Movement Alert｜Alibaba Falls 4.63% in Pre-Market Trading, Slower September Online Retail GMV Growth Pressures Sentiment

Market Focus10-22 16:04

On October 22, Alibaba fell 4.63% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $99.5797 per share, with turnover of $13.19 million.

The main catalyst was a fresh market focus on weaker September online retail trends: a recent broker note projected national online retail goods GMV growth at roughly 0.1% year over year in September, slowing from 2.2% in August, while its third-quarter online GMV and parcel growth forecasts were trimmed to about 2% and 3%, respectively, below prior expectations.

That softer demand read-through coincided with renewed weakness in Alibaba’s Hong Kong shares, which dropped below HK$100 and at one point fell more than 6%, while its US night session also declined. Although the same broker maintained a Buy rating and a HK$172 target price, the immediate market reaction centered on near-term pressure on e-commerce growth and quarterly expectations.
