1) Alibaba went public twice and both times its
price rose. Would it happen again?
The first time its price rose was in November 2007, when Alibaba
was on the aura of the B2B concept and listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE),
the stock code was 1688.HK.
During that time, when the technology stocks
were popular, the stock price rose by 193% on the day of the
listing, which was the biggest increase in the stock market in the same
year.
However, the stock price was affected by the
financial crisis in 2008.
The second time its price rose was in September 2014, Alibaba was listed
in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), an opening price of 68 US dollars, the
stock code (BABA).
On the first day of listing, the stock rose by 38.07%,
a total market value of 231.4 billion US dollars!
It became the world's highest market value at that time, two major
Internet companies, second only to Google. Alibaba's share price has now
reached $185.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange?

because they are short of money?

companies, but the financial report still shows that it is "not short of
money."

234.1 billion yuan available cash in
