Alibaba Has 1 Monster Hidden Asset

Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) has taken steps that could revive an IPO of its Ant Group holding. Its previous attempt to bring the company public fetched an enormous valuation.

Ant Group operates a digital payment app branded as Alipay. The company was founded by Jack Ma, who also founded Alibaba.
