Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding's cloud computing arm, Alibaba Cloud, apologized for a service outage that disrupted its Taobao platform and other applications on Sunday. This is the second major system failure in less than a year. Despite the outage, Alibaba aims to go public by May 2024 and reported a 4% revenue growth in the June quarter. The outage affected popular apps like DingTalk, Xianyu, and Taobao, but services were restored by 9.11 pm. Alibaba Cloud is crucial for China's tech industry, supporting 80% of tech companies and half of the large AI model firms. Alibaba's stock (BABA) was up 0.89% at $83 on Tuesday.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Alibaba Cloud's service outage impacted major applications including Taobao, but the company restored services the same evening. Alibaba reported a 4% revenue growth and plans to go public by 2024. BABA shares were up 0.89% following the news.
The service outage is a negative event, but the quick restoration and the positive revenue growth report, along with the IPO plans, suggest a neutral to slightly positive short-term impact on BABA's stock price. The stock's positive movement on Tuesday supports this assessment.
