SHANGHAI, May 14 (Reuters) - China's Ant Group posted a
19% fall in net profit of 7.87 billion yuan ($1.09 billion) in
the three months to Dec. 31, according to Reuters calculations
based on Alibaba Group Holding's ( BABA ) earnings released on
Tuesday.
The e-commerce giant reports profit from Ant one quarter in
arrears.
Chinese authorities last July announced a fine of 7.12
billion yuan for Ant Group for violating laws concerning
consumer protection and corporate governance, ending a
years-long regulatory overhaul of the fintech company.
Both groups were co-founded by Chinese billionaire Jack Ma
and Alibaba ( BABA ) holds a 33% stake in Ant.
