• Business Insider

China's Alibaba Group is becoming a serious threat to Amazon.

The e-commerce giant made its market debut Friday in one of the largest public offerings of all time. The IPO was priced at $68 per share, giving Alibaba an initial market value of about $168 billion. That exceeds Amazon's market capitalization of $150 billion, as of its closing price Thursday of $325.
