On the surface it looks like a poor result (China retail and wholesale), but Mr. Market seems to have a different opinion - stock price +2.5% as I type.

Some excerpts from the segments results:

Taobao and Tmall Group -1% (sigh)
Cloud Intelligence Group +6% (positive surprise)

.
Consolidated revenue +4%

EBITA
Taobao and Tmall Group -1%
Cloud Intelligence Group +155%
Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group -782%*
Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited -30%
.
Consolidated adjusted EBITA -1%
Less: Non-cash share-based compensation expense, Amortization and impairment of intangible
assets, Impairment of goodwill, Provision for the shareholder class action)
Income from Operations -15%

* "due to the increase in investments in AliExpress and Trendyol’s
cross-border businesses, partly offset by Lazada’s significant reduction in operating loss from
improvements in its monetization and operating efficiency"
