US Stocks Open Mixed on Thursday; Alibaba and Grab Fall After Earnings

Tiger Newspress2023-05-18

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped Thursday as Wall Street traders weighed crosscurrents including debt ceiling talks, the Federal Reserve's next interest rate move and the latest corporate earnings.

China's Alibaba stock opened slightly higher and then fell more than 3%. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd posted a 2% rise in quarterly revenue that missed expectations and said its board has approved a spinoff of its cloud-computing business. Finance chief Toby Xu also said Alibaba's board has approved the process to start external financing for Alibaba International Digital Commerce Business Group and initial public offering (IPO) explorations for Cainiao Smart Logistics Group and the execution of the IPO for Freshippo.

Grab Holdings Ltd said on Thursday that an early Ramadan weighed on sales at its delivery business, taking the shine off an otherwise positive quarter and sending the Southeast Asian company's shares down 3% in morning trading.
