BABA is trading at $129.60 (-3.59%) in pre-market ahead of its fiscal Q3 earnings release, pressured by China's slowing economy and broader market weakness.
- Analysts forecast $1.67 EPS (down 43% YoY) on $42.1B in revenue, with option markets pricing a ±5.4% move post-earnings.
- The stock has dropped 17.2% over the past month due to soft consumer spending and intensifying competition in the e-commerce and cloud sectors.
- Despite positive notes from Morgan Stanley and Mizuho, the decline aligns with a broader market dip in the S&P 500 (-0.27%) and Nasdaq (-0.41%).
