● Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,623 million, an increase of 31% YoY. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measurement of liquidity, was $5,020 million, an increase of 61% compared to Q2 FY22 because the company held back on capital expenditures.

KEY Points:

● For International Commerce, the combined order quantity, including Lazada and AliExpress declined by 3% YoY. During the September quarter, increasing logistics costs and foreign currency volatility created headwinds for cross-border e-commerce demand.
● The Cloud segment revenue grew 4% YoY to $2.91 billion, mainly driven by growth in the public cloud and partly offset by a fall in hybrid cloud revenue.
● The company continued to take a holistic approach to improve operating efficiency and cost optimization. When combined with easing COVID restrictions in China, Alibaba may have tailwinds helping its net income and revenue.
● Alibaba did not disclose sales numbers for its 2022 Singles Day shopping festival, merely stating that results were flat with last year.

Milk The Cow : Net loss for sep-quarter seem not that good...
However $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ launched shares buyback, so... the price will increase for awhile .
(U decided for urself if u wanna stay or not )
The rumours about China opening their economy back up, can be an opportunity speculation... However, I won't put much expectation into it as the risk is still high due to the China-Taiwan tension.
sociable Dingo_8604 : Many investors are negative towards China Tech now, however, it seems $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ has much room to grow given its popularity. Currently it experiencing short term gains, so people will certainly be selling to earn some profits which happens to all stocks anyway. When the price comes down, it is worth to add some into my portfolio imo.
Deep Value : I prefer Tencent
101518828 : This stock is a goner lol
Srikanth Reddy : Let's Add!
romancer : Where's Jack?
小奶狗 : Baba quite beaten down. Quite a lot of fear surrounding the stock. However, the P/S is low (< 2). Usually tech stocks has higher P/S e.g Apple P/S around 6. No doubt the P/E is till high at 90+, But if baba can try to optimise iits margins, might still have chance for upside.
Zurich Axioms : I will sell if I am still holding to baba shares but will consider to buy for trading purpose if it dip below USD60.00
旧人不覆 Deep Value : I prefer Tencent
12moon : I will not hold BABA in my portfolio. Thus stock has disappointed and is losing favours with investors. If you are trader, I wish you good luck. For me, I prefer Tencent as a better choice for investing.
