What's Happening
Alibaba releases fiscal Q3 FY2026 earnings missing estimates
Alibaba posted fiscal Q3 FY2026 (October-December 2025) earnings on March 19, 2026, reporting revenue of CNY 280.87 billion, missing consensus estimates of CNY 296.51 billion, and EPS of $6.96, below $11.88 expected. This miss highlights persistent pressures in core e-commerce amid weak consumer spending, but the company emphasized growth in cloud and international segments as bright spots most investors overlook. Jefferies' Thomas Chong maintained a Buy rating post-earnings with a $225 target.

This shift directly benefits BABA's cloud unit, where revenue grew 10% in fiscal Q3 FY2026 despite overall misses. Consensus estimates from Wall Street project cloud acceleration to 20% growth in FY2027 per JP Morgan's Alex Yao.
