Alibaba Jumps Post Q3 Earnings: ETFs to Buy

Alibaba Group BABA spread cheer among investors following its third-quarter fiscal 2025 results. The Chinese e-commerce giant recorded its fastest pace of revenue growth in more than a year. Though it missed estimates on the earnings front, revenues came ahead of expectations. Shares of BABA jumped to a three-year high following the results and closed 8.1% higher yesterday. Investors seeking to tap the growth should invest in ETFs with the largest allocation to this Chinese e-commerce giant. These include Roundhill China Dragons ETF DRAG, Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF PGJ, CoreValues Alpha Greater China Growth ETF CGRO, ProShares Online Retail ETF ONLN and The Nightview Fund NITE. Earnings of $2.93 per ADS missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.08 but were higher than the year-ago earnings of $2.67. Revenues grew 7.6% year over year to $38.5 billion and edged past the consensus mark of $38.2 billion. The revenue growth marks the fastest pace since the September quarter of 2023 (see: all the Technology ETFs here). AI-driven strategies have reaccelerated growth in Alibaba’s core businesses. AI-related product revenues achieved triple-digit growth for the sixth consecutive quarter. The solid trend is likely to continue in the coming quarters. Alibaba is "aggressively investing in AI infrastructure" over the next three years, according to a FactSet transcript. On the conference call, it said it expects its international e-commerce unit to turn profitable next fiscal year and looks to invest more in Cloud and AI over the next three years than in the past decade.Alibaba stock has soared nearly 60% since the start of the year, driven by optimism surrounding future demand for its AI cloud products after Chinese firm DeepSeek unveiled a new AI model. Reports also suggest that Alibaba is exploring a direct investment in DeepSeek. The recent reports also reveal that the company will partner with Apple AAPL to provide AI features for iPhones in China (read: DeepSeek Buzz Boosts China Tech ETFs).ETFs in FocusRoundhill China Dragons ETF (DRAG)Roundhill China Dragons ETF is the first-ever ETF to provide precise exposure to China’s tech leaders.
