Alibaba continues to expand Double 11, its shopping event around Singles’ Day, a consumerist holiday meant for treating oneself. The 2016 version of the event was the retailer’s most extravagant and successful one yet. This year, Alibaba rebranded the shopping event from “Double 11” to “The 11/11 Global Shopping Festival”. Based on this rebranding and its surrounding marketing and promotional events as well as the integration of the most up-and-coming technology, it is clear that the retailer does not simply plan on expanding the shopping event but instead plans on leveraging the event to expand its business globally.

Equity Bottom-Up

Global Wafer (6488 TT): Purchase of Sun Edison Semi (Semi US) will move GWC to #3 global supplier and 17% market share, after Shin-Etsu and Sumco and ahead of Siltronics (Wacker Chemie). Semi wafer prices are set to show a modest rebound on industry consolidation and no material increases in industry capacity. Industry growth and market addressing synergies from the merger offset the lack of initial profit accretion.
