6 Stocks Moving On Alibaba's Q1 Beat

It's a well-known fact that whenever a frontline company reports its earnings topping the expectations, its impact would be felt on other stocks of the same sector. The reaction to Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's BABA Q1 results demonstrated similar sentiment.

The Chinese company's results came a day after JD.com Inc JD revealed better than estimated numbers. Both companies' results benefited from the improving consumer confidence sentiments apart from the significant growth in retail sales both on a year-over-year and month-over-month basis. The companies also benefited from better than predicted Chinese GDP in the second quarter.

There are other companies that gained because of direct or indirect involvement.
