"In total, net income dropped from 46.4 billion Chinese yuan ($6.8 billion) to 15.6 billion Chinese yuan ($2.27 billion). The downturn is one of multiple disappointments in the Chinese technology giant's latest financial results, announced Thursday, March 19. Alibaba also reported a 71% decrease in diluted earnings per share YOY."
"Even Alibaba's revenue, which rose 2% YOY, failed to meet expectations. The company reached 284.8 billion Chinese yuan ($41.4 billion) in revenue for quarter four, falling short of Wall Street's predicted 290.7 billion Chinese yuan ($42.3 billion), according to consensus estimates cited by CNBC."
"The small revenue increase was led by the company's Cloud Intelligence Group, which rose 36% YOY. As of publication, U.S.-listed shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) were down more than 4% in premarket trading on Thursday."
Alibaba reported significant financial disappointment in Q4 2025, with net income plummeting 66% year-over-year from 46.4 billion to 15.6 billion Chinese yuan.
