What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Thursday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) is close to being surpassed by PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD) as China's most valuable e-commerce company. Alibaba's market cap in Hong Kong is at $187 billion, just below PDD's $188.3 billion. The shift is due to challenges Alibaba faced after China's 2020 tech crackdown and competition from new players like PDD. Alibaba's struggles include a need for innovation and adapting to anti-monopoly regulations, which led to a record fine in 2021. Alibaba's stock is near its yearly low, with a 19% YTD loss. PDD, on the other hand, has seen rapid growth and global expansion, with its app Temu gaining significant traction.
