Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group (BABA Quick QuoteBABA - Free Report) reported robust second-quarter fiscal 2018 results before the opening bell yesterday. The company beat our earnings and revenue expectations as well as lifted its fiscal year revenue guidance.

Earnings of $1.29 per ADS came in much above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.04. Revenues jumped 61% year over year to $8.3 billion and surpassed our estimate of $7.8 billion. The robust performance was credited to the growing core e-commerce business, booming cloud computing services and strong media and entertainment growth (read: Here's Why China Tech ETFs Are Surging).

Core e-commerce revenues grew 63% year over year, cloud computing revenues soared 99% while digital media and entertainment revenues increased 33%. Mobile monthly active users on its China retail marketplaces increased 20% year over year to 549 million while annual active buyers reached 488 million, up 22% year over year.

The Chinese e-commerce giant has been expanding its presence in core online retail business with investments in supermarkets and stores as well as investing in new artificial intelligence and cloud computing businesses. As such, it raised its full-year revenue growth outlook to 49-53% from 45-49% for the holiday quarter (read: Here's Why China Tech ETFs Are Surging).

Market Impact

Blockbuster earnings have initially sent BABA shares to an all-time high but was unable to maintain strength at the close, falling 0.7% on the day. The positive momentum is likely to continue given that Alibaba has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and a Growth Style Score of A though it has an ugly Zacks Industry Rank in the bottom 38%.

Further, given solid results and promising growth opportunities, it would be not surprising if co-founder Jack Ma's Alibaba would overtake the U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon in terms of market cap in the coming months. Alibaba currently has a market cap of $473.1 billion, closer to the market cap of $527.3 billion for Amazon (see: all the Technology ETFs here).

Given this, investors may want to bet on Alibaba for higher returns. The dip in price could be a good opportunity to cash in on the same. As a result, we have highlighted five ETFs having the highest allocation to the Chinese e-commerce giant that have upside potential in the coming months.
