      <title>Alibaba beats revenue estimates on demand for niche China shopping services</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30287272/alibaba-beats-revenue-estimates-on-demand-for-niche-china-shopping-services</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Alibaba Group Holding Ltd on Thursday beat expectations for fourth-quarter revenue, as growing demand for some of its niche online shopping services in China offset weakness at its main marketplaces caused by the country’s COVID-19 lockdowns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S.-listed Alibaba shares, which have lost roughly a third of their value so far this year, were up about 5% in premarket trading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Revenue in Alibaba’s cloud computing division rose 12% to 18.97 billion yuan in the reported quarter. At the core commerce unit, its largest, revenue rose 8% to 140.33 billion yuan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company, however, said it would not issue a forecast for the new fiscal year, citing pandemic-related risks and uncertainties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rival JD.com Inc beat estimates for quarterly revenue last week as more people shopped for groceries and other essentials online, although it warned of a hit from supply-chain disruptions and sluggish consumption in the coming quarters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, Alibaba’s revenue rose 9% to 204.05 billion yuan ($30.35 billion) in the quarter. Analysts on average had expected revenue of 199.25 billion yuan, according to Refinitiv data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Annual active consumers on its platforms reached about 1.31 billion for the fiscal year, including over 1 billion consumers in China for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Net income attributable to shareholders fell 59% to 61.96 billion yuan in the fourth quarter ended March 31, primarily due to losses associated with its equity investments in publicly traded companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ant Group, Alibaba’s fintech affiliate, reported a profit of about 22 billion yuan for the quarter ended December, according to Alibaba’s filings on Thursday, compared with 21.76 billion yuan a year ago.&lt;/p&gt;
