The article compares Amazon.com (AMZN) and Alibaba Group (BABA), two e-commerce leaders in the US and China. For the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2025, Amazon reported revenue of nearly $716.9 billion, up 12.4%, net income of roughly $77.7 billion, and free cash flow of nearly $7.7 billion. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Alibaba reported revenue of roughly $153.2 billion, up about 2.7%, net income of nearly $15.5 billion, and negative free cash flow of roughly $7.6 billion. The article notes Amazon faces intense competition, antitrust scrutiny including a lawsuit set for trial in 2027, and reliance on China-based suppliers, while Alibaba faces a complex domestic regulatory environment and geopolitical tensions. It concludes that Alibaba appears significantly more affordable than Amazon on both forward earnings and trailing revenue multiples.
