,还越来越取决于芯片、数据中心、电力和融资能力。

报道提到,美国科技公司同样面临类似压力。市场正在关注 AI 基础设施扩张需要多少持续资金,一些前比特币矿企也在把数据中心能力转向 AI 计算。阿里巴巴此次融资,正是这一轮 AI 基建竞赛中的最新案例。
