In response to the results, a number of analysts have reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with Benchmark’s Fawne Jiang seeing a positive catalyst for the company in the form of Alibaba Capital Management plan.
In what are multiple major moves, Alibaba is spinning off its cloud computing unit, and mulling taking its logistics and grocery businesses public. J.P. Morgan noted that Alibaba seems intent on unlocking value for investors as it splits into six different units.
