However, the adjusted net profit plummeted by 67% YoY to RMB16.7 billion, 40% and 44% below the broker's and market's expectations, respectively, and is disappointing.Key revenue segments such as CMR and cloud largely met investor expectations, reflecting that this quarter did not undermine the core narrative of cyclically slowing commerce monetization and solid AI/ cloud demand. However, this was offset by underperformance across a broad range of business segments, reflecting higher-than-expected cost pressures and a weakening short-term profit trajectory.Related News HSBC Research Lowers TP of SENSETIME (00020.HK) to HKD2, Focuses on AI Market Position CompetitionJP Morgan maintained an Overweight rating on BABA-W with a target price of HKD210.
