Alibaba stock price target cut at Raymond James, but it's still a 'strong buy'
The price target for China-based e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s stock (baba) was cut to $280 from $300 at Raymond James, due primarily to the recent weakness in the Chinese renminbi.

Analyst Aaron Kessler reiterated his strong buy rating on Alibaba, saying the stock's recent weakness--down about 20% since mid-June while the Nasdaq Composite (comp) was little changed--was due primarily to macroeconomic concerns in China and currency moves, with the renminbi down about 9% versus the U.S. dollar since March-quarter results were reported.
