왜 Alibaba Group Holding Ltd Adr (BABA) 주가가 하락하고 있습니까?
Alibaba Group Holding Stock (BABA) dropped by 9.14% from $87.07 to $79.11 in the trading on Thursday November 16, 2023. The reasons why BABA stock down today include:
- In-line earnings results: Alibaba's revenue increased 9% to $30.8 billion in the September quarter, meeting analyst expectations. However, this growth rate represents a slowdown from 14% in the June quarter. Adjusted earnings per American depositary share (ADS) rose 21% to $2.14, beating expectations of $2.11.
- Cancelation plans to spin off cloud unit : It is due to uncertainties related to U.S. chip restrictions. The update on the cloud business is clearly a disappointment. After its core e-commerce business, which includes Taobao and Tmall, the cloud group is its biggest business segment, both by revenue and profits, so it was seen as the most valuable asset in the spinoff plan
BABA shares dropped 4.6% to $87.83 after it announced Eddie Wu will succed Dinel Zhang as its chief executive officer effective Sept. 10. Joe Tsai will take Zhang's place as the group's chairman.

Alibaba Group Holding ADR (BABA) stock tumbled by 6.02% due to the release of its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2024. The disappointment stemmed from the company falling short of analyst projections, particularly in earnings.
- Earnings Miss and Revenue Growth: Despite a revenue increase of 7% to RMB221.87 billion (US$30,729 million), slightly surpassing estimates, Alibaba reported an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of RMB10.14 (US$1.40), falling short of the analyst estimate of RMB10.27. The CEO attributed the quarter's performance to strategic focuses on customer experience and growth in China and international commerce.
- Challenges in Net Income and Cash Flow: Alibaba experienced a significant decrease of 96% in net income year-over-year (YoY), largely due to losses from investments in publicly-traded companies. Additionally, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization (EBITA) saw a 5% decline, influenced by strategic investments and employee retention incentives in its e-commerce segment. Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow both witnessed substantial decreases of 26% and 52% YoY, respectively.
