Background and price data on Alibaba stock
Key figures, regulatory filings and further news on Alibaba stock can be found bundled in our topic area and on the company's own investor relations pages.
How Alibaba compares with peers
Alibaba's New York-listed American depositary shares last closed at $107.22 on 06/18/2026, according to price data compiled by MarketBeat. That level leaves the stock well below its highs from the boom years of Chinese internet growth.
The group's market capitalization stands around $248.74 billion at a last indicated price slightly above $107 per share, based on recent quote data. That keeps Alibaba firmly in the global mega-cap bracket alongside US e-commerce and cloud platforms.
Analyst estimates and sentiment snapshot
Analyst consensus still reflects a constructive stance on Alibaba despite regulatory and macro headwinds in China. Susquehanna recently raised its price target to $185 from $170 while keeping a Positive rating on the shares. This underlines continued confidence in the business model.
Mizuho also nudged its target higher to $195 from $190 and reiterated an Outperform view, citing long-term growth opportunities in e-commerce, cloud and logistics. Overall, the Street picture remains dominated by Buy and Outperform calls, even as short-term trading signals stay mixed.
Friday sector and peer-group view
On a sector basis, Alibaba competes directly with global internet platforms ranging from Amazon in North America to MercadoLibre in Latin America and Sea in Southeast Asia. Investors often view the stock as a proxy for Chinese consumer spending and digitalization trends.
Against this backdrop, sentiment on Chinese equities and US-China relations frequently spills over into Alibaba's trading pattern. Macro signals from Beijing on consumption support and tech regulation therefore remain key reference points for many portfolio managers.
The product behind the stock
Alibaba generates most of its revenue from its commerce platforms, especially the Taobao and Tmall marketplaces in China, and through Lazada in Southeast Asia. The group also runs a fast-growing cloud computing arm, Alibaba Cloud, and offers digital payments and logistics services across its ecosystem.
