Alibaba: keeping the stock in the portfolio!
Show Me the Money! 22 July, 2020, by Vladimir Rojankovski, Senior Analyst, Grand Capital
Alibaba’s affiliate company Ant Group, operating the mobile payment service Alipay, reportedly started the process of its initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Shanghai’s Nasdaq-style STAR market simultaneously. In China Alipay is much more prominent than the namesake portal (alibaba.com) of Alibaba Group.
Ant was previously valued at $150 billion after its last funding round in 2018, making it the world's most valuable start-up. Reportedly, Ant generated about 120 billion yuan or $17.1 billion dollars in revenue and nearly 17 billion yuan or $2.4 billion dollars in net profit last year.
This is a very good news for the Alibaba stock which rose over 50% since April. Its earnings reporting day is scheduled for August 13, so there is plenty of time to judge on this event keeping the stock in the portfolio.
