The Chinese e-commerce giant reported a fiscal fourth-quarter net profit of 23.50 billion yuan ($3.41 billion), nearly double from the same period a year earlier due to gains on investments. However, adjusted net income came to 86 million yuan, plummeting nearly 100% year over year. Revenue rose 3% to 243.38 billion yuan.
