Segments: Taobao and Tmall Group revenue grew by 1% year over year to $14.11 billion. Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group revenue increased by 29% year over year to $4.51 billion, driven by the growth of cross-border businesses, in particular AliExpress's&nbsp;Choice&nbsp;business.
Local Services Group revenue grew by 14% year over year to $2.53 billion, driven by the order growth of both Amap and Ele.me and revenue growth from marketing services.&nbsp;
Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited's revenue increased 8% year over year to $3.51 billion, driven by an increase in revenue from cross-border fulfillment solutions.&nbsp;
Cloud Intelligence Group revenue grew by 7% Y/Y to $4.22 billion. Digital Media and Entertainment Group fell by 1% Y/Y to $811 million. All other revenue grew by 9% Y/Y at $7.44 billion.
In the Taobao and Tmall Group, customer management revenue grew 2% year over year due to the growth in online GMV.
Revenue from China's commerce retail business remained firm year over year at $13.25 billion, while direct sales and other revenue declined by 5% year over year to $3.23 billion, primarily due to the decrease in appliance sales.
Revenue from China's commerce wholesale business grew by 18% year over year to $853 million due to the increase in revenue from value-added services provided to paying members.
Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group:&nbsp;International commerce retail business revenue grew by 35% Y/Y to $3.65 billion, primarily driven by the increase in revenue contributed by AliExpress'&nbsp;Choice&nbsp;and Trendyol.&nbsp;
International commerce wholesale business revenue grew by 9% Y/Y to $863 million.
Cloud Intelligence Group:&nbsp;Overall revenue, excluding Alibaba-consolidated subsidiaries, increased by 7% Y/Y, which was mainly driven by the double-digit revenue growth of public cloud products, including AI-related products.
As of September 30, 2024, Alibaba held $79 billion in cash and equivalents. It generated an operating cash flow of $4.48 billion, down 38% year over year.
During the quarter, it generated a free cash flow of $1.96 billion, down 70% year over year due to investments in Alibaba Cloud infrastructure, refunds to Tmall merchants and other working capital changes related to factors including the scale-down of certain direct sales businesses.
Alibaba Group CEO Eddie Wu noted strong performance in the Cloud segment, with public cloud product revenue seeing double-digit growth and AI-related offerings delivering triple-digit gains. He expressed increased confidence in Alibaba's core businesses and plans to continue investing for sustained long-term growth.
Wu also pointed out improved operating efficiency across other segments, with many achieving higher profitability or narrowing losses.
Alibaba CFO Toby Xu attributed the quarter's revenue growth to better monetization of the Taobao and Tmall platforms, including increased adoption of GMV-based service fees and the marketing tool Quanzhantui.
Xu stated that Alibaba repurchased $4.1 billion worth of shares during the quarter, reducing the total shares outstanding by 2.1% since the end of June, which contributed to increased earnings per share for shareholders.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA shares traded higher by 3.80% at $94.02 premarket at&nbsp;the last check on Friday.

Alibaba Q2 Earnings: Revenue Beats Forecast, Cloud and International Sales Shine, Free Cash Flow Falls Amid Strategic Investments

General

Alibaba Group Holding shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 sales results.

U.S. stocks could open on a negative note on Friday after the Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/11/41991849/powell-with-strong-us-economy-fed-has-no-need-to-be-in-a-hurry-to-lower-rates">comments on Thursday</a> that the economy is showing enough strength that there is no need to be "in a hurry" on further rate cuts just yet.
Futures of all three major indices were down as investors processed crucial inflation and economic data released over the week.
"The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates. The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully," Powell said, maintaining a wait-and-watch approach for the time being.
For now, the post-election rally in the equity markets seems to be slowing down as investors hedge their bets while booking some profits at the same time.

In premarket trading on Friday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) edged lower by 0.53% to $590.22 and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) declined 0.80% to $504.63, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks ended Thursday in the red, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq falling the most.
Crude oil prices remained under the $70 mark, easing further on Friday due to fears of a slowdown in China resulting in lower demand.
Treasury yields edged up again as investors digested Powell's comments on the economy as well as rate cuts in the near future.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims declined by 4,000 from the previous week to 217,000 in the week ending Nov. 9, compared to market estimates of 223,000.
The U.S. producer prices rose 0.2% month-over-month in October compared to a revised 0.1% gain in September, which is in line with market expectations.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with consumer discretionary, industrials, and healthcare stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday.
However, information technology and energy stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.

