BABA is not among the 142 companies we ingest every day, so it is not in the fundamentals screener or the size and group lists built from it. This page reads its SEC filings when the page is built. Ask us to add it: we keep a count per ticker and nothing about you.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA) is a services-business services, nec company. Piotroski F-Score 3/7. 18 insider Form 4 filings in the last 90 days. Fundamentals from SEC filings; prices are end-of-day.
Every filed figure on this page is free to read, dated and sourced; no column is held back for a paid plan. Each section with figures says what date they are true as of and where they come from.
What’s behind BABA’s latest move — the size, how unusual the volume is, and the catalyst on the tape, explained and cited to the source.

Per filed share, as each report states it. Free cash flow per share is operating cash flow less capital expenditure, over the diluted weighted average share count (or net income over diluted EPS where the count is tagged per share class).
Each year’s change comes from one annual report, which states that year and the year before on the same share basis, and the rate compounds those changes; so a split or a restatement between reports cannot bend it. A rate needs a positive figure at both ends of its window. The DCF above grows total free cash flow and divides by today’s share count, so a per-share rate also carries the buybacks or new shares of those years. These are past figures, not a forecast.
Not shown yet: the P/E range BABA has traded at, which would set the discount rate and terminal assumptions against its own history. It needs a long daily price history we are not yet licensed to display.
Per ADS: one ADS is 8 ordinary shares (20-F filed 2026-05-20), so EPS and book value are multiplied by 8 and the share count divided by it. The filed share count is 5x or more off the one filed before it, a tagging fault until shown otherwise, so it is withheld.
Estimates, not targets. The DCF treats free cash flow as cash flow to equity and divides by shares (the common retail shortcut — it skips net debt and a full WACC), so it’s a sanity-check, not a valuation opinion. All inputs are from BABA’s SEC filings; change any assumption above and the numbers update live. Educational only — not investment advice.

As filed. We do not recategorize line items. Each chart plots one XBRL concept exactly as BABA tagged it: revenue us-gaap:Revenues, net income us-gaap:NetIncomeLoss, EPS us-gaap:EarningsPerShareDiluted, with EPS multiplied to a per-ADS figure, as its chart title says, period by period; a period the company did not tag on its own is left out, not estimated. A figure that disagrees with the filing is a bug in our extraction, not a policy, and we fix it: report a mismatch.
A plain-English read on BABA plus an auto-SWOT, built from BABA's SEC filings and market data, every point cited, nothing invented. Educational, not investment advice.
Four AI analysts, a bull, a bear, a risk manager, and a PM, debate BABA using only the SEC-filing and market facts below. Every point cites its evidence; nothing is invented. This is educational research, not investment advice.
Ask about BABA’s revenue, earnings, valuation, filings, insiders or Congress trades. Answers come only from the numbered evidence the research brief uses, each citing the items it rests on. A question about one figure is answered by code, free. One that puts figures together is 1 generation (Pro). A question about whether to buy, sell or hold, how much, or where the price goes gets a refusal.
Educational only — not financial advice. Data from SEC EDGAR public filings; no live market data is shown. Figures reflect the company's own reported XBRL facts and may lag.

Daily closes from 2024-07-01 through 2026-11-09, 593 sessions, split-adjusted. No direction, pattern, entry, target or overbought label: these are measurements. Filings dated on the move days are in BABA’s filings; the chart with studies draws every figure.

Projected from BABA's own SEC 8-K filing history — the year-over-year reporting pattern (about 47% land the exact day, about 91% within a week, measured across 4,713 past reports). No analyst estimates and nothing invented, and every confirmed date links to the source it came from, so you can check it yourself. It upgrades the momentBABA files or announces.
Earnings dates are the company's 8-K Item 2.02 filings (SEC). Reactions from Databento EOD.

This records what these sources returned when they were read. It is not a forecast: a company can announce an event at any time, and ex-dividend dates are not covered. Window 2026-11-10 to 2026-11-23, Eastern dates. Deadlines follow SEC Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 and Form 20-F, moved past weekends and federal holidays by Rule 0-3.
2 of the 2 checks that ran found nothing new for BABA. 2 could not run.
Each event check looks back 30 days from the date its own source was stored, read or generated, never from the date this page was built. A check that finds nothing is a measurement of that window, not a forecast, and a check that cannot be dated does not make the claim at all.
None of the 5 estimators could run on BABA's filings.
One estimator is a point estimate, not a range, so no band and no valuation label are published for BABA. Below is everything that was checked, so the refusal can be read rather than taken on trust.
Nothing produced a value.
No fiscal year of price history was on record; the historical multiples need 5. No sector peer set is priced for BABA, so sector medians could not fill the gaps.

Total return including reinvested dividends, from BABA’s adjusted closing prices. Past return is not a forecast and not investment advice.
Both dividends and buybacks are in use — a mixed return policy. Buybacks flex with cash flow; dividends carry a stronger implicit commitment to maintain.
Every figure is from BABA’s SEC cash-flow statement. This describes how management deployed cash last period — it is not a grade of that deployment, not a forecast, and not investment advice. Whether reinvesting, paying down debt, or returning cash was the right call depends on the return each earns, which the filings do not settle. Educational information only.
Only 1 of 5 tests could be computed from the filings — too few to summarise, so the individual results are shown without an overall label.
The score is passed over computable, not passed out of five. If only three tests could be run on BABA’s filings, the score is out of three and the other two are listed with the reason they were skipped. Scoring a skipped test as a failure would punish a company for how its industry reports, and scoring it as a pass would flatter one.
Labels come from that ratio:
Below three computable tests we publish no label at all and show the individual results instead. A summary drawn from one or two tests is not a summary.
Free cash flow coverage carries the most weight in practice, because dividends are paid in cash and free cash flow is the cash actually available to pay them. The earnings payout ratio is the better-known test but the weaker one — earnings are an accounting figure, dividends are not. Where the two disagree, believe the cash.
Why tests get skipped. A REIT gets no earnings payout ratio: GAAP depreciation on appreciating property understates a REIT’s distributable earnings, which is exactly why the industry reports FFO and why REITs are required to distribute most of their taxable income. Banks and insurers get no leverage test, because deposits are debt and structurally high leverage is what a balance-sheet business is, not a warning sign.
The biggest limitation, stated plainly. The coverage tests read a single fiscal year, and one year of cash flow is far more volatile than a dividend record. A legal settlement, a tax payment or an acquisition can sink coverage in a year that says nothing about the dividend. Where a weak year contradicts a long unbroken record, we say so above rather than letting the harsher number stand alone — but you should still check what happened in that specific year.
The streak is the weakest test here, and it is deliberately listed last. Every dividend that was ever cut had an unbroken streak right up until the year it was cut. A freeze does not break the run — a company that holds its dividend flat through a bad year has not cut it — so raises are counted separately, and a long flat run cannot pass itself off as dividend growth.
Every figure above is from BABA’s own SEC filings and the arithmetic is stated on this page. This describes what the filings show about the dividend’s coverage — it is not a prediction that the dividend will or will not be cut, not a recommendation, and not investment advice. A covered dividend can still be cut, and a strained one can still be maintained for years. Educational information only.
These two signals are 92 days apart. Form 4 is filed within two business days of the trade; 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end and describes positions as they stood on that date. Agreement between them is not confirmation — the funds may have moved months before the insiders did, or the other way round. Read them as two separate observations that happen to point the same way, never as one signal backing up another.
From SEC Form 4 and 13F filings. Both are backward-looking disclosures on different reporting clocks, and neither predicts price. Educational information only — not investment advice.
