알리바바 그룹 홀딩스(NYSE:BABA)는 화요일(17일) 중국 백화점 체인 &#39;인타임&#39;을 매각하기로 결정했으며, 이로 인해 13억 달러의 손실이 발생할 것이라고 발표했다. 이러한 움직임은 운영을 간소화하고 주요 이커머스 비즈니스에 집중하기 위한 알리바바 전략의 일환이다.

On Friday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s central bank</a>, the People&#8217;s Bank of China (PBOC), decided to maintain its main benchmark lending rates amid efforts to support economic growth while managing a weakening yuan.
The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) remains at 3.1%, while the five-year LPR is steady at 3.6%, influencing corporate loans, household lending, and mortgages.
This decision aligned with expectations from a Reuters poll of 27 economists, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/20/china-pboc-keeps-benchmark-lpr-rates-steady-as-fed-signals-fewer-cuts-ahead.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The rate freeze comes after the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s widely expected 25-basis-point rate cut earlier this week. The Fed also signaled only two rate reductions in 2025, fewer than previously anticipated.
Chinese tech barometer Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) traded lower on Friday. Other U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are also trading lower, including Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), and XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>).
Lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper for capital-intensive companies on an expansion drive, especially artificial intelligence technologies.
Analysts indicated to CNBC this development may influence global monetary policy but will likely have a limited direct impact on China&#8217;s easing trajectory. However, it could exacerbate pressures on the yuan, which is already under strain from economic challenges.
Economic data indicates that China continues to grapple with deflationary pressures, lackluster consumer demand, and a prolonged property market slump despite various stimulus measures initiated in recent months. China&#8217;s 2025 economic forecast encounters external challenges, such as geopolitical tensions, semiconductor restrictions, and tariff threats from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, Chinese policymakers pledged to enhance monetary easing measures, including further rate cuts, to invigorate the economy. However, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42508408/what-is-going-on-with-alibaba-jd-li-auto-xpeng-stocks-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">PBOC held</a> rates steady in November following October&#8217;s modest reductions, opting for a cautious approach.
Yan Wang, Chief Emerging Markets and China Strategist at Alpine Macro, told CNBC that while further rate cuts might alleviate the yuan&#8217;s deflationary pressure, the government&#8217;s fiscal flexibility is more likely to drive economic recovery in the coming year.
Price Actions: At the last check on Friday, BABA stock is down 3.10% to $81.71. JD is down 2.53%, BIDU is down 1.85%, PDD is down 3.56%, and XPEV is down 3.15%.

US-Listed Chinese Stocks Fall As China's Central Bank Keeps Key Rates Steady

YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson, better known by his creator name &#8220;MrBeast,&#8221; is taking his talents to Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) to launch a new game show this week. 
The show is likely to garner a lot of attention and could benefit Amazon shares, as well as billionaire David Tepper who counts Amazon as his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">largest U.S. holding</a>.
What To Know: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/11/42199235/amazon-prime-vs-netflix-mrbeast-game-show-arrives-dec-19-squid-game-season-2-drops-1-week-later">MrBeast&#8217;s &#8220;Beast Games&#8221;</a> is set to premiere exclusively on Amazon&#8217;s Prime Video platform on Thursday.
The show is based on Donaldson&#8217;s popular YouTube channel, which has 337 million subscribers at the time of writing. According to Amazon, the show will be a reality competition series with 1,000 contestants competing for a $5 million cash prize over 10 episodes.
The show will launch its first two episodes a week before the highly-anticipated release of &#8220;Squid Games 2&#8221; on Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), underscoring the competitive pressure of the streaming space. The remaining episodes will be added in weekly installments.
Donaldson, who will serve as host and executive producer, previously said he chose Amazon over other streaming platforms because the company gave the streamer &#8220;the most creative control.&#8221;
&#8220;If you're a streamer/youtuber I want to see your reaction to my new show tomorrow!! I convinced Prime Video to let you guys react to episode 1 on stream and make reaction videos on it,&#8221; Donaldson said in a <a href="https://x.com/MrBeast/status/1869443030039814198">post</a> on X on Wednesday.

