Key Takeaways

  • Alibaba Group Holding's ADRs sank Tuesday after the Chinese tech giant posted an 86% plunge in fiscal fourth-quarter net income on the back of investment losses.
  • Both quarterly net income and earnings per share were below forecasts.
  • Revenue beat estimates as its core Taobao and Tmall online shopping businesses posted a 4% sales gain.

American depositary receipts (ADRs) of Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) sank as the Chinese e-commerce giant's profit plunged on investment losses.

Alibaba said its fiscal fourth-quarter net income fell 86% over the year to 3.27 billion Chinese yuan ($453 million). Adjusted earnings for the quarter ended March were CNY10.14 ($1.40) per ADS. Both were below forecasts. A 7% increase in revenue at CNY221.9 billion ($30.73 billion)♎ beat estimates.

The company blamed the profit decline primarily on “a net loss from our investments in publicly-traded companies during the quarter, compared to a net gain in the same quarter last year, due to the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:mark-to-market changes.”
