Goldman Sachs published a report covering BABA-W (09988.HK), which delivered soft 3QFY26 results, with total revenue growing by 2% YoY, and group EBITA declining by 57% YoY, yet the key business lines largely in line. E-commerce CMR added 1% YoY, aligning with the broker's expectations; cloud revenue mounted by 36% YoY. The deviation was mostly contributed from higher Qianwen model and Qianwen consumer app investments over the quarter.