Why It Matters: Amazon shares are up more than 50% year-to-date and have climbed nearly 15% over just the past month as the stock rallied to new highs. Given the popularity of MrBeast, &#8220;Beast Games&#8221; has the potential to make waves in the streaming world, which could further benefit Amazon shares.
Amazon is Tepper&#8217;s largest U.S. holding and represents the third largest position in Appaloosa&#8217;s portfolio behind Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>).
In the third quarter, Tepper trimmed his Amazon position by 8%, but it still remains his largest U.S.-based holding by a wide margin, representing 8.86% of the firm&#8217;s portfolio, versus a 6.2% weighting in his next-largest holding Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and a 5.31% weighting in his third-largest U.S. position Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). It&#8217;s worth noting that Tepper trimmed Microsoft by about 18% and Meta by about 33% in the third quarter.
Appaloosa is already outpacing gains in the S&amp;P 500 this year with the firm up approximately 30% versus roughly a 27% gain in the S&amp;P 500. Appaloosa appears to be anticipating further price appreciation in Amazon shares. 
Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/amzn">Amazon shares</a> were down 1.17% at $228.41 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) announced on Tuesday its decision to&nbsp;sell its Chinese department store&nbsp;chain, &#8220;Intime,&#8221; resulting in a $1.3 billion loss. This move is part of Alibaba&#8217;s strategy to streamline its operations and concentrate on its primary e-commerce business.
What Happened:&nbsp;The sale is a continuation of Alibaba&#8217;s restructuring efforts, which began last year when the company was divided into six business units. The retail giant is also integrating its domestic&nbsp;and international e-commerce platforms into&nbsp;a single unit to better compete with rivals like&nbsp;PDD Holdings&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) and&nbsp;ByteDance, according to&nbsp;Reuters.
Alibaba will&nbsp;sell Intime to a consortium&nbsp;led by&nbsp;Youngor Fashion and Intime&#8217;s management&nbsp;for 7.4 billion yuan ($1.02&nbsp;billion), pending regulatory approvals. The company acquired Intime in 2017 for $2.6 billion to expand its brick-and-mortar presence.

Reuters reported in February that Alibaba is looking to divest several&nbsp;consumer sector assets, including Intime,&nbsp;to refocus on its core e-commerce&nbsp;operations. The challenging consumer environment in China has pressured retailers and e-commerce platforms, prompting Alibaba&#8217;s strategic shift.
Why It Matters: The decision to sell Intime comes amid a broader restructuring within Alibaba. In November, the company announced plans to consolidate its domestic and international e-commerce operations into a single unit, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42120110/alibaba-reshapes-e-commerce-operations-names-jiang-fan-as-unit-ceo">Alibaba E-commerce Business Group</a>. This new division will be led by Jiang Fan, who has been the CEO of Alibaba International Digital Commerce. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing competitiveness against formidable rivals.
In October, Alibaba became a significant holding in the portfolio of Chinese fund manager Zhang Kun, as economic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41580089/alibaba-becomes-key-holding-in-chinese-fund-managers-portfolio-economic-measures-spark-interest-in-l">measures increased interest</a> in leading tech stocks. Zhang&#8217;s fund acquired 40.4 million Hong Kong-listed Alibaba shares, making it the second-largest holding in his portfolio. This indicates a renewed confidence in Alibaba&#8217;s future prospects.
Additionally, in September, Alibaba joined <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40778129/alibaba-joins-chinas-stock-connect-eyes-billions-in-investment-boost">China&#8217;s Stock Connect program,</a> allowing mainland investors to access its Hong Kong-listed shares. This is expected to significantly boost capital inflows and enhance investor access to the company.
Price Action: Alibaba stock closed 2.02% lower on Monday at $86.06, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Meanwhile in Robinhood, Alibaba was trading around 86.24 in the after-hours market at 2:45 AM ET.

Alibaba Stock Rises Marginally In Overnight Trading On Robinhood Despite $1.3 Billion Loss From Sale Of Chinese Retail Chain Intime

U.S. listed Chinese stocks Alibaba Group Holding. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), NIO Inc. (NYSE:&nbsp;NIO),&nbsp;Li Auto Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;LI),&nbsp;and XPeng Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;XPEV) stocks are trading lower on Monday.
The data shows that China&#8217;s economic growth slowed in November. Key indicators such as retail sales and property investment underperformed expectations.
The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported a 3% year-on-year increase in November retail sales, down from October&#8217;s 4.8% growth and missing economists&#8217; estimates of 5.3%.

