What's Going On With Alibaba Stock Friday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) has reduced its stake in GoGoX Holdings from 12.23% to 8.89% over two months, making Yao Jinbo the largest shareholder. This move comes as Alibaba prepares for the IPO of Cainiao Smart Logistics Network. GoGoX, despite its expansion in Asia, has lost over 90% of its market value since its Hong Kong debut in June 2022 and expects continued losses in 2023. Alibaba is also facing challenges such as regulatory crackdowns and competition from PDD Holdings Inc (PDD), which has outperformed Alibaba's stock. Additionally, Alibaba's subsidiary Lazada laid off staff in Singapore as part of ongoing leadership changes.
