Alibaba's business segments include core commerce, cloud computing, innovation initiatives, digital media and entertainment.

Alibaba's sales in Q3 of 2023 showed a 9% year-over-year increase, with revenue totaling $30.8 billion.

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Alibaba Group Holding P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Alibaba Group Holding's current stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Alibaba Group Holding stocks trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Alibaba Group Holding's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.5506. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Alibaba Group Holding's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Alibaba Group Holding's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $181.7 billion.
