Alibaba's stock (BABA-W) plummeted 5.04% during Monday's intraday trading session following news of a securities fraud investigation.
The decline came after reports that the Portnoy Law Firm has opened an investigation into Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. over potential securities fraud and is considering filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors. The law firm is seeking to hear from shareholders to discuss legal rights and possible claims to recover losses, which has created negative sentiment among investors.