Fixed-asset investment growth for the year through November rose by 3.3%, while property investment declined by 10.4%, reflecting persistent challenges in the real estate sector, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/economic-indicators/article/3290925/chinas-retail-sales-november-miss-estimate-30" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
NBS spokesperson Fu Linghui attributed the weaker retail sales to the early timing of China&#8217;s &#8220;Double 11&#8221; shopping festival, which shifted some spending to October as per SCMP.
However, Fu emphasized that combined sales figures for October and November showed more substantial growth compared to the third quarter.
Despite this, he acknowledged the need to stabilize employment and incomes to fully unleash domestic demand, citing an increasingly complex external environment and insufficient internal demand as ongoing challenges.
At China&#8217;s annual Central Economic Work Conference (CEWC) last week, leaders prioritized <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42460099/us-listed-chinese-stocks-give-up-gains-in-anticipation-of-more-stimulus-to-beat-us-tariffs" rel="noreferrer noopener">boosting consumption</a>, enhancing investment efficiency, and expanding domestic demand as top economic goals for 2025.
Industrial production rose 5.4% year-on-year in November, slightly exceeding October&#8217;s 5.3% increase, while the urban unemployment rate remained steady at 5%.
Experts, including Ding Shuang of Standard Chartered, told the SCMP that retail sales have returned to a subdued pace, suggesting that broader policy measures are needed to boost consumer confidence and stabilize key markets like property and stocks.
China&#8217;s economic outlook for 2025 faces external headwinds, including geopolitical tensions, semiconductor embargo and tariff threats from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Price Actions: At the last check on Friday, BABA stock is down 1.80% to $86.24. JD is down 1.23%, BIDU is down 1.67%, LI is down 1.67%, and XPEV is down 0.81%.

On Thursday, Alibaba Group Holding.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;BABA), also known as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-tech-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">China&#8217;s tech barometer</a>, traded upwards as China kicked off its annual economic work conference&nbsp;on Wednesday to outline its policies and growth targets for 2025.&nbsp;
The two-day Central Economic Work Conference was expected to run through Thursday. Investors are watching for additional stimulus measures.

The market expects more stimulus measures to counter possible tariffs launched by President-elect Donald Trump, as he promised during his campaigns.
Other U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, including JD.com, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;JD),&nbsp;Baidu, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;BIDU),&nbsp;NIO Inc. (NYSE:&nbsp;NIO),&nbsp;Li Auto Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;LI),&nbsp;and XPeng Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;XPEV)&nbsp;also saw positive movement in their share price trajectory in the premarket session.
However, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/china-ends-planning-meeting-vows-stabilize-economy-details-116716806" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, Chinese leaders on Thursday assured of taking a proactive approach to boosting the economy but provided no details.
Post-meeting, lack of details on definitive measures led to a negative reaction from investors, leading to a fall in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks, which gave up all the premarket gains.
On Monday, President Xi Jinping&#8217;s Politburo pledged <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42391254/us-listed-chinese-stocks-jump-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-looser-monetary-policy-assurances" rel="noreferrer noopener">aggressive fiscal measures</a> and a relatively more flexible monetary policy in 2025 to boost domestic consumption.

China&#8217;s stimulus so far has focused on producers and infrastructure, especially electric vehicles, solar energy, and batteries.
Economists expect China to set a higher-than-usual budget&nbsp;deficit target&nbsp;of up to 4% of GDP.
According to Bloomberg, Xi expressed confidence in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy in several meetings over the past week.&nbsp;
Larry Hu of Macquarie told Reuters that China&#8217;s initiatives for 2025 will depend on its GDP target and the new U.S. tariffs. He does not expect China to announce 2025 growth, budget deficit, or other targets.

