Interview with Rebecca Fannin on Alibaba’s IPO on NYSE

Alibaba announced Thursday it will list on the New York Stock Exchange in what could be the biggest-ever US IPO.

Analysts have valued the Chinese e-commerce giant at as much as $168 billion. That would put Alibaba behind only IBM and Oracle as the exchange’s top tech firms.

The decision could be a big blow to the NASDAQ — which traditionally has been the preferred listing venue for tech and internet powerhouses. In the first quarter this year, seven out of 10 U.S. tech IPOs listed on the NYSE.
