Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group (BABA - Free Report) made a blockbuster Hong Kong debut with the share price popping up more than 8% in the early trading hours. If the gains continue, it will be among the best first-day performances involving the biggest IPOs in the city since 2005, after AIA Group (17.1%), Bank of China (15.3%), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (14.7%) and China Unicom (8.9%).
Asia’s most-valuable company raised $11.3 billion through the company’s secondary listing by pricing 500 million shares at HK$176 each. The amount could rise to $12.9 billion if an over-allotment option is exercised. The listing represents the biggest IPO globally this year and the largest in Hong Kong in nearly a decade (see: all the Technology ETFs here).
The move will give Alibaba fresh capital for some of its newer businesses such as food delivery and physical retailing. The impressive homecoming debut by the Chinese Internet giant fueled confidence among investors’ and Hong Kong’s reputation internationally as a financial hub, which has been hindered by long-running anti-government protests in the city. The listing in mainland China will now allow Chinese investors to buy and sell Alibaba shares easily at home amid rising trade tensions.
