Alibaba 2QFY26: Cloud Explodes, but QC Burns the Profits — Turning Point or Trap?
$阿里巴巴(BABA)$ $阿里巴巴-W(09988)$ Alibaba just posted one of its most contradictory quarters in years. ☁ Cloud revenue jumped 34.5% YoY — the strongest growth since the restructuring. 🔥 But adj. EBITA collapsed 78%, dragged down by heavy investment in quick commerce (QC). Here’s the twist: Management says cloud demand is so strong that supply can’t keep up, and QC losses have been cut by 50% per order since August. And Keeta Hong Kong? ➡ Turned profitable in just 29 months, beating its own 36-month target. So the big question: Is Alibaba entering a new “cloud + quick commerce” synergy cycle? Or will QC continue burning profits?
