Chinese retail titan Alibaba plans to list in Hong Kong in the final week of November, two people with direct knowledge said, aiming to raise up to $15 billion in a deal.
Rather than a pitch for money, analysts say Alibaba's prime motivation is to make its shares more accessible to Chinese investors, in line with a push by Beijing for Chinese companies to look more toward their home market.
A Hong Kong listing would also give Alibaba some insurance against the risk it could be delisted in New York.
