Shares Of Ant-Linked Companies, Alibaba Rise After Jack Ma Gives Steps Down

Shares of listed Chinese companies that count Ant Group as a major shareholder rose on Monday (Jan 9), after announcing that Ant founder Jack Ma is no longer their controller following an overhaul at the fintech giant.

Hong Kong-listed shares of Ma’s Alibaba jumped more than 5 per cent.

Shares of Longshine Technology Group Co Ltd, Jilin Zhengyuan, Shanghai Golden Bridge Infotech Co, Orbbec Inc and Hundsun Technologies, in which Ant owns a more than 5 per cent stake, also rose, Reuters cited.

Ant said over the weekend that founder Jack Ma will give up control of the company.

The overhaul seeks to draw a line under a regulatory crackdown that was triggered soon after its mammoth stock market debut was thwarted two years ago.
