Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) has announced that its Southeast Asian e-commerce platform, Lazada, achieved a significant milestone by posting a monthly profit for the first time in July 2024.
During a town hall meeting, Lazada’s CEO, James Dong, shared that the company recorded positive EBITDA, marking a key achievement in its business strategy, SCMP reports.
The company has been leveraging artificial intelligence-enabled operations, improved online marketing, user incentives, and optimized logistics to drive growth.
Lazada, operating in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, has focused on long-term growth and sustainability.
Despite this achievement, Lazada continues to face intense competition in Southeast Asia. Sea Limited’s (NYSE:SE) Shopee remains the leading e-commerce platform in the region, with a 48% market share.
Alibaba has injected approximately $7.4 billion into Lazada. Looking ahead, Lazada aims to reach an annual gross merchandise value (GMV) of $100 billion by 2030
Alibaba’s international commerce retail business revenue for the fourth quarter grew by 45% year over year to $3.80 billion.
Alibaba Group Holding stock lost over 13% in the last 12 months as it battles intense domestic e-commerce rivalry in a weak domestic economy.
Investors can gain exposure to Alibaba Group Holding through SPDR NYSE Technology ETF (NYSE:XNTK) and Invesco Nasdaq Internet ETF (NASDAQ:PNQI).
Price Action: BABA shares traded lower by 0.35% at $80.80 premarket at the last check Wednesday.
