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. The new price target is 65% above Wednesday's closing price of $169.83.
