Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) has invested $71.4 million or 100 billion Korean won in the South Korean apparel brand Ably Corp.
What Happened: Ably is now South Korea&#8217;s first unicorn of 2024, with the deal valuing the company at over $1 billion, as per a <a href="https://www.kedglobal.com/e-commerce/newsView/ked202412020004">report</a> by The Korean Economic Daily.
Following the investment, Ably&#8217;s valuation has soared to around 3 trillion won (approx. $2.1 billion), a significant increase from its 900 billion won valuation during its 67 billion won pre-Series C fundraising round in January 2022.
Why It Matters: This deal marks the first equity investment by China-based Alibaba in any Korean shopping app.
Ably is the first Korean startup to reach a valuation of over $1 billion this year, following Naver Corp.&#8217;s Kream Corp., which achieved a 1 trillion won valuation in December 2023 after completing a bridge round financing.
As per its 13F filings for the third quarter, Alibaba holds stakes in XPeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), Weibo Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WB#NASDAQ">WB</a>), Perfect Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PERF#NYSE">PERF</a>), and Best Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEST#NYSE">BEST</a>) in the U.S.
Alibaba increased its stake in XPeng by 371% in the September 2024 quarter compared to the June 2024 quarter. During the same period, it reduced its stake in Perfect by 2%, while its Weibo and Best stakes remained unchanged.

Price Action: Shares of Alibaba Group Holdings&#8217; ADR closed 0.90% higher at $87.37 per share on Friday as compared to a 0.31% advance in the NYSE Composite Index.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>, Alibaba has a consensus price target of $119.82 apiece based on the ratings of 23 analysts, but a consensus rating of &#8220;Buy.&#8221; The highest price target among all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BABA/analyst-ratings">analysts tracked by Benzinga</a> is $155 per share issued by Deutsche Bank on Jan. 13, 2023, whereas the lowest price target is $85 apiece issued by Bernstein on Aug. 16.
The average price target of $122 per share between Barclays, Benchmark, and Mizuho implies a 39.64% upside for Alibaba.

Weibo Beats Q1 Revenue And EPS Estimates Despite Yearly Decline - What's On The Cards?

Major U.S. index futures jumped early Thursday as Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38974130/nvidia-reports-beat-and-raise-q1-announces-150-dividend-hike-10-for-1-stock-split">earnings provided a shot in the arm for the market.</a> A couple of market-moving economic data on the job market and the manufacturing sector and a Federal Reserve official&#8217;s speech could also affect the day&#8217;s trading. Given the confounding rate outlook, the focus is likely to be squarely on these numbers to understand their implications for the Fed funds rate. A market strategist pointed to historical seasonal strength around May-end through early July.

Cues From Previous Session
U.S. stocks ended Wednesday&#8217;s session weaker, dragged by the minutes of the May Federal Open Market Committee meeting that suggested the central bank is resigned to the idea of staying &#8220;higher for longer.&#8221; As rate-cut bets unraveled, bond yields nudged up, creating additional selling pressure. Investors also preferred to remain cautious ahead of Nvidia&#8217;s earnings.
The averages opened on a narrowly mixed note and hugged the unchanged line until the afternoon. After declining sharply following the release of the minutes, they made good some of their losses by late trading and yet ended lower for the day.
Barring healthcare, industrial, and IT stocks, all other S&amp;P 500 sector classes ended in the red.
The major indices all settled off their all-time highs, although the Nasdaq Composite managed to hit an intraday high.

Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick on Wednesday shared a chart to suggest the market could go another leg up in the near term. Citing historical data, the strategist said, &#8220;The last week or so of May and early June tends to be a bullish time for stocks historically,&#8221; he said.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">While the market is cheering each piece of weak data, in the hope that it would prompt the Fed to lean toward a rate cut, too much bad news will ultimately be bad for the market, said Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Lisa Shalett. &#8220;History suggests that too much bad news eventually becomes just that — bad news — and investors risk being caught unprepared when the tide turns,&#8221; she said.</figcaption></figure>
&#8220;Our current focus is on U.S. consumers, whose spending powers more than two-thirds of the national economy. Data here paints an increasingly fragile backdrop,&#8221; she said, citing the recent sub-par University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading and weak April retail sales data.
Shalett mentioned the following as better bets during the fluid environment:
<ul>
<li> Companies with high-quality cash flows and achievable earnings targets.</li>
<li> investment-grade credit and a form of &#8220;insurance&#8221; via options on the VIX or puts on the S&amp;P 500</li>
<li>international equities and real assets, such as gold, real estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships, and commodities</li>
</ul>
Upcoming Economic Data:
<ul>
<li>The Labor Department is due to release its customary weekly jobless claims data at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Economists, on average, expect the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits to come in at 220,000 for the week ended May 18, down slightly from 222,000 in the previous week.</li>
<li>S&amp;P Global will release its flash U.S. manufacturing and services purchasing managers&#8217; indices for May at 9:45 a.m. EDT. The consensus estimates call for the flash manufacturing PMI to remain unchanged at 50, a level that demarcates expansion and contraction, and the services PMI to edge up from 51.3 in April to 51.6 in May.</li>
<li>A Commerce Department report due at 10 a.m. EDT is expected to show new home sales coming in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 675,000 in April, down from the March reading of 693,000.</li>
<li>The Treasury will auction four- and eight-week notes at 11:30 a.m. EDT and 10-year TIPS at 1 p.m. EDT.</li>
<li>Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic is scheduled to speak at 3 p.m. EDT.</li>
