Alibaba's July-August 2025 Share Repurchases

SEC Filing 6-K (0001104659-25-073102)

Alibaba Group Holding Limited filed a Form 6-K on August 1, 2025, disclosing multiple share repurchases executed between July 14 and July 31, 2025, under a board-authorized mandate. The company repurchased 4,087,504 shares in mid-July at prices ranging from $13.53 to $14.99 per share, followed by additional buybacks of 666,400 shares on July 29 ($14.96 avg), 675,200 shares on July 30 ($14.77 avg), and 343,464 shares on July 31 ($14.95 avg). Total repurchases under the program reached 351.15 million shares (1.87% of authorized 1.87 billion share mandate), with aggregate spending exceeding $29 million across the disclosed transactions. All repurchases were made on the NYSE for cancellation, complying with Hong Kong Listing Rules and SEC regulations. The filings emphasize adherence to moratorium periods preventing new share issuances for 30 days post-repurchase. While demonstrating ongoing capital return efforts, the repurchases represent a modest 0.02% reduction in total shares outstanding during this period.
