This means that Ali has gained about 12 times the income on the investment in Aojie Technology.
Recently, Alibaba's good news has been frequent, and its performance in the capital market has also been relatively active, driving the rise of Alibaba's concept sector. From January 13 to February 25, Alibaba's concept sector has risen by 24.48%.

On the evening of the same day, Aojie Technology also released its 2024 performance report, achieving operating income of 3.386 billion yuan in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 30.23%; The net profit attributable to the parent company was a loss of 687 million yuan, an increase of 181 million yuan over the same period of last year, and the non-net profit attributable to the parent company was a loss of 692 million yuan, an increase of 34 million yuan over the same period of last year.
In the financial report, Aojie Technology said that in 2024, the company's chip products will continue to iterate, the product series will become richer, and at the same time, it will continue to increase market development efforts, especially in some segments of the cellular Internet of Things, and the chip sales will rise sharply, driving the company's overall operating income to achieve a substantial increase compared with the same period last year.
However, due to the significant year-on-year increase in share-based payment expenses due to equity incentives, coupled with the decrease in non-recurring income, the increase in various impairment provisions, the loss amount expanded compared with the same period last year.
First Shanghai Securities pointed out in the research report that the prosperity of AI applications has greatly increased the demand for customized chips, and the chip business of Aojie Technology is expected to fully benefit from this wave of AI application explosion. In the context of a new round of application innovation driven by AI, applications represented by smart cars, smart homes, and wearable devices will usher in a new round of prosperity, and Arcjet products may be expected to penetrate into all walks of life with the implementation of AI applications.
