电商巨头阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group)周二公布的第三财季财务业绩远超过分析师的预期,但由于公司面临持续的监管整顿,创始人马云的行踪也难以确定,因此消息公布之后,其股价却不涨反跌。

阿里巴巴的营收同比大涨37%,达到339亿美元。其在线零售平台在中国较上个季度新增2,200万用户,其快速增长的云计算部门在截至12月31日的季度首次实现盈利。

尽管阿里巴巴的业绩远超预期,但在阿里巴巴周二晚上发布财报次日的上午,其港股股价却下跌了4%。阿里巴巴的股票在两地上市,周二在纽约证券交易所(New York Stock Exchange)收盘下跌了近4%。开元资本(Kaiyuan Capital)首席投资官布罗克斯•西尔弗斯表示:“市场关注的是,潜在的监管风险可能会让阿里巴巴强劲的业绩黯然失色。”中国监管部门从去年年末开始,把矛头指向了阿里巴巴及其金融科技子公司蚂蚁集团(Ant Group)。

阿里巴巴董事局主席兼首席执行官张勇在周二财报电话会议上公布季度业绩之后,也承认了此事。他说:“我想讲一下大家同样关心的另外一件事,那就是中国监管环境的变化可能对互联网平台公司带来的影响。”

阿里巴巴目前的股价比10月的最高点下跌了近17%,只在1月份马云现身一次线上活动时有部分反弹。在那之前,马云从公众视线里消失许久,他的下落引发了人们的猜测,出现了各种谣言。

西尔弗斯表示:“依旧有一些外部因素令投资者感到担忧。”比如蚂蚁集团面临的“监管麻烦”以及马云“依旧很少出现在”公众视野等。

行踪不定的马云

11月3日,中国当局以监管问题为由,叫停了马云参与创建的蚂蚁集团的首次公开募股计划。该金融科技巨头尚未收到新IPO日期,而且中国监管部门发布了一系列新规,蚂蚁集团必须遵守这些规定才有可能上市,据媒体报道,其中包括公司需要重新划分为受中国央行监管的金融控股公司。

分析师一致认为,此次整顿将影响蚂蚁集团的增长和盈利,有一种情景预测蚂蚁集团的估值可能减少49%。这些变化也会影响到阿里巴巴,因为阿里巴巴持有蚂蚁集团33%的股权。张勇在财报电话会议上表示,蚂蚁集团正在进行重组,但他表示,阿里巴巴“对于这些变化和不确定性对于阿里巴巴集团的影响,无法做出完整的和公平的评估。”

蚂蚁集团的上市计划搁浅之后,一向高调的马云再也没有出现在公众视野或者网络世界,直到1月末,他在一场慈善活动中发表了视频讲话。马云再次露面之后,阿里巴巴的股价上涨了11%,这是一个明显的信号,表明投资者将阿里巴巴与其富有争议的创始人联系在一起,尽管他现在在阿里巴巴已经不担任任何官方职位。

西尔弗斯认为,阿里巴巴第三季度的抢眼业绩证明,公司离开马云依旧可以繁荣发展,但这位亿万富翁“成了监管担忧的晴雨表。”

对蚂蚁集团的整顿只是第一击,阿里巴巴帝国随后又遭到了一系列监管措施的打击。

12月24日,中国市场监管部门对阿里巴巴旗下的天猫(Tmall)在线购物平台的不正当价格行为作出处罚,同一天宣布由于担心该科技巨头的市场主导地位会伤害消费者并导致不公平竞争,因此正在对阿里巴巴进行反垄断调查。

张勇表示,阿里巴巴“充分配合”中国市场监管部门的调查,并表示公司已经成立了由多个业务部门的负责人组成的“特别工作组”,以展开内部审查。

张勇称:“面对反垄断调查,我们的态度是坦诚面对,积极配合。”

核心优势

尽管面临监管阻力,阿里巴巴的核心业务依旧在蓬勃发展。2020年前几个月,中国各地因为新冠疫情实行了封城措施,大幅促进了阿里巴巴电商业务的发展,因为数以亿万计的人们滞留在家中,只能从网上购物,而无法去实体店消费。

阿里巴巴每年11月11日的“光棍节”促进了公司的季度销售,当天的总商品销售额达到740亿美元,较2019年增长了26%。

阿里巴巴云服务的收入同比增长了50%,并且在截至12月31日的一个季度首次实现盈利。得益于跨境零售电商业务的增长,阿里巴巴物流业务菜鸟网络(Cainiao)的收入也同比增长了51%。

中国电商零售业务的收入同比增长39%,阿里巴巴旗下服务东南亚市场的电商平台Lazada以及土耳其最大的电商平台Trendyol,均促进了公司国际零售业务的发展;该部门的收入增长了37%。

西尔弗斯表示:“阿里巴巴的核心业务在繁荣的市场中继续茁壮成长。”他表示,如果未来几个月阿里巴巴的股价因为监管障碍等“非核心问题”受到冲击,这对于投资者而言或许代表了买入的好机会。

张勇在财报电话会议中称中国监管环境的变化是阿里巴巴的“近期挑战”,这“代表了重新评估和完善公司经营实践的重要机会。”(财富中文网)

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group on Tuesday reported fiscal third-quarter financial results that beat analysts' forecasts, but its share price slipped after the announcement amid an ongoing regulatory crackdown and uncertainty about Alibaba's iconic founder Jack Ma.

