Will Alibaba's Historic Split Into 6 New Business Units Supercharge Its Stock?
Alibaba's (NYSE: BABA) stock surged 14% on March 28 after the Chinese e-commerce and tech giant announced that it would split its business into six new groups: Cloud Intelligence, Taobao Tmall Commerce, Local Services, Cainiao Smart Logistics, Global Digital Commerce, and the Digital Media and Entertainment Group.
