Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. fell on Monday amid escalating concerns that the stock may be booted off American stock exchanges for failing to comply with US disclosure rules.

The e-commerce giant’s shares declined 3.8% in Hong Kong to lead a drop in the Hang Seng Tech Index, which closed down 0.2%. The US securities watchdog on Friday added the stock to a growing roster of companies facing removal because of Beijing’s refusal to permit American officials to review their auditors’ work.
