Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. received a rare downgrade from Wall Street on the same day it lost its crown as China’s most valuable e-commerce firm to one of its main rivals.
Morgan Stanley cut its rating on Alibaba’s American depositary receipts to equal-weight from overweight, lowering its price target to $90 from $110. That’s the first downgrade on the company’s US-listed shares since late June, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
