(<a href=\"\/stock\/BABA\">BABA<\/a>) announced its second-quarter 2025 earnings, revealing a mixed financial picture. The e-commerce and technology giant reported revenue of <strong>247.80 billion yuan<\/strong>, surpassing analyst estimates of 245.2 billion yuan. However, the company&#39;s profitability metrics fell below expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Adjusted earnings per ADS came in at <strong>4.36 yuan<\/strong>, missing the estimated 6.34 yuan. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA was <strong>17.26 billion yuan<\/strong>, below the anticipated 19.3 billion yuan. The company&#39;s Q2 adjusted net income stood at <strong>RMB 10,352 million<\/strong>, with net income at <strong>RMB 20,612 million<\/strong> and EPS at <strong>RMB 1.09<\/strong>. Alibaba&#39;s operating margin for the quarter was <strong>2%<\/strong>, and adjusted EPS was <strong>RMB 0.55<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these misses in profitability, Alibaba emphasized strong growth in its strategic areas. The company noted that its two core businesses, <em>AI + Cloud<\/em> and <em>Consumption<\/em>, continued to deliver robust growth this quarter. Near-term profitability is, however, expected to fluctuate.<\/p>\n<h2>NVIDIA Shares Extend Losses Amid AI Sector Scrutiny<\/h2>\n<p>Shares of NVIDIA Corp. (<a href=\"\/stock\/NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>) extended their recent losses, falling by as much as <strong>4.1%<\/strong> in trading today. This decline comes amidst renewed concerns over stretched valuations in the artificial intelligence sector and a broader market pullback from riskier assets.<\/p>\n<p>The selloff in technology stocks has been a notable trend, with NVIDIA&#39;s shares sliding 3.2% on November 21, 2025, contributing to a broader market weakness that saw the Kospi Index, a bellwether for AI exuberance, tumble by 4.1%. Earlier reports also indicated NVIDIA&#39;s US shares extending losses, down 4% on April 28, 2025. <em>Market sentiment has shown volatility<\/em>, with the stock retracing post-earnings gains in previous sessions, raising doubts about the sustained strength of the AI trade.<\/p>\n<h2>Geopolitical Tensions Persist in Gaza<\/h2>\n<p>In geopolitical news, the Israeli Prime Minister has stated that Gaza militants are delaying the handover of hostage remains. This development underscores the ongoing complexities and sensitivities surrounding the conflict in the region. Past instances in early 2025 saw Israel delaying the release of Palestinian prisoners, citing &quot;shocking scenes&quot; and &quot;humiliating ceremonies&quot; during hostage handovers. These delays were attributed to Hamas&#39;s alleged violations and cynical use of hostages for propaganda purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Alibaba (BABA)
