Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) posted better-than-expected revenue for the first quarter on Friday.

The company posted quarterly revenue of $34.57 billion, up 2% year-over-year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $34.26 billion. On a like-for-like basis, excluding revenue from the divested Sun Art and Intime businesses, Alibaba’s revenue would have grown 10% year-over-year.

Despite the top-line beat, adjusted earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) came in at $2.06, falling short of the analyst consensus of $2.13.

Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu said the company drove strong growth by focusing on consumption and AI + Cloud, hitting milestones in quick commerce and boosting engagement across its platforms.
