Alibaba Stock Slides on Trade Tensions — But a $433M Payout Is Still on the Table

Court: S.D. New York

Case: 1:20-cv-09568

Alibaba BABA dipped 2% to $106.55 on Monday, pressured by renewed tariff uncertainty and a broader market selloff. Still, the stock holds a solid 26.8% gain for 2025 and is once again hovering near the $100 support level — a price floor that’s held firm all year.

According to Schaeffer’s Investment Research, BABA is also flirting with its 200-day moving average — a technical signal that has historically preceded strong rebounds. In three of the past five instances when similar conditions occurred, the stock gained nearly 7% over the next month. With options pricing in unusually low volatility, traders may see a setup forming.

Don’t Forget the Legal Side: BABA’s $433.5M Settlement

While investors focus on trade headlines and chart setups, long-term shareholders might have missed a quieter development — Alibaba’s $433.5 million settlement with investors over Ant Group’s blocked IPO.

• July 2020: Ant Group announces record $30B IPO.
• Nov 2, 2020: Executives summoned by regulators over lending practices.
• Nov 3, 2020: Ant IPO suspended; BABA drops 8%.
• Dec 2020: Antitrust probe sends BABA down 13% in one day.
• April 2022: Shareholders sue Alibaba for failing to disclose regulatory risks.

• Alibaba settled the lawsuit for $433.5M earlier this year.
• If you held BABA during the affected period, you may still qualify for payout.
• Late claims are currently being accepted.
• Payouts typically take 8–12 months after court approval.
