What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Tuesday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) is facing significant challenges, including a loss of direction, regulatory issues, and declining staff morale. The company was overtaken in market capitalization by PDD Holdings Inc (PDD) and its shares are now 75% off their peak. Alibaba's new CEO, Eddie Yongming Wu, is tasked with consolidating control over its diverse businesses. The company's restructuring efforts and competition from ByteDance's Douyin and PDD's Pinduoduo and Temu add to its struggles. Alibaba's growth strategy is unclear, with mixed signals from dividends and share buybacks, and uncertainty around its fintech affiliate Ant and logistics arm Cainiao's IPO. BABA shares traded lower by 2.01% at $75.95 in premarket trading.
