Alibaba (BABA) has lost nearly a quarter of its market capitalization this year and is drifting towards its 52-week lows. The stock peaked in January amid the optimism over its artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, but has since plunged. Let's ***** yze the reasons that have caused BABA stock to crash and whether the pullback is an opportunity to add more shares.
Alibaba has been battling several challenges. Most recently, data from China's National Bureau of Statistics showed that retail sales in the world's second-biggest economy fell 0.6% in May. The metric fell short of estimates and marked the first time in three years that China's retail sales fell. While Alibaba is seen as the leading AI play in China, much of the company's revenues and profits are tied to its e-commerce platform, whose fortunes are intertwined with China's retail consumption.
