Why Alibaba Stock Is Trading Higher On Friday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba's logistics arm, Cainiao Network Technology, is preparing for an IPO on the Hong Kong stock exchange, causing Alibaba's stock to rally. The IPO could position Cainiao as one of the first units of Alibaba to go public. The company aims to raise at least $1 billion through the share offering. Alibaba's stock also rose in line with the broader indexes iShares MSCI China ETF and KraneShares Trust KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF. Alibaba has also postponed the Hong Kong IPO of its Freshippo grocery chain due to the current lukewarm reception of consumer stocks in China.
