# Never judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that Alibaba's stock price would surge nearl

Never judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that Alibaba's stock price would surge nearly 8% three days after its earnings report, hitting a six-month closing high.

Indeed, while Tencent's net profit grew 54% year-over-year, Alibaba's actually declined 11%. These results can hardly be called good, but they're certainly not bad either.

I actually think Alibaba's reforms over the past two years have been effective. Taotian's GMV and revenue have stabilized and are starting to recover.

The fact that multiple investment firms, including Scion Asset Management (the investment company of Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration for the protagonist in *The Big Short*), have increased their stakes in Alibaba proves its value $Alibaba(BABA.US) $Tencent(TCEHY.US)
