What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Monday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is undergoing business restructuring, including closing its quantum computing research lab and donating the equipment to Zhejiang University. The move affects about 30 staff members and marks a shift from advanced technology research to cost-cutting. Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma has started a new venture, 'Hangzhou Ma's Kitchen Food,' focusing on pre-packaged food. Alibaba's workplace app, DingTalk, is being updated to support Huawei's HarmonyOS, with a partnership that aligns with other Chinese tech giants like JD.com Inc (NASDAQ:JD) and Meituan (OTC:MPNGF) (OTC:MPNGY) developing apps for HarmonyOS. BABA shares traded slightly lower in premarket.
