Guessing JD.com is likely in specie dividend from Tencent rather than "add"

Just FYI, the JD specie shares will only be issued on march 25th. So report is correct that Temasek has added JD. Probably channeling the funds from Alibaba sales.

Depends whether ex date or credit date. Most institutions will go by ex date else NAV would change.
My guess cause it's only US$12.2m for a new position of a liquid stock

Alibaba shares slip after it reports slowest ever revenue growth and misses expectations
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/24/alibaba-...e-ipo.html
Quote:*The 10% revenue growth is the slowest quarterly year-on-year growth rate for the company since its 2014 U.S. listing.
*Alibaba has been facing macroeconomic headwinds and increased competition in China, which have weighed on the company’s business.
*Alibaba shares closed 0.7% lower on Thursday.

Thought experiment: What is Alibaba worth, if topline growth slows <10%, net margin compressed due to increased cost from regulations and competition (benefitting from regulations); and most of the profits can't be returned to shareholders, due to "common prosperity" initiatives?

If most/ all profits cannot be return to shareholders in the future. Alibaba is worth zero or close to zero. Simple!

Two ways to return in China's landscape.
Share buybacks and handing out the shares of listed subsidiaries to shareholders. I think that was the plan for Ant

hi donmihaihai,
Let's don on the lens of value investing. I think it should be worth at least "liquidation value" or "replacement cost". To be conservative, let's put it as "liquidation value".
I believe a social enterprise that is not profit driven, is still "worth something". For example, Philanthropist A is a new billionaire and wants to leave his name in history. But he is in a rush as he is really old. Rather than do a greenfield startup which takes time, he could purchase an existing social enterprise from Philanthropist B (replacement cost). And when Philanthropist A passes on and his heir decide to cash out, they could break up the social enterprise into parts and sell (liquidation value).

Alibaba has a VIE; hence, shareholders are only entitled to the profits, "control" but not "ownership" of the assets:
Quote:Real Tencent then creates a complex web of legal agreements that serve to give Fake Tencent a claim on the profits and control of the assets that belong to Real Tencent.
(Note that there is no recognition of any actual ownership, just a claim on the profits and indication of an element of control)

Not sure if "liquidation value" has any barring to the VIE shareholders. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
