Alibaba Group Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

Alibaba Group had very high historical volatility over the last 90 days
Alibaba Group Holding has accumulated 132.5 B in total debt with debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 24.5, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Alibaba Group Holding has a current ratio of 0.46, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Alibaba Group until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Alibaba Group's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Alibaba Group Holding sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Alibaba to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Alibaba Group's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Alibaba Group Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Alibaba Group or Alibaba sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Alibaba Group's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Alibaba stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
