  • After $4.4 billion New York IPO, founders of China's Didi eye global growth

    From working at a foot massage company to setting up China's biggest ride-hailing firm, Will Wei Cheng has navigated several hurdles on the path to taking Didi Global Inc public in a $4.4-billion New York float. As Cheng rose to the upper echelons of Chinese technology entrepreneurs, he faced challenges including tough competition, intense criticism for Didi after rape and murder cases linked to its drivers in 2018, and a COVID-19 induced slowdown at home. While the biggest share sale by a Chinese company in the United States in seven years, which values Didi at $67.5 billion, is a big win for Cheng and co-founder Jean Qing Liu, experts say the challenges are unlikely to go away soon.

  • Why Virgin Galactic Stock Is Down Again Today

    Last Friday, Virgin Galactic Holdings (NYSE: SPCE) shares had a surprisingly strong reaction to news that regulators have cleared the way for the company to eventually begin flying passengers into space. Virgin Galactic's announcement on Friday that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the company for passenger space flights was certainly good news, but it was still somewhat surprising to see the stock jump 30% higher based on the announcement. After all, while nothing is a given, FAA approval was assumed and expectations that Virgin Galactic was back on schedule after a series of setbacks was a big reason the stock had rallied 40% higher in May.

    The 97-year-old told CNBC in an interview alongside Berkshire CEO and billionaire investor Warren Buffett that the United States should take a leaf out of China's book and "step in preemptively to stop speculation". Communist Party-ruled China "did the right thing" by reining in Ma, the founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding, who has hardly been seen in public since he criticised regulators in a speech in October last year. Alibaba was also hit with a record $2.75 billion antitrust penalty as China tightens controls on the booming “platform economy”.

    Let’s step back and take a look at the big picture, while keeping stocks in focus. Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit a series of record highs -- mainly due to increasing investor confidence that the current inflationary environment will be a transitory event rather than a sustained trend. Clearly, investors are not shy about stocks, even though the Commerce Department’s inflation indicator for May hit 3.4%, it’s fastest rate of increase since the 90s. Given this alarming disconnect, it has bec
