Alibaba Reports Share Activity for June — But Investors Shouldn’t Overlook This

Court: S.D. New York

Case: 1:20-cv-09568

Alibaba BABA just submitted its June 2025 monthly return to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Key takeaways:

• Issued shares increased due to the exercise of stock options and restricted share units
• Share repurchases offset some of that growth
• The moves are part of Alibaba’s capital management strategy — and may impact valuation
• Analysts remain bullish, with a $180 price target and AI-driven growth projections

Despite recent volatility, BABA is still up 26.8% in 2025. Its investment push in AI and cloud, plus global expansion efforts, are expected to drive longer-term upside.

While tracking buybacks and growth plays, investors may have missed a major legal update. Alibaba previously agreed to a $433.5M investor settlement over claims related to Ant Group’s failed IPO.

• Nov 5, 2019 – Chinese regulators issue antitrust warnings
• Nov 2–3, 2020 – Ant execs summoned; IPO suspended
• Dec 23–24, 2020 – Antitrust probe expands; BABA drops 13%
• Apr 2022 – Investors file lawsuit
• 2025 – $433.5M settlement finalized

If you bought BABA shares between Nov 13, 2019 and Dec 23, 2020, you may still qualify.
