Alibaba Group (ISIN US01609W1027) was trading at EUR 97.85 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 11:10 a.m. CEST, down 1.06 percent versus the Xetra close of October 12, 2026 at EUR 98.90. The company completed an HKD 80.00 billion placing of new shares on August 26, 2026, according to Alibaba Group.
Three placing milestones
Alibaba Group announced the proposed HKD 80.00 billion placing on August 23, 2026, announced pricing at the same amount on August 24, 2026, and announced completion on August 26, 2026. The three-step sequence marks a completed capital raise rather than a proposed transaction, with the final announcement carrying the latest status.
What does the placing change?
The proceeds add capital to Alibaba's balance sheet while increasing the number of shares outstanding. The financing figure is large against the company's latest quarterly operating scale, but the placing alone does not establish how the market will value future investment in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Revenue growth meets cash pressure
Alibaba reported USD 39.64 billion of revenue in the June 2026 quarter, up 14.70 percent year over year, while net income reached USD 5.16 billion, according to Business Quant. The revenue comparison is constructive, but the investment burden remains material: Yahoo Finance reported that free cash flow was an RMB 44.70 billion outflow in the June quarter, compared with an RMB 18.80 billion outflow a year earlier.
Next reporting date
Alibaba's next earnings report is scheduled for November 24, 2026, before the market opens, according to Gekko. That date will give investors a fresh test of whether cloud expansion is translating into operating improvement after the capital raise.
Stock trades below the Xetra close
Alibaba Group had a market capitalization of EUR 234.4 billion as of October 13, 2026. Its 52-week range was EUR 79.80 to EUR 156.60, placing the current Lang & Schwarz price below the midpoint of that range.