Insights From Analysts:
Powell's relatively hawkish tone has investors cautious in the markets, noted ING analyst Francesco Pesole.
This could result in a correction for the dollar, which is "testing the limit" of its longs, Pesole noted, adding that traders should exercise caution for the time being.
"Powell seemed to put greater emphasis on the strength of the economy&nbsp;and how that allows the central bank to approach the upcoming policy decisions ‘carefully'."
CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> the fall in sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability declining to 62.1% from 72.2%.
Investors will also keep an eye on the retail sales data that is set to be released later today.
However, Sonu Varghese, global macro strategist at Carson Group, downplayed fears of a rebound in inflation, stating that there are "disinflationary trends" that will "likely keep a lid" on a rise in prices.
On the equity front, Varghese maintained his bullish outlook.
"Overall, economic strengths clearly outweigh areas of weakness, and the opportunities likely have a higher probability of coming to fruition than the threats. The balance favors continued strength for equities, which is why we're maintaining our overweight to stocks, especially US stocks."

Bloomberg Reported Earlier, Alibaba Is Said To Consider Offering $5B Of Bonds

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager renowned for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has significantly increased his exposure to Chinese technology companies while simultaneously implementing protective measures against potential downside risks, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">according to regulatory filings</a>.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management made several notable adjustments to its portfolio during the third quarter, with Chinese companies now representing its largest positions. The firm increased its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 29%, making it the fund&#8217;s largest holding valued at over $21 million as of September&#8217;s end.
In a similar move, Scion doubled its position in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), elevating it to the fund&#8217;s second-largest holding at approximately $20 million. The firm also expanded its stake in Chinese search giant Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) by 67%, bringing the position to $13.2 million.
However, in what appears to be a cautionary strategy, Burry has simultaneously established put options against these same holdings. Put options typically increase in value when the underlying securities decline, suggesting a hedging strategy designed to protect against potential market volatility.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41999238/ross-gerber-blasts-teslas-support-for-ending-ev-tax-credit-as-insanity-amid-reported-policy-shift-under-trump-administration">Long-Time Tesla Bull Rages As Elon Musk Reportedly Backs Trump&#8217;s Plan To Ax $7.5K EV Credit: &#8216;Insanity&#8217;</a>
The timing of these moves coincides with Beijing&#8217;s recent economic stimulus announcements aimed at reinvigorating growth in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. While Chinese equities initially rallied in September following these signals, gains have moderated as investors await more concrete fiscal measures.
Beyond his Chinese technology focus, Burry has also increased positions in several U.S. companies, including Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOUR#NYSE">FOUR</a>), American Coastal Insurance Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACIC#NASDAQ">ACIC</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Why It Matters: Burry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">top three Chinese holdings</a> have posted average gains of nearly 60% over a two-month period, according to market data.
Burry&#8217;s moves are being closely watched by market participants, particularly given his track record. He gained widespread recognition for his prescient bet against mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 global financial crisis, a story later chronicled in Michael Lewis&#8216;s bestseller &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and its subsequent Oscar-winning film adaptation.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these positions reflect holdings as of Sep. 30, as required by SEC regulations for funds managing over $100 million in assets. Given the 45-day reporting delay and Burry&#8217;s active trading style, current positions may have already changed.
The development comes as other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">prominent investors adjust their Chinese holdings</a>. Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8217;s Appaloosa Management recently reduced its Alibaba stake by 5%, though the position remains the fund&#8217;s largest holding at 15.75% of its $6.7 billion portfolio.

'Big Short' Investor Michael Burry Doubles Down On Chinese Tech Stocks While Adding Protective Hedges

Chinese retail sales grew by 4.8% year-on-year in October picking up from September&#8217;s 3.2% growth, as per the National Bureau of Statistics on Friday. That annual retail sales forecast exceeded the 3.8% growth precited by a Reuters poll.
What Happened: The robust growth in Chinese retail sales in October was fueled by the monetary stimulus measures that the People's Bank of China unveiled in the latter half of September as a last-ditch effort to revive the country's struggling economy.
The share price of the top three Chinese e-commerce players, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and JD.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) were in red in Hong Kong on Friday.
Meanwhile, Alibaba Group Holding&#8216;s American Depository Receipts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) have plunged by 11.90% over the last month, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Earnings Scheduled For November 15, 2024

Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8216;s Appaloosa Management reduced its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 5% in the third quarter, despite his recent public enthusiasm for Chinese investments, according to regulatory filings released Thursday.
What Happened: The reduction comes just months after Tepper declared that he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/09/41050711/stocks-rise-as-china-signals-more-stimulus-billionaire-david-tepper-bets-big-on-everythi">would buy &#8220;everything&#8221; China-related</a> amid Beijing&#8217;s stimulus efforts. Despite the trim, Alibaba remains Appaloosa&#8217;s largest holding, representing 15.75% of its $6.7 billion equity portfolio.
The hedge fund&#8217;s third-quarter moves reveal a complex strategy toward Chinese investments. While reducing positions in the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>), KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>), and Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), Tepper more than doubled his stake in PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and increased positions in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and KE Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEKE#NYSE">BEKE</a>).
The filing also revealed significant reductions in major U.S. technology holdings. Appaloosa sold 275,000 shares of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), representing an 8.59% reduction while cutting its Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) position by 211,356 shares, or 21.89%. The fund also reduced its stake in Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) by 310,000 shares, a 49.6% decrease, and trimmed its position in Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).

Why It Matters: Overall, Tepper&#8217;s exposure to Chinese stocks and ETFs increased to 38% of his equity portfolio in the third quarter, up from 26% in the previous quarter. This positions him, alongside Scion Asset Management&#8216;s Michael Burry, as one of the few prominent hedge fund managers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">maintaining significant Chinese market exposure</a>. 
These portfolio adjustments come as Chinese stocks face headwinds from disappointing fiscal policies and persistent economic challenges, including weak consumer spending and an unstable property market. Market observers note that geopolitical tensions and potential tariff increases add further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low">uncertainty to the investment landscape</a>.
The details of these transactions were disclosed in a Form 13F filing, a quarterly report required by the Securities and Exchange Commission for institutional investment managers overseeing more than $100 million in qualifying securities.

Palantir, Moderna, Pfizer, Alibaba, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABAF#NYSE">BABAF</a>) will be unveiling its second-quarter earnings on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/earnings">before market hours</a>. Wall Street is expecting $2.10 in EPS and $33.95 billion in revenue, per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
This comes as the Chinese e-commerce giant faces mounting competition from rivals like JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Pinduoduo Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), as well as a challenging macroeconomic environment that has tempered consumer spending in China.
Still, some analysts are optimistic that Alibaba&#8217;s growing international digital commerce and cloud segments could drive meaningful results, particularly as the company looks to diversify its revenue sources beyond the domestic market.
With Alibaba's core and cloud divisions in focus, investors hope for upbeat numbers amid a challenging economic climate in China.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alibaba Chart Signals Hints At A Challenging Road Ahead</h2>
From a technical analysis perspective, Alibaba's stock currently reflects a bearish sentiment. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111424&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-648695" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14125936/Screenshot-2024-11-14-at-11.14.05-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Trading at $90.32, BABA stock sits below several key moving averages, including its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages, suggesting a continuation of selling pressure in the near term. BABA stock trades below its eight-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $94.97 and its 20-day SMA of $97.39, reinforcing these bearish signals. 
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) reading of a negative 2.01 supports a downward trend, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 36.61 hints that Alibaba stock could be in the oversold territory soon. 
This could offer a short-term relief rally, but the technical signals broadly imply caution leading into the earnings report.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Ratings, Price Targets Signal Optimism Despite Challenges</h2>
Despite the near-term technical indicators, analysts hold an overall positive outlook on Alibaba, with a consensus Buy rating. The average analyst price target of $120 suggests a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings">potential upside of 32.86%</a> from current levels. 
The anticipated growth in Alibaba's cloud and international commerce could be the drivers that could help Alibaba navigate the current economic uncertainties.
In the broader context, Alibaba has shown resilience with a 20.83% gain year-to-date, although it has seen a 16.21% decline over the past month, reflecting investor caution ahead of the earnings. 
With the Chinese economy in flux and competitive pressures high, all eyes will be on Alibaba's guidance for the upcoming quarters. If Alibaba can deliver strong growth in its cloud and international businesses, it could signal a turnaround, potentially setting the stage for a stock price rebound. 
As Alibaba navigates these dynamics, Friday's earnings report will be pivotal in determining if this bullish narrative holds.
