International B2B Trade Portals
Supplier Relations US, LLC, Nov 2007, Pages: 127
On October 23, 2007, Alibaba.com, the number 1 ranked international B2B trade portal in our report, launched what is set to be the world’s second most expensive initial public offering, seeking to raise $1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Google’s $1.7 billion U.S. dollar IPO record in 2004 now looks shaky. Such an offering would easily value Alibaba at $8.8 billion U.S. dollars on November 5th, 2007, its first official trading day. This valuation is approximately 38 times its projected revenue in 2007.
Exactly who is Alibaba.com? Envious critics call it an IPO thief from China while cornerstone investors like AIG, Cisco Systems, and Yahoo are grabbing up 20% to 40% of these expensive shares. A slew of questions surround this relatively unknown company. Who are its competitors? Are there any U.S. competitors? Why is this market dominated by portals in Asia? What are the real risk factors? How will Alibaba sustain its revenue growth? Can it meet its 2008 goal? Can it expand membership beyond Chinese SME exporters? Perhaps the most important question is whether it can be a serious player in the $11 trillion U.S. dollar international trade. This report goes beyond Alibaba's 416-page prospectus and reveals insightful information on all these questions.
