Alibaba Group Holding reported better-than-expected revenue and it has CNBC's Jim Cramer believing the Chinese consumer "is back."
"They are a good referendum into how the Chinese consumer is doing," Cramer told "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday.
The Chinese e-commerce giant posted earnings per share of $1.40 on revenue of 22.17 billion yuan ($3.49 billion), as mobile gross merchandise volume rose to $1.66 billion, accounting for 62 percent of the company's total GMV.
"This is an amazingly strong number," Cramer said.
Alibaba shares were up nearly 5 percent midmorning Tuesday.