US-Listed Chinese Stocks Give Up Gains In Anticipation Of More Stimulus

China&#8217;s leadership has taken a surprising turn in monetary policy, signaling a shift to a &#8220;moderately loose&#8221; stance. But experts weigh on when a big stimulus would be introduced.
What Happened: China&#8217;s leadership surprised markets on Monday by indicating a shift in monetary policy after 14 years. The change to a &#8220;moderately loose&#8221; stance, last used during the 2008 financial crisis, reflects deep economic concerns, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/11/chinas-policy-shift-signals-economic-worries-but-outsized-stimulus-is-unlikely.html">reported</a> on Thursday.
Experts, including&nbsp;Larry Hu&nbsp;from Macquarie, suggest this shift signals worries over sluggish domestic demand and potential trade conflicts. Despite recent stimulus efforts, China&#8217;s economy faces deflationary pressures and a housing market slump.
Gabriel Wildau&nbsp;of&nbsp;Teneo noted that Monday&#8217;s announcement does not signal that a "bazooka-style stimulus will arrive immediately.&#8221; He added that China&#8217;s previous massive stimulus package was 13% of its GDP.

Recent measures include a five-year, 10 trillion yuan stimulus to address local government debt. However, economists like those at&nbsp;Morgan Stanley&nbsp;believe further fiscal expansion is needed. The&nbsp;People&#8217;s Bank of China&nbsp;has been cautious with rate cuts to avoid capital flight.
Why It Matters: The shift in China&#8217;s monetary policy comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42391254/us-listed-chinese-stocks-jump-on-chinas-stimulus-measures-looser-monetary-policy-assurances">U.S.-listed Chinese stocks</a>, such as Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), JD.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) , and Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>), have shown increased volatility. As of Thursday, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro</a> data, the YTD returns of Alibaba increased by 19.02%, JD.com rose by 40.48% but that of Baidu fell by 22.52%. This increase is attributed to the anticipation of China&#8217;s annual economic planning meeting, where financial goals and further stimulus measures are expected to be discussed. 
Meanwhile, global markets have shown mixed reactions. On Dec 10, U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42432268/asia-and-europe-markets-mixed-crude-oil-up-amid-stimulus-hopes-dollar-strengthens-global-markets-today-while-us-slept">markets closed lower</a> as investors awaited key inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decisions.&nbsp;

Benzinga Market Summary: Chinese Stocks Fall On Weak Import Data, Oracle Misses Earnings And Revenue, Google Unveils Quantum Chip, Morgan Stanley Raises Tesla PT

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower following weak China import data.

Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies took a hit on Tuesday, giving back much of Monday's rally as disappointing trade data highlighted persistent challenges in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/china">world's second-largest economy. </a>
China&#8217;s November trade data continued to paint a stark picture of an economy grappling with a prolonged slowdown. 
Imports fell as domestic demand remains weak, while exports surged, particularly to the U.S., driven by manufacturers racing to beat potential new tariffs under President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration.
Weak domestic consumption and a deepening housing market crisis have clouded investor optimism, despite Beijing&#8217;s promises of fiscal and monetary stimulus for 2024.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chinese Imports Dive, Exports</h3>
Imports to China slumped 3.9% year-over-year in November to $214.87 billion, marking the steepest decline in nine months. This contraction, worse than October's 2.3% drop and far below expectations of 0.3% growth, underscores a softening domestic economy plagued by weak consumption and an ongoing housing crisis.
In the first 11 months of 2024, imports edged up just 1.2% to $2.36 trillion, highlighting lackluster demand in a country long touted as a key driver of global trade.
Meanwhile, exports grew 6.7% year-over-year to $312.31 billion in November, missing forecasts of 8.5% growth and sharply down from October&#8217;s 12.7% surge. Despite marking the eighth consecutive month of export expansion and a 26-month high in export value, the numbers tell a more nuanced story.
The export surge reflects manufacturers scrambling to front-load shipments to the U.S. in anticipation of new tariffs. Overall, Chinese exports to the U.S. rose by 8% last month.
"Chinese companies rushed to get goods to the U.S. before new tariffs are imposed," said Saxo Bank&#8217;s head of commodity strategy Ole Hansen.
China&#8217;s trade surplus ballooned to $97.44 billion in November, up from $69.45 billion a year earlier and above market expectations of $95 billion. This was the largest surplus since June, fueled by the export growth and plummeting imports.
While a larger surplus might seem like a win, it signals deeper troubles. A high trade surplus is a symptom of weak domestic demand, as subdued consumption is curbing imports while China increasingly relies on exports for growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stimulus Skepticism Grows, Geopolitical Risks Add Pressure</h3>
The weak trade data dampened enthusiasm for Beijing's recently announced fiscal and monetary stimulus measures for 2024. "China sits on 300% total debt-to-GDP and flirts with deflation," macro analyst Alfonso Peccatiello, known as @macroalf, wrote on X. "They better get their act together for real this time."
Markets appear skeptical about Beijing's ability to deliver meaningful economic recovery. Andreas Steno Larsen, chief investment officer at Steno Global Macro Fund, commented, "Markets are likely less inclined to buy into the Chinese stimulus story this time due to a lack of credibility."
Adding to economic woes, geopolitical tensions are flaring. Taiwan raised its alert level as nearly 90 Chinese navy and coast guard vessels were reportedly massing near Taiwan, southern Japan, and the East and South China Seas, according to Reuters.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top Chinese Stocks Reverse Course</h3>
PDD Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) fell 4% in premarket trading after a stunning 10.5% surge on Monday. 
Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) dropped 2.6% following a 7.5% gain, and JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) slid 3.6%, erasing some of its 11% rally from the previous session.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) tumbled 4.4%, reversing Monday&#8217;s gains of 8% and 12.4%, respectively.
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) tumbled 4%, partially erasing Monday&#8217;s 8.2% spike.

