Softbank Group Corp said it will sell at least US$7.9 billion of shares in Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd as it looks to raise capital.

Shares of Alibaba were down more than 3 percent in extended trading on Tuesday after Softbank announced its plan to sell the shares for the first time since investing in the company in 2000. Alibaba closed in New York up $1.03 to $82 per share, but then tumbled $2.50 or by 3.05 per cent to $79.50 at 6:15 pm local.

Softbank will hold about 28 per cent of Alibaba after the sale, the company said on Tuesday.

As of March 31, Softbank held a 32.2 per cent stake in Alibaba.

Softbank said it will form a trust that will offer $5 billion in securities that can be exchanged into Alibaba shares in three years.
Alibaba will buy $2 billion of its shares from Softbank, and intends to fund the deal with cash on hand, Alibaba said. The company’s partnership will buy another $400 million of shares.

Softbank Chairman and Chief Executive Masayoshi Son will remain a director at Alibaba, while Alibaba Executive Chairman Jack Ma will remain on the board of Softbank.

In connection with the transaction, Softbank also entered into a lockup agreement with Alibaba under which it will not transfer any Alibaba shares held by the company for six months.

It was not immediately clear if the sale has any impact on Yahoo Inc’s stake in Alibaba.

Alibaba: Gems Jack Ma May Share At Its Investor Day

By Shuli Ren

Alibaba has been expanding heavily away from its cash cow core e-commerce business, into loss-making efforts such as Cainiao and O2O food delivery services. These endeavors freak investors out, in that they lower Alibaba’s operating margins and make valuation of this e-commerce increasingly difficult.

So it makes sense Alibaba will try to ensure investors its core business is strong and its profit margins are firm.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) Tries to Quell Doubts With Huge Forecast

BABA expects to pump up the top line by 48%

By Dan Burrows

Chanos says that Alibaba doesn’t report the costs of its vast delivery operations on its U.S. financial statements. BABA classifies the delivery segment as a separate entity, which wouldn’t be an issue if it didn’t suck up most of the company’s cash flow.

If the costs of the affiliated delivery operations are unknown, then it’s impossible to know the truth about BABA’s bottom line.

Alibaba: Why Morgan Stanley Raised Its Target To Street High Of $130.60

By Shuli Ren

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for Alibaba Group (BABA) from $119.30 to $130.60, promising 71% upside.

Why is Morgan Stanley doing this now? Amid all this Brexit uncertainty, risky assets tend to be sold off first. The bank’s upgrade at this point in time suggests analysts’ conviction.

According to analyst Robert Lin and team, Alibaba has transformed itself from an e-commerce to a data company, which fetches higher valuation. It is essentially the same argument for Amazon.com (AMZN).

Specifically, Alibaba’s AliCloud will drive significant value. Lin wrote:

We value AliCloud at US$39bn, based on 4.5x F20e P/S; our US Internet team values AWS at US$91bn by applying 5.6x F17e P/S. By F20, we estimate that AliCloud’s revenue can reach Rmb58bn, at a >89% CAGR for F16~20; – surpassing AWS’s revenue in 2015.

We believe our long-term multiple for AliCloud is justified given faster growth and visible revenue opportunity. It has 500k paying customers, including half of the top 35 Chinese “unicorn” Internet companies. Its value is further supported by the significant positive impacts on all of Alibaba’s businesses.

Our DCF-based price target rises 9%, reflecting AliCloud’s better revenue and earnings outlook.
