The short version

In February 2025 Adam Khoo said they were still holding Alibaba, alongside JD and a China tech ETF, but described being done with China stocks, meaning they were not buying any more while keeping what they had bought before. That month they named a risk they were not comfortable with: government overreach that could change the business models of companies the government disliked. In February 2025 they cited Alibaba's intrinsic value on Stock Oracle as $137 against a $125 close the day before the earnings report, calling it still undervalued as of that day. They added that they would ideally sell at least 20 to 30% above intrinsic value.

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Adam Khoo's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is BABA's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-11-02. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
