Michael Burry exits Alibaba stake as BABA slides 8.5% after $10.2 billion share placement

AI Market Summary
Alibaba shares sold off after a HK$80B (US$10.2B) discounted share placement raised dilution risk, amplifying concerns that heavy AI and cloud capex will keep pressuring margins and free cash flow. Michael Burry's exit adds a high-profile negative signal on valuation and capital intensity. While forward multiples look lower, near-term sentiment is dominated by financing overhang and uncertainty around returns on AI investment.
