Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group revenue jumped 26% year-on-year to 33.40 billion yuan in Q2, far above the expected 18.4% rise, reflecting rapid adoption of its AI cloud products. (Reuters)
Jiang Fan, head of Alibaba’s e-commerce business group, said the company's quick commerce unit could add 1 trillion yuan to annualized gross merchandise volume within three years, pointing to significant growth potential beyond traditional retail. (Reuters)
Alibaba's core e-commerce business grew just 10% in Q2, missing analyst projections and causing a 2% revenue shortfall, as tougher competition and weaker consumer demand hurt sales. (Reuters)
China’s new draft rules on platform pricing, which emphasize transparency, follow Alibaba's record $2.75 billion antitrust fine in 2021 and signal continued regulatory scrutiny that may limit its business activities. (Reuters)
Competition is heating up in 'instant retail' from companies like Meituan and JD.com, with rivals using aggressive subsidies and deflationary pricing, squeezing Alibaba's margins and weakening its pricing power in this critical growth area. (Reuters)
