BABA-SW (09988.HK) will announce its 4QFY24 results ending March this year tomorrow (14 May). The market expected the results to be impacted by increased investment in e-commerce experiences, and losses in international e-commerce and Cainiao. Investors will be concerned about the effectiveness of BABA's low-pricing strategy to drive traffic and gross merchandise volume (GMV) growth, changes in the gap between GMV and China's retail customer management revenue (CMR) gap (i.e., realisation rate), how it will increase shareholders' returns in a variety of ways, and the company's guidance on share buybacks and dividend payouts.
