Alibaba increases share repurchase programme to $10 billion
"Alibaba competing internet companies Meituan fell over 5% and JD.com dropped more than 2%"
Alibaba Group Holding Limited is a Chinese multinational technology company specializing in e-commerce, retail, Internet, and technology.
Recently, Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd listed in Hong Kong dropped over 7% to HK$212.20 ($27.37) following the companys raise in its share repurchase plan to $10 billion from $6 billion.
Alibaba in a statement said, "This Share Repurchase Program will be effective for a two-year period through the end of 2022."
China’s market regulator began an antitrust investigation into Alibaba last week, part of an accelerating crackdown on anticompetitive behavior in China’s booming internet space.
Financial regulators on Sunday also pushed Ant Group Co, an Alibaba affiliate, to rectify financial regulatory violations, after Chinese regulators abruptly rejected Ant’s blockbuster $37 billion initial public offerings in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Alibaba competing internet companies Meituan fell over 5% and JD.com dropped more than 2%.
