Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. posted the slowest revenue growth for the second straight quarter since it went public in 2014, and the Chinese e-commerce giant said challenges from Covid-19 outbreaks are severely cutting into its business across China.

It said that cities with new Covid-19 cases in April represented more than half of its China retail marketplaces.
