Alibaba Stock FY2024 Q3 Third-party Analysts' Forecast & Preview

Part 1: Alibaba Stock Latest News

1. Latest BABA Alibaba Stock Price, December 4th, 2023

2. Alibaba Stock Price Performance, December 4th, 2023

  • - Last 7 Days: -3.58%
  • - Last 1 Month: -13.32%
  • - Last 6 Months: -12.33%
  • - Last 1 Year: -18.26%
  • - YTD: -41.18%

Alibaba's stock price has been volatile in 2023 as the company navigates a challenging regulatory environment in China while working to expand its businesses.

 

The stock jumped in late February after Alibaba reported fiscal third quarter results that beat expectations. Adjusted earnings per share rose 5% to $2.79, exceeding the $2.37 consensus estimate. Revenue fell 6% to $35.9 billion but topped the $35.76 billion forecast. However, the stock gave up gains a day later amid broader market weakness.

 

Earlier in February, Alibaba's stock initially rose 3% seemingly based on news that the company's research institute was working on a chatbot similar to ChatGPT. But the stock erased those gains as the overall market declined.

 

In January, Alibaba's stock surged over 16%, breaking out as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 marked follow-through days. But after hitting a peak of $139.24 on January 9, the stock pulled back below its 50-day moving average.

 

More recently, Alibaba's stock plunged from $101.06 on April 11 to $89.37 on April 12, a drop of 11.69%, after it was reported that Softbank had sold much of its stake in Alibaba. As of October 8, Alibaba's stock price sits at $72.68, down 28.07% year-to-date.

 

According to Ken Shreve (Twitter: @IBD_KShreve), with the stock below its key moving averages, Alibaba does not give a buy signal at current levels. For the stock to break its downtrend, it would need to move decisively above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, currently around $92.50-$93.
