Alibaba ( (BABA) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Alibaba Group Holding Limited reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2026 that, as part of its obligations as a Hong Kong–listed issuer, it submitted a monthly return to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange covering share capital movements for the month ended February 28, 2026. The filing shows that Alibaba’s authorised share capital remained at 32 billion ordinary shares and its issued share count stayed flat at 19,099,302,523 shares with no treasury shares, no new shares issued, and continued compliance with Hong Kong’s minimum public float requirements.
The monthly return also details that there were no exercises of share options, no conversions of the company’s outstanding convertible senior notes, and no share issuances under restricted share unit plans during February 2026, leaving overall share capital structure unchanged for the month. Existing equity incentive plans and convertible notes still represent potential future dilution, but for February there were no capital-raising or dilution events, signalling stability in Alibaba’s share base for stakeholders monitoring ownership and float levels.
