Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group (BABA Quick QuoteBABA - Free Report) reported third-quarter fiscal 2019 results before the opening bell on Jan 30, wherein it beat earnings expectations but lagged on revenues.

Earnings of $1.77 per ADS came in at 14 cents ahead the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Revenues climbed 41% year over year to $17.06 billion but fell short of the estimate of $17.26 billion.

Additionally, it bucked the strong trend of the December quarter.

Core e-commerce revenues grew 40% year over year, cloud computing revenues soared 84%, and digital media and entertainment revenues increased 20%.

Annual active consumers increased 33 million from the last quarter to reach 699 million in December. Mobile monthly active users in its China retail marketplaces increased 35 million quarter over quarter to 636 million (see: all the Technology ETFs here).

Market Impact

Following the earnings beat, BABA shares climbed 6.3% on the day. Alibaba currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and a VGM Score of D. It belongs to the top-ranked Zacks industry (top 43%).
