Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE: BABA) posted a top- and bottom-line beat for its Q2, driven by strong user growth and healthy monetization, on Wednesday morning.

The firm’s report provided four reasons to remain bullish on Alibaba:

  • The company’s leading position as “a cost effective platform to reach Chinese consumers.”
  • The competitive advantages that its ecosystem and expanding moat provide.
  • Its strength in the cloud segment.
  • An attractive sum of the parts valuation, “anchored in the potential for upside from its Ant Financial stake.”
  • Having said this, the experts added that the on-going SEC inquiry into the company’s accounting practices is likely to cap investor enthusiasm until the issue is resolved.
