MINIMAX-WP's stock price surged 7.21% during intraday trading on Thursday, marking a significant rebound for the company's shares.
The sharp rise follows the announcement that Alibaba Cloud has fully opened its Bailian platform, onboarding MiniMax's M2.7 model among other top-tier AI models. This strategic partnership provides unified SDK access and flexible billing options, significantly lowering the barrier for enterprises and developers to adopt MiniMax's advanced AI capabilities.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Morgan Stanley recently raised its target price for MiniMax to HK$1,100, projecting that the company's annual recurring revenue will exceed US$1 billion by year-end. The company has demonstrated strong growth momentum, with ARR jumping 50% from US$100 million to US$150 million in just two months following the launch of its M2.5 model. Analysts have highlighted MiniMax's superior unit economics, with text API gross margins at 40% and multimodal API margins reaching 60%-70%, providing a competitive advantage in the current market environment.
