NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 10/16/13 — Alibaba Group-s latest results, published in Yahoo-s most recent quarterly financial report, show powerful revenue growth and even stronger improvements in operating profitability. Using a revenue multiple approach, PrivCo estimates that Alibaba would be valued at approximately $110 Billion if it were to go public tomorrow, and implying an IPO size of $18-$25 Billion, likely on the New York Stock Exchange.
PrivCo Analysis:
China-s largest internet commerce platform is essentially a combination of eBay, Amazon, PayPal, Groupon and more. Founded by Jack Ma in 1999, Alibaba Group has rocketed to the top of China-s major new enterprises with strong topline growth and robust margins. The transaction would also catapult founder Jack Ma into the highest rung of Asian billionaires at a net worth of up to $33 billion. Sustained revenue growth and strong margins make the company a strong play on the Chinese market.
