CapitolRadar analysis
32 disclosures split 18 buys to 14 sells
BABA has 32 tracked trades by four distinct traders from November 26, 2019 through July 24, 2026. The activity consists of 18 buys and 14 sells, giving purchases a narrow numerical lead across the full period. These records cover Alibaba Group Holding Limited, classified in Consumer Cyclical / Specialty Retail.
The quarterly data provided are uneven. The largest listed quarter is 2021 Q4, with six trades: four buys and two sells. Buying also accounted for both trades in 2022 Q1, all three trades in 2025 Q1, and the single trade in 2025 Q2. By contrast, 2023 Q4, 2026 Q2, and 2026 Q3 each show one trade and no buys. Those one-trade quarters are especially small samples and should not be treated as broad patterns.
17 of 18 buys came from two traders
Josh Gottheimer recorded 10 BABA buys, the most among the disclosed buyers, with his latest purchase dated April 4, 2025. Tommy Tuberville recorded seven buys, most recently on January 14, 2022. Pete Sessions recorded one buy, dated May 24, 2021. Together, Gottheimer and Tuberville account for 17 of the 18 tracked purchases; adding Sessions’ transaction accounts for all 18 buys. The facts provided do not identify the traders responsible for the 14 sales.
Six cross-holdings each overlap with one buyer
Among these BABA buyers, one also bought NTES, one bought MSFT, one bought IFNNY, one bought FWRG, one bought CRWD, and one bought ADI. The data do not specify which buyer corresponds to each ticker, and each overlap involves only one person, so the cross-stock sample is limited.
Disclosure timing and valuation remain important caveats: reported trades can appear up to 45 days after execution, and disclosed transaction amount ranges are estimates rather than exact dollar values. No amount ranges are supplied here. With only four distinct traders—and several quarters containing one or two records—the activity is a small sample.
