$BABA-W(09988)$ shares are trading 3.9% lower to HKD 98.90 as of 231PM today, breaking below the psychological HKD 100 level and trading to its lowest price level since 9 April 2025

While today's move is partly sector-driven, with tech shares seeing a global rout given overvaluation concerns, Alibaba is nevertheless a standout underperformer versus its China tech peers

📉Today's sell-down takes its one month performance to -18%, compared to the Hang Seng Tech's 9.9% one-month loss, as the company is weighed down by company-specific developments

Earlier this month on 8 June, the US Pentagon designated the company as a "Chinese military company"

Later on 11 June, Beijing's market regulator chastised leading e-commerce platforms including Alibaba for misleading promotions for its 618 campaign

There was also market chatter this month on whether Alibaba would lose out to Huawei to win government-backed data center projects, and concerns regarding pricing pressure on Alibaba's AI tokens which would erode the company's cloud margin outlook
