China's Alibaba misses first-quarter revenue estimates

China's Alibaba missed market estimates for quarterly revenue on Friday as the company's e-commerce business grapples with tough competition and choppy consumer demand, overshadowing gains in its cloud computing business.

The company reported total revenue of 247.65 billion yuan ($34.62 billion) in the first quarter ended June, compared with an estimate of 252.92 billion yuan, according to data compiled by LSEG.
