11月25日晚间，阿里发布2026财年第二季度（即自然年2025年三季度）财报，即时零售与云业务成了拉动阿里的两驾"马车"。其中，即时零售业务以六成收 入增速撑起了阿里国内电商大盘的增长。当然，阿里的利润表现也付出了代价，经营利润下滑超过八成。 今年以来，阿里与京东、美团在本地生活战场鏖战半年多。尽管战役投入巨大，但各家似乎都没有收手的意愿。很显然，巨头在意的不是短期的利润得失， 而是电商新叙事的可持续性。 即时零售一跃成为阿里电商攻势最猛的业务。2026财年第二季度，阿里即时零售业务收入达229亿元，同比增长60%，增速首次超过国际电商业务。阿里认 为，这主要是得益于今年4月底上线的淘宝闪购带来的订单增长。 阿里国内电商的客户管理收入、批发业务增速则与上一季度的增速保持了一致。其中，客户管理收入同比增长10%，为789.3亿元。而批发业务收入同比增 长13%。这也意味着，本季度阿里国内电商大盘收入能同比增长16%，还是得益于即时零售的显著拉动作用。 | | | 截至９月 30 日 | | --- | --- | --- | | | 2024 | | | | 人民幣 | 人民幣 | | | | (以直萬 | ...