Alibaba's revenue grew 37% year on year to reach $33.9 billion. Its online retail marketplaces gained 22 million customers in China since the end of the previous quarter, and its fast-growing cloud-computing sector achieved profitability for the first time ever in the quarter ended Dec. 31.

Despite Alibaba's better-than-expected results, shares were down 4% on Wednesday morning in Hong Kong following Tuesday evening's earnings report. The dual-listed firm's shares on the New York Stock Exchange closed down nearly 4% on Tuesday. "The market's focus on possible regulatory risk may be obscuring Alibaba's strong performance," noted Brock Silvers, chief investment officer at Kaiyuan Capital. Chinese regulators have been targeting Alibaba and its fintech affiliate Ant Group since late last year.

Alibaba chairman and chief executive Daniel Zhang acknowledged the matter on a Tuesday earnings call after announcing Alibaba's quarterly results. "I would like to address another subject that everyone is equally focused on, which is the potential impact of China's changing regulatory environment on Internet platform companies," he said.

Alibaba shares are currently down roughly 17% from highs in October, despite a partial rebound in January when Jack Ma appeared at an online event after his disappearance from public life sparked rumors about his whereabouts.

"There are still external factors to worry investors," Silvers says, pointing to the "regulatory troubles" of Ant Group and the fact that Ma "remains mostly unseen" in public.

Jack Ma uncertainties

On Nov. 3 Chinese authorities suspended the planned initial public offering of Ant Group, which Ma also founded, citing regulatory concerns. The fintech giant hasn't received a new IPO date, and Chinese regulators have issued a slew of new rules that Ant must comply with before it can list, including reportedly being reclassified as a financial holding company overseen by China's central bank.

Analysts concur that the overhaul will cut Ant's growth and profitability, with one scenario projecting a 49% decrease in Ant's valuation. The changes will affect Alibaba, which holds a 33% equity stake in Ant. On the earnings call, Zhang cited Ant's ongoing restructuring but said Alibaba is "unable to make a complete and fair assessment on the impact that these changes and uncertainties will have on Alibaba Group."

After Ant's scrapped IPO, the famously extroverted Ma didn't appear in public or online until late January, when he spoke via video for a philanthropy event. Alibaba's share price jumped as much as 11% after he resurfaced, a clear sign that investors associate the company with its controversial founder even though he no longer holds any official position at Alibaba.

Alibaba's strong third-quarter performance is evidence that the company can thrive without Ma, but the billionaire "serves as a proxy for regulatory concerns," says Silvers.

The Ant crackdown was just the first in a series of regulatory actions to hit the Alibaba empire.

On Dec. 24, China's market watchdog fined Alibaba's Tmall online shopping site for pricing irregularities, and on the same day announced it was conducting an antitrust probe into Alibaba over concerns that the tech titan's dominant market positions are hurting customers and are unfair to competitors.

Zhang said Alibaba is "fully cooperating" with Chinese market authority's probe and said the company has established a "special task force" of leaders from its various business units to conduct internal reviews.

"We approach this anti-monopoly investigation with a cooperative, receptive, and open mindset," Zhang said.

Core strength

Beyond the regulatory maelstrom, Alibaba's core businesses thrived. The coronavirus pandemic lockdowns that swept China in the first few months of 2020 boosted Alibaba's e-commerce division, as hundreds of millions of people stayed home and ordered online instead of buying in stores.

Alibaba's annual Singles Day shopping festival, held every November, boosted its quarterly sales, generating $74 billion in gross merchandise value, a 26% increase from Singles Day in 2019.

Revenue from Alibaba's cloud services increased 50% year on year and turned a profit for the first time in the quarter ended Dec. 31. Revenue from Cainiao, Alibaba's logistics business, surged 51% year on year, helped by growth in cross-border retail.

Revenue from e-commerce retail in China rose 39% year on year, while Lazada, the Alibaba-owned e-commerce site that serves consumers in Southeast Asia, and Trendyol, Turkey's largest e-commerce platform, boosted Alibaba's international retail business; the unit's revenue grew 37%.

"Alibaba's core businesses continue to do well in a booming market," Silvers says. If Alibaba's stock takes a hit in the coming months for "noncore concerns" like the regulatory hurdles, he said, it could represent a buying opportunity for investors.

In the earnings call, Zhang called the changing regulatory landscape in China a "near-term challenge" for Alibaba and said it presents "important opportunities for reassessing and improving our business practices."
