Alibaba's Future Hangs In Balance As Shares Drop 75% From 2020 High And Cloud IPO Cancellation
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) faces a challenging future as its shares have dropped 75% from their 2020 high, now trading below $77. The company was fined $2.8 billion for monopolistic practices in 2021 and has recently canceled the IPO of its cloud computing unit. This has led to a decrease in U.S. market value, falling below that of competitor PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PDD). Alibaba's cloud business is also losing market share to Huawei Technologies Co., and the company faces a tough IPO market for its logistics and grocery store chains.