Pactiv Evergreen, RealReal, Kodiak Sciences And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) co-founder Jack Ma appeared on Sunday at the 20th anniversary of his co-founded Alibaba fintech affiliate&nbsp;Ant Group.
This is Ma&#8217;s first public appearance at the fintech giant event since he shunned public appearances after the Chinese regulators scrapped Ant Group&#8217;s $39.7 billion initial public offering in November 2020.
Ma lauded Ant Group for its accomplishments, expressed optimism over the next two decades for the fintech giant, and said he expected &#8220;more miracles&#8221; as he drew parallels with the revolution the internet brought two decades back, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3289918/jack-ma-makes-rare-speech-ant-groups-20th-anniversary-predicts-ai-driven-future" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> Chinese media reports.

Prior reports indicated Ant Group <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/06/39312369/alibabas-fintech-affiliate-ant-group-boosts-global-ai-efforts-with-multi-billion-dollar-investment" rel="noreferrer noopener">doling out $2.9 billion</a> on research in 2023 to drive its artificial intelligence goals. In 2024, Alibaba <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40650893/alibaba-clears-3-year-regulatory-antitrust-scrutiny-stock-gains" rel="noreferrer noopener">received a clean chit</a> from the Chinese antitrust regulator after over three years of investigative scrutiny. The regulator fined Alibaba $2.8 billion in 2021, equivalent to 4% of the e-commerce juggernaut&#8217;s 2019 revenue.
Ant Group Chair Eric Jing Xiandong, Alibaba and Alipay co-founder Peng Lei also graced the Ant Group event.
In 2023, Ma disassociated himself from Ant Group by surrendering his corporate roles.
Recently, Xiandong shared plans to relinquish the CEO position to finance chief Cyril Han Xinyi in March 2025. Ant Group had restructured its shareholding in 2023, giving Ma 53.5% of the voting power.
Meanwhile, Ant Group unit Ant International reported robust growth across its core business segments following a spin-off in March as its mobile payment platform, Alipay+, gained traction globally, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-trends/article/3289878/ant-international-reports-growth-after-march-spin-cross-border-payments-surge?module=latest&amp;pgtype=homepage" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Ant International told the SCMP that its four business pillars – Alipay+, Antom, WorldFirst, and Embedded Finance – have delivered strong performance.
At the end of November, Alipay+ linked over 90 million merchants in 66 markets to 1.6 billion user accounts, up from 88 million merchants in 57 markets and 1.5 billion users in December last year.
Cross-border transactions through Alipay+ partners surged threefold in 2024. WorldFirst, a global business-to-business payment service, hit an annual total payment volume (TPV) of $100 billion.
Antom nearly doubled its TPV year-over-year from January to November 2024, with robust card processing volume growth.
The Embedded Finance segment has emerged as a new growth driver, offering financial solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies.
Alibaba Group Holding stock gained 15% year-to-date courtesy of China launching fiscal stimulus to drive the economy.
Price Action: BABA stock closed higher by 9.04% at $93.70 at the last check on Monday.
