SEC Form 13F Information Table Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This filing is a Form 13F Information Table submitted by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd for the period ending March 31, 2018. The document discloses the equity securities held by the reporting manager at the end of the quarter. It does not contain the company's own financial performance data (e.g., revenue, profit) but rather its investment portfolio.
Key Financial Metrics and Holdings
The filing details four specific equity positions held with sole voting authority. The total value of these specific holdings is approximately $157.9 million based on the reported values.
| Issuer | Security Class | Shares/Units | Value ($000s) | Voting Authority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best Inc | Sponsored ADS | 103,000 | 10,000 | Sole |
| Groupon Inc | Common Class A | 143,098 | 143,098 | Sole |
| Momo Inc | ADR | 186,900 | 5,000 | Sole |
| Weibo Corp | Sponsored ADR | 1,075,860 | 9,000 | Sole |
Note: The "Value" column in the source text for Groupon Inc appears to list the share count (143,098) in the value column position, while the share count column lists 143,098. Based on standard 13F formatting, the value is likely $143,098,000, making it the largest position. However, strictly adhering to the provided text where the value column for Groupon reads "143,098" and the share column reads "143,098", the data is ambiguous. The summary above assumes the standard interpretation where the large number represents the value in thousands, as a value of $143,098 for 143,098 shares would imply a $1 share price which is inconsistent with the other holdings. If strictly reading the text as provided without interpretation, the value for Groupon is unclear.
Correction based on strict text adherence: The source text lists "143,098" in the Value column for Groupon. If this is taken literally as $143,098, the total portfolio value is significantly lower. However, given the context of a major holding company, it is highly probable the text parsing in the source merged the share count and value or the value is $143,098,000. The filing text does not provide a clear, unambiguous value for Groupon distinct from the share count.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide comparative data from the prior period (December 31, 2017) to determine material changes in holdings.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total value of the Groupon Inc position, as the source text lists the same number (143,098) for both shares and value, creating ambiguity.
- Confirm if these four positions represent the entirety of Alibaba's reportable equity holdings or if other holdings were excluded from this specific text extract.
- Check subsequent filings to see if these positions were liquidated or increased in the following quarter.
- Review the full Form 13F to ensure no other issuers were omitted from this text snippet.
