Let's hope the increased share buyback can help to stabilise the price and not fall below 100 again. While the price had recover well recently, the price had fallen 56% compared same day of last year. If we compared against its high during Oct 2020, the current price is 1/3 of its high of 300. To recover to last year value, BABA price needs to double. To recover to its 2020 high, BABA needs to triple. Let's be realistic of the chances of it happening. Share buyback can at most prevent price from falling too much but will do little to help to its recovery to their previous levels.
