Description: BABA Alibaba Holding
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) leverages its extensive technology infrastructure and marketing reach to enable merchants, brands, retailers, and other businesses to connect with consumers both in mainland China and globally.
The firm operates a suite of digital retail platforms-including Taobao, Tmall, and the wholesale marketplaces 1688.com and Alibaba.com-as well as international e-commerce sites such as AliExpress, Lazada, Trendyol, and Daraz. Consumer-to-consumer and community marketplaces like Xianyu, Tmall Global, and Tmall Supermarket complement this ecosystem.
Beyond commerce, Alibaba runs Cainiao (logistics), Ele.me (on-demand delivery), Amap (digital maps), Youku (online video), and Damai Entertainment (ticketing and content services). Its cloud arm provides elastic computing, storage, security, big-data, and AI-driven solutions, while ancillary businesses include Freshippo (new-retail groceries), Alibaba Health, Lingxi Games, UC Browser, Quark, Fliggy (travel), and DingTalk (enterprise collaboration).
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Alibaba is classified under the GICS “Broadline Retail” sub-industry.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 total revenue reached approximately ¥873 billion (~$122 billion), with Cloud computing contributing ¥124 billion and posting a 19% year-over-year growth rate; the company’s annual GMV for its core e-commerce platforms was roughly ¥13.5 trillion, reflecting a modest 3% slowdown amid weaker Chinese consumer spending and tighter regulatory oversight.
Sector drivers to watch include China’s post-COVID consumption rebound, the pace of digital-infrastructure investment (especially 5G and AI), and the evolving regulatory environment for antitrust and data privacy, all of which can materially impact Alibaba’s growth outlook.
