Description

One year has passed since Alibaba's IPO offering went public on the New York Stock Exchange, and the company has challenges to overcome. Although the company hasn't performed particularly poorly, it has plenty of competition from other retailers such as JD.com and has come under pressure for its poor transition to mobile computing. Despite these challenges, Alibaba is still predicted to perform well in the future.
