The report, citing unnamed sources, says that Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) would like to wait until after Labor Day on Sept. 1, for the IPO date.

Investors were given an update on the Alibaba IPO today (Tuesday) when Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO) reported second quarter earnings. Yahoo owns a 24% stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) and will be selling a large percentage of its shares through the IPO.

Numerous estimates place the Alibaba IPO near $20 billion, which would make it the largest U.S. IPO ever. At the least, Alibaba is expected to easily beat the $16 billion raised by Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) in 2012, making it the largest Internet IPO of all time.
Alibaba stock could start trading on the New York Stock Exchange as soon as next month, and the Chinese e-commerce IPO is expected to be one of the largest U.S. IPOs ever.
But for those who buy Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE: BABA) stock following its public debut, the size of the initial public offering pales in comparison to the performance of BABA stock.
