Alibaba Abandons Cainiao IPO, Plans $3.75B Share Purchase Amid Global Expansion
Alibaba Group Holding and its logistics subsidiary, Cainiao Smart Logistics Network, have withdrawn Cainiao's IPO application and proposed a $3.75 billion share purchase offer. Alibaba aims to integrate Cainiao more closely with its e-commerce platforms and temporarily halt its sourcing platform, Ling Shou Tong, for business adjustments. The company plans to elaborate on this strategic shift in a conference call and has seen its stock price decline over the past year.
