Weighed down by increased investment in Taobao Tmall Group (TTG) and its international businesses, CLSA anticipated that the Group's adjusted EBITA will fall by 5% YoY to RMB40.7 billion.

However, CLSA projected a series of measures to enhance user experience and protect merchants will gradually take effect, and believed that BABA-W's revenue and profitability will improve in the third fiscal quarter ending December, while share buybacks and inclusion in the Stock Connect will bring support to its share price.

Therefore, the broker kept its target price for Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA.US) at US$125, with rating reiterated at Outperform.
