Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares rose nearly 2% in premarket trading after the Chinese technology giant unveiled a new generation of Qwen AI smart glasses, as it seeks to make wearable devices a gateway to its artificial intelligence services.
The company detailed its Qwen Glasses N1 series at an event in Hangzhou on Tuesday, with prices starting at 2,999 yuan, or around $450, before discounts. The starting price is no lower than that of smart glasses from Meta Platforms, suggesting Alibaba is seeking to compete on features and quality rather than price as it expands its AI ecosystem.

The settlement ensures the product can remain on the market without disruption, easing concerns that a legal dispute could force the withdrawal of the company's flagship commercial product.

The acquisition would give Televisa a larger mobile subscriber base and allow it to combine wireless services with its existing fixed-line broadband, pay-TV and landline offerings.
AT&T Mexico serves approximately 24.7 million mobile subscribers, while Televisa's fixed infrastructure currently passes 12 million homes, with a target of reaching 20 million by mid-2027. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals in Mexico.
