Alibaba Stock Is Still a Strong Buy After Jack Ma's Departure
Legendary Chinese executive Jack Ma announced he was stepping down as the executive chair of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: BABA) in September.
This left investors wondering what's next for Alibaba stock.
Alibaba stock, already roiled this year by aggressive trade war tactics between the United States and China, fell 5% in the immediate aftermath of the announcement. That sent the shares to a record low for the year.
However, this is no time to run from China's online retail juggernaut.
In fact, this is a buying opportunity for those who want to invest in Alibaba stock…
Alibaba started as a small online shop in Hangzhou 19 years ago. It's now China's top online retailer. In its last fiscal year, profits hit $10.2 billion.

You see, Alibaba has been planning a transition in leadership for some time.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Alibaba began planning a leadership change in 2013, when Ma transitioned from CEO to executive chair. During this transition, Alibaba veteran Daniel Zhang became the new CEO.
As a result, Zhang has supervised Alibaba's staggering growth over the past several years as CEO.
Spearheading the move to combine online retail with brick-and-mortar shopping, Zhang implemented BABA's outrageously successful Singles Day strategy.
With Zhang replacing Ma as executive chair next year, the company is sending a clear signal that BABA will continue to follow its existing, highly successful strategy.
In fact, the company could become more profitable than ever…

Don't let the news of the day change your investment strategy. You don't want to sell winning companies - the ones that dominate their sectors - because of a single event.
That's especially true this week with the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The company confirmed recently that its founder and leader Jack Ma will step down as executive chair next year and leave the company board of directors the year after that.

However, Wall Street is overreacting per usual. As the company's recent earnings report illustrated, Alibaba's growth potential has only gotten stronger over the last year. Earnings increased 44.4% year over year, while revenue increased 61% to $9.87 billion.
