Alibaba's Latest Spinoff - What's Going On?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) plans to spin off Cainiao Smart Logistics Network Limited with a separate listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, while retaining majority shareholding. This comes amid concerns over China's property sector, affecting Alibaba's stock and broader indexes like iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:FXI) and KraneShares Trust KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:KWEB). The global e-commerce sector is shifting towards discount retailing due to China's economic issues and inflation in the U.S. and Europe. Despite growth reported by Alibaba and JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:JD), PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD) reported a 66% YoY revenue increase, outperforming both.
